About this property

Peninsula Paradise - North: Gray House

Venture out to this secluded waterfront resort in nature, surrounded by the lake! Watch the sunset over the water while you enjoy the outdoor area that includes a sprawling granite kitchen and high-top bar complete with propane grill, hot stove eye, a Big Green Egg, and bring your marshmallows for the propane fire pit. Fish from the beautiful brick pier into the floating lily pads that surround the peninsula.

Relax, recharge, and unplug at this gem of a location! Challenge your friends and family to a hearty game of shuffleboard. Plunge into the lakeside pool ( seasonally available ~April - ~September) with the poolside Tiki Bar, or soak in the hot tub (seasonally available ~September - ~April). Sit and read a book in the recliner overlooking the lake. Take the provided kayak out onto the lake or cast a line from one of the many over-water structures. Make new memories over a cold glass at the indoor dry bar. Set up the provided hammock to swing from one of the many serene spots on-site. So many possibilities for fun and relaxation await you at Peninsula Paradise - North!

Weekend Spring Getaway

Perfect place for our family gathering! We look forward to coming back again in the near future. Place was clean and has an awesome view of the lake from the back patio areas. The area was quiet which would allow for relaxation.

Early spring getaway

This house was perfect for the four family members and 2 dogs. Having the grounds fenced in was great to let “the kids” Dogs run loose whenever we were outside. Three docks to fish from worked out great even tho I couldn’t catch a cold. However my Brother in law landed a nice 6lb largemouth that was 22 inches long. His personal best and he turned it back for our next trip! House had anything and everything we could need and some things we didn’t know we needed. Host was outstanding and patient with my thousand questions. The sister property will be great for two families or one really large family can spread out. We go on vacation at three times a year and this is definitely one I will be considering going back too. ( I can’t let Brother in law out fish me).

That view!!!

This was a very nice place for my family to stay. The owners where amazing to deal with and you can tell they are trying their hardest to make sure all amenities are there. The view was probably the best thing. Wow

Paradise indeed

Our stay was amazing and more than we expected or could have asked for. It was great. It's private, clean, nice, beautiful and plenty to do. The internet was not working right, which was a bummer, but it just meant we unplugged more. Otherwise, great weekend and would do it again for sure!

About the host

What makes this property unique

As soon as we stepped foot on this land, we knew that it was going to become our own. The entire property juts out into the lake, giving us 270 degrees of water views. Between the dock, the stone pier, and the original wood pier, there are so many paths that we can take to get up close and personal with the water. Beyond that, this property has such a rich history of hosting vibrant family reunions that the love and frivolity of the past can be felt in every step. We are constantly eager to visit as often as we can, and never want to leave when it's time to. Beyond anything, we just want to share this magical place with others who can add their own joy, enriching the beauty of this place even further.
