Thanksgiving Family Getaway

This was a very clean property that delivered everything that was promised. It was a very peaceful, relaxing location and the accommodations were well-appointed and comfortable. We enjoyed fishing off the pier…caught and released quite a few bass. We liked it so much that we’re thinking about coming back this summer.

About the host

Hosted by Will Chesney

Host profile image
I am a retired Navy veteran who purchased the lake house after being medically retired to spend more time with family on a beautiful lake. We have currently purchased an RV and are traveling the country and want people to enjoy our beautiful lake house. We have had some amazing times at the lake and would love to share the same experiences with other people!

Why they chose this property

It is the perfect getaway for anyone traveling through, having a vacation with the family or just wanting some quiet time away from the city. Especially if you love relaxing on the back deck by the water or fishing.

What makes this property unique

The back porch and the amazing view of the water is definitely the highlight of the property. Perfect for spending some alone time reading or family gatherings with a BBQ pit you can use. Don't let this take away from the large, open and very comfy inside of the house. If there is a rainy day, no worries we have you covered with video games, dart board, puzzles and plenty of board games. There is also a large television in the living room with Apple TV and multiple streaming services but with all of the other activities you might not need it! High speed Wifi is also available if you need to get any work done.

If you want to fish there will be multiple poles you can use along with a couple of kayaks and a paddle board. Fishing right off of the dock is always fun as well, where there's a table and chairs for relaxing or dinner right on the water.

We will be adding unique items people may enjoy looking at from my time in the military and my military working dog Cairo.
