Awesome dock and access to the water. We really liked the layout with the cabins on the property to allow for privacy. This was our second stay at this property. I highly recommend it.

Perfect setting for a retreat with friends!
What a wonderful setting to escape to! Light and airy...stunning views off the wrap around back porch! Spent most of the morning and late evening watching light dance across the water. Charmingly appointed and very clean...going back annually!!!
A gtoup of friends stayed for the weekend. The property is great for our dog to run free. Plenty of dock space to be outside all weekend. We will save and rent again
The property was perfect for our family getaway. Plenty of room for 5 adults, 2 kids and 2 dogs. We enjoyed fishing from the dock, plenty of gated yard for the dogs, plenty of seating inside and outside. Overall the house and apartments/exterior rooms were decorated beautifully and perfect for a lake house. Brandie was very responsive and accommodating to our questions and requests. We hope to be back soon!
This property was perfect for a quick weekend getaway. The yard and outdoor space was amazing - having a fence-in HUGE yard for the dog to play was perfect. Brandie was awesome and easy to communicate with. We caught big bass, catfish and bluegill. The King bed was extremely comfortable. The couch was one of the most comfortable too! Highly recommend this property - will be back.
Host worked with us to check in early so one of us could get logged in for work meeting. Place was clean and as described. The common area was spacious. All the beds and furniture were very comfortable. Kitchen was stocked to the hilt with everything a family would need and some. And, the dogs loved it. Allowing responible owners to bring dogs is excellent.
We very much enjoyed our time here. The surrounding houses are gorgeous- but this house was more our 'style'.
Great decor, the kitchen had everything we needed, and the beds were comfortable- the casitas worked great for us.
We brought our boat (boat ramp right down the street) and tied up at the dock/ platform area. We enjoyed cruising the lake. I don't think we would've swam right off the dock (lots of lilypads)- but my husband did jump in to cool off. We caught a bunch of fish right off the dock. Overall great time and great memories were made. We all agreed we would stay here again!

Clean and cozy
My family and I had a wonderful time, we felt right at home in the beautiful, spacious house. It was very clean, nicely decorated and had the best well equipped kitchen I have seen in a rental. I was very impressed that there was a welcome basket of local things like wine, popcorn, soap and chocolate covered nuts. The wrap around porch was awesome where we enjoyed a few dinners and morning coffee, the yard was big enough for my boys to throw a football and the fire pit was a huge hit where we sat around in the evening and made s'mores and talked story.
I would defiantly rent this house again and also recommend it to family and friends.

Wonderful place for a weekend or more of total relaxation
The house was a pleasant surprise, very clean and well equipped. The yard was great for our two dogs, the only negative thing was that the water was intentionally dropped by approx 4 ft to allow homeowners to repair their docks and boat houses. This created an avenue for our Labrador to escape, but no real problems. The house was open and airy and very comfortable. The neighborhood was very quiet and teeming with deer and friendly walkers. The overall experience was great, I will look to use it again in the future for sure.
We came out for a weekend trip to Hidden Falls Adventure Park to do some 4wd trail riding. Before we even booked the home, I reached out to Brandy to ask about proximity to the park (it's difficult to determine only based on the approximate location). She was fast and polite in responding and we ended up booking. The property is gorgeous, and right on the water. We brought kayaks and went out in the evenings to watch the sunset on the water. The home itself has two bedrooms, with two more bedrooms in different structures, which might be nice for groups that have folks with a need for privacy or go to bed early. The neighborhood is quiet, peaceful and overflowing with deer, and we even spotted a little fox at night. A+ host and home, would highly recommend and will probably visit again.
Beautiful property - we didn't want to leave (....but we did)
We had a great stay at this gated lakehouse. A gorgeous yard perfect for dogs, kids, and yard games. Took a snooze and read in the hammock we brought. Enjoyed the peaceful water back in this channel - saw and heard lots of birds (and the dogs appreciated the squirrel activity). We brought our boat with us, and it was very easy to put in/take out at the neighborhood boat ramp. We cannot wait to come back! Thanks for a great trip.
We truly enjoyed our stay at Brandie's lake house! The grounds are beautiful and our pups enjoyed the freedom to run around without us worrying about them getting out. The neighborhood is quaint with lots of deer and friendly folks. Since it's in HSB, it's near to many amenities like boat rentals, kayak rentals, restaurants and the club itself. Will definitely return!
This is my first time ever doing something like vrbo and Brandie made it all awesome experience. She communicated very well and made everything seamless and clear. The place was beautiful and very clean. The outside setting was great! We had no issues and look forward to coming back again. The people in the area were friendly and the area extremely scenic. Thank you for a great time and opening your home to us!
What a wonderful location for a holiday gathering with family. The huge wraparound deck with multiple tables & chairs & comfortable /plentiful indoor seating was great! Large lawn perfect for yard games & our dog, plus plus direct lake access fun as we brought a kayak and paddle board. Host was so helpful & friendly with excellent communication. Will definitely return & recommend.
The adults didn’t want to say goodbye to the beautiful lake view either, for that matter. Wonderful property, very communicative owner - a successful vacation all around!
Thank you, Brandie, for sharing your beautiful home with us. We’ll be back!!

About the host
Hosted by Brandie
Why they chose this property
I grew up having a lake house in Canada but we figured that was to far. So we began to look one Sunday afternoon, our other lake house was the first that we looked at, by Sunday evening we bought it. We have never regretted our decision. We have had our eye on this lake house so when it came up for sale we could not resist. We enjoyed renovating it so much we thought we would share. We love our homes and already have great memories with our kids, family, and friends!!
What makes this property unique
Sitting on the decks, boating on the lake, and evenings with family is what its all about! We have hosted Thanksgiving here, celebrated Christmas, fourth of July, and anytime in between. We love it!!
