A beautiful home in a beautiful setting. The backyard was scenic and peaceful. The view was amazing. We hung out on the dock and on the patio. We will definitely rent this home again when we're back in the area.

Lake House Vacation

Our family had an amazing time staying on this property. The home is gorgeous and the dock spectacular! Ample space for a boat. We used the pedal boat, paddle boards and relaxed in the hammock swings. Loved those! The game room was a hit! Great to have when traveling with 12 year olds and teens.we absolutely loved this Lake House. The views were incredible. Hope to stay again next year!!
