Fantastic stay! The property was comfortable, family-friendly, and had so many games available that our family stayed entertained throughout the trip. The screened-in porch was absolutely beautiful and quickly became our favorite place to relax.We did experience a water pressure issue, but the host was incredibly responsive and had it resolved within a couple of hours of notifying them. That level of attentiveness really stood out. Highly recommend!

Another successful 4th of July Vacation!

My family and I absolutely had a wonderful stay, again. We love the layout of the house, backyard, and new dock. Cove is quiet and perfect for my two young daughters to swim and paddleboard. Boat ramp in yard is a plus for us too. Definitely will be staying again and again.

Living room is a great gathering spot and packed with fun games. As comfortable as the inside spaces, the outdoor deck and dock provide a great opportunity to enjoy the lake.

We had a great time at this wonderful lake house! It is on a cove, very private, has its own boat ramp and new dock. The outdoor space was great and the house was very clean and well stocked. Fran was a great hostess. We enjoyed fishing, boating, enjoying the lake view and watching the birds.

The house has everything you need and more. Very clean and organized. So many fun things for the kids to do. We took our Grandchildren ages 3 & 5. They enjoyed the games, fishing, catching fish, frogs and fireflies. My husband loved that the boat ramp was easily accessible. Would definitely stay again.

This property is located in a quiet cove. The boat launch for our fishing boat was the easiest we ever had. The house itself was wonderful; spacious, clean and comfortable with a lot of little extras that made it more special. When we needed to reach out to the owners they responded promptly.
