This place is magical. The layout is amazing. It is comfortable and spacious. We were able to relax and just enjoy everyone's company but not be on top of each other. The kitchen is well appointed and we were able to cook and find our way around. The hot tub was very relaxing and the outdoor fireplace was a lot of fun to play family games in front of. We're already thinking about when we can come back next year.

Property is as good as it looks online. Kitchen is stocked with every appliance you could use. We were there for our daughter’s wedding and several evenings other family members would join us on the deck for a drink and they were all impressed. We rented a pontoon one afternoon and the dock works great for loading people on. Michael was easy to work with.

Wonderful Stay

We fell in love with this amazing property. The house is fantastic, very clean, and you could not have better views of the lake and mountains. The lake is so peaceful, and nearby wayah bald is a must-see. Local marina was great. We could not have asked for more. One of our favorite family vacations that we will not forget!
