What a wonderful location! Everything about our stay (bachelorette trip) was immaculate. The hosts were extremely communicative. The house is listed as a "wellness escape" and that's exactly what it is. We enjoyed time in the hot tub, sauna and even had a private yoga instructor come in to teach a class. She commented on what a great job the owners did outfitting the yoga studio. Will absolutely stay here again!

This review makes my heart happy. This is exactly what we are aiming for. Creating a relaxing retreat from your everyday life where you can relax, refuel and reconnect. Thank you so much for visiting with us and I hope to host you again in the future!
One of the most thoughtfully decorated and stocked homes I’ve had the pleasure of staying at! The hosts were super responsive to our requests. The house is brand new. Pots, pans, workout room, even a spare tooth brush in case you needed it is provided. We docked our 24 ft pontoon at the private dock and enjoyed the paddle boards. I highly recommend this property for your stay.

Thank you so much for the lovely review, Josh. It was a pleasure to host you and your family for your triple birthday weekend! We truly enjoyed hosting you and hope you'll come back again in the future!
We had such a wonderful stay at this property, truly one of the most relaxing and enjoyable spring breaks we’ve had. The house was spotless, beautifully maintained, and incredibly well stocked with everything we needed to feel right at home.The owner was fantastic, very responsive, attentive, and clearly cares about making sure guests have a great experience. Their taste in decor and furnishings is A - beds are super comfortable!!!!!There was something for everyone. The kids had an absolute blast with the paddle boards and kayaks, while the adults loved unwinding in the sauna and taking refreshing dips in the “cold plunge” lake. We also rented a boat for a few days, which made it even more special to cruise around and take in the scenery. A stop at the Blue Parrot was a fun highlight as well.Overall, it was a simple, serene, and memorable getaway.
The house was beautiful. We had a great time bringing in the New year, here. The game room was super fun, as well as the family board games, provided. Loved the sauna and hot tub. Great laundry room. I particularly Liked the kitchen appliances: coffee makers, air fryer, toaster, and the nice dishes and pots/pans. I appreciate that we were provided with quality items in the house. Only one of us did kayaking since it was too cold, but that is another great option, provided. Lauren, was an excellent host!

The house is a perfect retreat. Plenty of bedrooms and bathrooms to accommodate the family. Bonus rooms include the game room and the yoga nook. The kitchen is well stocked with pots, pans, cookware, appliances, coffee makers, etc. Bedding is very comfortable. The hot tub heats well. The property is situated on a quiet alcove on the lake. Overall great experience and would recommend this place to enjoy your time away
Thanks for the positive review, Greg. We truly enjoyed hosting you and your family and hope to see you back again soon.
