About the host

Hosted by Patti

Host profile image
I enjoy sharing my home when I am not able to be at the lake myself. its a great place to make memories as I've made many myself! I hope your stay will be wonderful and one you will remember fondly for years to come. Sincerely, Patti.

What makes this property unique

My home is 50 feet straight up from the lake, I have a beautiful big tree for shade in the heat of the afternoon, there is a great swimming area to stay cool and spend hours floating or swimming! there is also a swim raft to lay on. I enjoy the outdoors tremendously during the summer months.
