Just a wonderful place off the lake paddle boards, kayaking fire pit.The inside was clean , love , the kitchen lloved everything about the property the pathway lights at night was very beautiful.
Our family greatly enjoyed staying a couple of nights here. We had a campfire every night and great central point for visiting the National Parks in the area.
We really enjoyed our Christmas stay. Celebrated at our daughter’s house with the grandkids but had our calm down time in a nice place with a great view. Was able to invite her family over for breakfast. Already have it reserved for next Christmas!
Spectacular view from the front door. The property is very thoughtfully well stocked with everything needed for a relaxing and comfortable stay. Check-in/check-out instructions were perfectly laid out which made the process seamless. Would definitely stay again.
Nice space with a wonderful backyard right on the lake. The unit is separate from the rest of the building and is accessed around back. The apartment is a little dated in spots but nicely kept up and clean, with a well-furnished kitchen. It was a good spot for our family.
We love the fully stocked kitchen, the comfy beds and the space in general. The yard and lake are beautiful. Plenty of parking, and the hosts are truly so kind and want to make the stay as comfortable as possible. Also check out that cute donut shop nearby, so good!!!
Wonderful hosts and surroundings. It’s like your home away from home, but a thousand times better. Kayaks and paddle board available for you to use as well as life vests.Full kitchen with spices and sauces and even pancake mix for you to cook with. Safe neighborhood.

Great stay. Property manager very attentive and likeable. We will stay there again and again
Everything about this rental was perfect! It had everything we needed and was super clean. Location on the water was great. Good parking with well lit access. Ron was very welcoming and helpful. Would stay again!
It was a fabulous view and many water toys to satisfy all ages. Loved the fire pit. Tiffanie and Mike were wonderful, they looked out for our every need. Very comfortable, nice fluffy towels, lots of kitchen dishes, pots and pans. Everything you would need to cook. We will be back to visit— for sure. We loved it, lots of outdoor seating.
