Gorgeous retreat with multiple comfy and clear views of the lake, large trees, and bird songs for nature lovers but all the comforts of town within a few minutes. Hosts were responsive and had everything we needed when we realized we’d forgotten our own (wine opener, hair dryer, etc.). Would definitely stay again!

Check in was super easy! House was cleaned and looked just like the picture. Beds were super comfortable. The house was very roomy and warming. The upper deck was nice and the view of the lake was beautiful! We brought our pontoon boat and docked it at their pier and that made it more fun! Overall, our stay was very nice and I'd definitely stay there again!! The hosts were very fast with responding.

Quick weekend on the lake

Great little lake house that fit our family of 4 for a quick weekend. Nicely remodeled. Owner was very quick to respond to questions and accommodate a couple requests for us. The best part was hanging out on the deck and enjoying the lake view and breeze with extended family who were staying at a hotel.
