Perfect Family Vacation
This is our second time visiting this lake but first time staying at this property and it was AMAZING!! It is clear how much thought and preparation the host has put into this house to ensure their guests have a great visit. Plenty of room for our family to enjoy meals, games and movie nights together. Lots of fun aspects that the kids enjoyed like ping pong in the garage, shuffle board in the upstairs den, the hook and ring game on the back deck, swings/hammocks hanging from trees and the hidden loft over the hallway. The lake is beautiful and we loved our daily boat/kayak rides. Plenty of beach/water toys that kept the kids entertained for hours everyday. Very relaxing and peaceful trip! This is our second time renting from this host and both times he has been engaged, extremely friendly and very responsive. Highly recommend and hope to keep the tradition going by coming back in another two years!!

Awesome Lake House
The lake house was awesome. The house had plenty of room for our family and was just a few steps from the lake. Chris provided everything needed for a relaxing and enjoyable vacation.

Great cabin/house on a quiet private lake
We had 11 people ranging from 2 to 61 with plenty of room for more. Fantastic amenities inside and out, all in great shape! Outside there are kayaks, paddle boards, a pontoon boat, beach toys, outside games, fire pit, grill, hammock and swing - all were used! Inside the house is fully equipped and organized with labels so you can easily find things and know where to return them. We had some rainy, windy, chilly weather so the abundance of indoor games and the ping pong table were appreciated. Chris and Julie were fantastic hosts! They were quick to respond to some questions we had and even provided a personal touch when they found out it was our 40th anniversary. Good people who take pride in their home and sharing it with others!

What makes this property unique

Whether you want to relax by the fire pit, relax in a hammock, relax on the beach, or relax on the lily pad, you will find your relaxation right here! There is plenty to do as well... fishing, kayaking, paddle boarding etc. Your children will enjoy catching frogs and turtles as mine did (do) right on our property. This property is truly a slice of heaven.
