Fun with family and friends

We enjoyed our stay! Some highlights: the deck facing the lake; the lovely sunken garden and the public dock in front (lifeguard during the day). There are some nice extras: air conditioning (!) made sleeping so much easier in the heat; a BBQ and kayaks for our use. The well-equipped kitchen has a variety of dishware. You might want to bring your own spices. It was comfortable and quiet. Thanks, Julie!

Loved everything about it.

Charming, cute, cozy and dreamy, this bnb has it all. We absolutely loved our stay and would highly recommend this space to anyone looking to have a wonderful vacation at the lake. We particularly liked the dock, water slides and diving board which were a lot of fun to play on. Beds were comfy and kitchen was well equipped for cooking. The back deck overlooking the lake was a super peaceful and nice place to hang out and enjoy the views. We will be back!
