We had a great time with family...several did a littke fishing off the dock and even caught a nice bass . put it back in the water...needed more cups for coffee because it was cold but we managed...just loved being with each other and ringing in 2024..thabjs for sharing the lake house with us Mark....
Wonderful location for the family to come together and relax. The property is definitely off the beaten path, but the house and surroundings are well worth the journey!
This was an enjoyable stay, the place was clean, owner responded to all my questions, the place had all the equipment we needed to cook and BBQ, the view of the lake is incredible. Will come back again.
This has been our 4th or 5th time staying here. Absolutely fantastic and we will be back next year

Why they chose this property
This house was newly constructed about 6 years ago and was built for fun and large groups who enjoy being together
What makes this property unique
We have tile floors throughout both houses which makes cleaning up easier and the very large screened in porch offers plenty of room for games and fun.
