Beyond awesome
We have stayed in 4 other similar properties in this area when visiting family. BY FAR this one made the biggest impression. Grandchildren loved having the upstairs bed room with room for them all. The kitchen has lots of counter space for multiple cooks and buffet set up. The sectional is a great gathering and snuggling spot. The master suite is luxurious and separate The best for last - The pool is great for beginning swimmers and lounging The gazebo gives view of the pool on one side , the hot tub on another and the deer on another Golf cart to the park for glorious viewing of the eclipse!!! Everyone loved hand feeding the deer everyone said “We want this house next year!!?”

Nice house
The house is set up nicely so everyone had their own space. The kitchen had every item needed, the beds were comfortable and it was great to have 3 bathrooms. The backyard is fantastic with the pool, hot tub, eating and sitting area, firepit and daily visits from deer. Kara was easy to contact and resolved a small issue quickly. The neighborhood is very quiet but is a bit far from some things and there are lots of hills. Thank you Kara for allowing us to stay in your home!

Amazing Home
We loved our stay in this beautiful, very clean home. After visiting the surrounding busy cities during the day, it was so nice to come back in the evenings to such a peaceful and relaxing setting. We enjoyed seeing the deer right outside the back yard. The home had everything we needed and I would highly recommend it. Host was awesome to work with.

Why they chose this property

This is a new listing! We are so excited to share our home with you. It is a modern 4 bedroom home with all the fun you would need for a vacation getaway! Other than just a pool, hot tub and inside fun, we have deer that come everyday, even in the fall, to be fed and watched with awe. Some are skiddish but some might eat from your hand! It is very special and we thought we should share this special vacation home with others.

What makes this property unique

All the amenities including the lake, pool, golf cart and hot tub!
