❛❛ The Hosts were amazing and responsive to questions asked. Would definately stay again! Traveled for a funeral to this area with 4 generations under 1 roof. Plenty of space for everyone♡ ❜❜ (Shawn And Lisa)
❛❛ This lake house was just what we hoped it would be! The views are stunning and it was peaceful, comfortable and clean. Having the dock made for plenty of great swimming/floating time and we were able to take advantage of the provided kayaks for some exploring. ❜❜ (Tina)
❛❛ The house was a wonderful place to spend a few days together with our family, including our 2 grandbabies and the grand dog! :) The space was perfect for time together, and there was space to spread out when needed, too. It’s a beautiful location, and we enjoyed lots of time swimming and floating in the lake, right off the end of the dock. We also rented a boat and wave runners from the marina, which is close by. That was a great experience as well! ❜❜ (Amy)

Great stay at an easy to get to property. Had a storm hit the first night that blew things around the property and several items off of the deck. Let owner know at checkout and all was good. A few items needed to be fixed inside the house but most were minor. Kitchen was well stocked and met our needs. Ladybugs were present downstairs but nothing that couldn’t be swept up.
