We have stayed here multiple times. We love it. It's a short drive to Jackson which has some great musuems and shopping. The house itself has plenty of beds for sleeping and a nice large kitchen/dining space so we could cook and eat meals there. There is also a very nice screened in porch area which is great to eat on.The outdoor space is also wonderful, you can fish right off the backyard. A lovely stay.

Weekend with family

This house on the reservoir is perfect for a family gathering! Plenty of space both inside and out. Will, the host, was very helpful in answering questions and providing information in a timely manner. We enjoyed our weekend stay and would recommend it to others.

This was our second time staying at this property and, as always, was great. Kitchen is stocked with everything needed to host meals and the house itself is neat and comfortable. Love the spacious living room area where our family was able to enjoy reading, playing games, and just looking at the beauty outside through the large windows. Beautiful outside and appreciated the canoes to explore the beauty of the Rez. Proximity to the walking/running trail and Kroger also great. Easy to communicate with the host and clear expectations appreciated. Feels like our "home away from home" when visiting family in MS.

Superior waterfront property!

Extremely spacious property. Room to relax. Well stocked. Great location. BUT note the signs about the gators before hopping in the water. The signs are true. The gators around the island have been fascinating to watch.

Lake House Retreat

A group of friends and I were in Jackson to compete in an event in Madison. We wanted a place that was far enough out of Jackson to be away from crime, had plenty of room for 4 adult men, and to be on the water: this place fit the bill. While a little dated, it's very roomy, the location and security is incredible, and it's very well-furnished. I would stay here again with no hesitation!

Cozy house on the water.

Great area! Loved the layout of the house, ton of window area looking over the water, great outdoor area. We had the best space to have a graduation celebration and entertain family from out of town. The hosts were so accommodating and quick to responding to our requests. Loved the whole property and experience. Would definitely rebook in the future.

Beautiful views of the lake and huge yard. Quiet and peaceful. The house is at the end of a culdesac with no traffic. We are an older group so the house being one level was good. All 10 of us could easily gather in the big open den and kitchen.

About the host

Hosted by Will Hederman

Host profile image
We grew up skiing on The Rez and love spending time at the Lake House whenever we get a chance.

Why they chose this property

This house has been in the family for 4 generations and my sister, Janelle, and I had a chance to bring it back to life in 2012. We took over the property from family members and we have done a significant amount of work to bring the house up to modern conditions while keeping the nostalgic feel. We love the views, sitting by the water, connecting to nature and we enjoy sharing it with others.

What makes this property unique

Property is made up of 4 lots, which is highly unusual. The house sits on 1 lot leaving a huge yard and significant water front access/views that can't be found anywhere else on The Rez. Many have mistaken our place for a public park.
