The deck and the view were awesome! We had 3 generations of the family and had the best time! We relaxed, played games, painted and put a puzzle together. We made so many memories to cherish. Tommy was great and we couldn’t be more happy!

The lake house in Mineola was a real treat. We had a party of 6 with a few more people added at a couple family gatherings throughout the weekend. We enjoyed the back patio with wonderful sunset views, fishing off the dock, and smores at the firepit. The kitchen was well equipped so we didn’t have to eat out. Wonderful memories were made in a quiet, peaceful and well kept property. The bunkhouse had its own bathroom which was convenient. I could go on, but I would definitely stay here again. Thank you

We had an absolutely phenomenal stay! From the moment we arrived, everything was spotless, well-maintained, and exactly as described. Our four boys (ages 10, 9, 8, and 6) had an absolute blast and stayed entertained the entire trip.The beds and pillows were incredibly comfortable, and everything smelled so fresh and clean. It truly felt like a home away from home. We appreciated how welcoming and relaxing the space was.This was the perfect place for our family getaway and to celebrate our son’s birthday. We made so many wonderful memories here and WILL be booking again and again. Highly recommend to anyone looking for a clean, comfortable, AFFORDABLE and family-friendly stay!

I know it’s a lake front but I would have had the back deck cleaned up a little more and all the cobwebs cleaned off the dock. Only complaint. Otherwise it was a great place to stay!! Very clean. Comfortable!!

The house was perfect for us! It had everything we needed and the location was great for an event we were attending on the other side of the lake. We will definitely be back for another stay. Thank you!
