In back of a quiet cove. Close to several boat ramps. Even with lake level down was still able to get boat to dock. Only thing missing was a power source to charge boat batteries. Well supplied and children oriented. Easy access to town

The hosts were great with response times for inquiries. The house and rooms were in great condition, the lake was a little low, but you can’t blame the hosts for that. We had a great time relaxing, making s’mores and fishing.

We had a wonderful time staying at the lake. The weather was just perfect for the whole week. The house was in a nice cove and felt very private. We called it the tree house. We had a large group so we were a little crowded. We would definitely stay again with a smaller group next time!

July Weekend

The view of the cove from the deck was great and a short walk to the deck and water. The cove was shallow but we were able to dock the pontoon. The house is a short boat ride to town. It felt like we were in the woods but actually in a neighborhood. I would stay there again.

Great place to stay enjoying the lake living. Enjoyed the proximity to the boat launch and availability to keep boat and boat trailer on-site. Just a few steps and you’re on the boat enjoying the lake. Fishing was good on the lake too!MIles and Cherise were great hosts! . Their communication for booking the property and questions regarding trailing a boat were answered immediately. They were very accommodating to our needs for the boat. They made the entire process easy and comfortable. Great job! Highly recommend a stay at this lake front property.
