About the host

Hosted by Jaclyn Santiago

Host profile image
We are the Santiago Family. We love to travel and take our kids on new adventures. Most of all, we love the lake! Having a home so close to the lake has been a life long dream. We are so pleased to be able to share our lake house with you so that you and your friends or family can also make lasting memories.

Why they chose this property

We set up our vacation house with all the things that are important to us. Comfy beds, clean linens, a kitchen stocked with cooking essentials and space to play. There is ample space to park your boats, jet skis, trailers, RV, etc under our large covered parking.

What makes this property unique

Probably one of the best aspects of the Boat Haus is the outdoor space. We have a great fire-pit, a grill, outdoor kitchen with a fridge and sink. Come have a great day on the lake or exploring the nearby towns, then come back and enjoy grilling, hanging around the fire-pit or playing the many yard games we have on site!
