This stay was wonderful. The views, the peace and quiet. Our family really enjoyed our stay. Rooms are cozy and very comfortable- specially the bunk bed room.Kids loved all the room and board games. Everyone enjoyed being on the dock, the lights in the evening and fishing in the day time. The drive was beautiful everything was still green. We enjoyed our stay.

Lauren and Joe's house was exactly what my family needed. We wanted to teach the kids how to fish, and we ended up never leaving the house. The kitchen was well stocked and had everything we needed to cook multiple times a day. Access to a private dock and a paddle boat were just really nice, we caught a few fish and even got to chat with the friendly neighbors. All in all, the home was clean, well kept, and a wonderful experience. Cheers to Fireball Joe from the Lal family!

Unforgettable honeymoon

This place was amazing. Everything you can think of was available at the house. The boat dock made it extremely easy to keep our fishing boat right at the house the whole time. The road getting in was a little narrrow and tight but we mamaged just fine. Everyone was extremely friendly in the neighborhood. This was an unforgettable honeymoon trip, we hope to celebrate it here every year now. Thank you to our amazing hosts for allowing us to stay an extra day

We fell in love with this place, the views, being on the water, the neighbors
