We had such an incredible stay at this lakefront home! From the moment we arrived, everything felt clean, bright, updated, and welcoming. The home has been beautifully refreshed with modern upgrades, stylish decor, and a fully updated kitchen with great appliances that made cooking and gathering easy and enjoyable.The outdoor setup truly made this place special. We spent our days kayaking, floating on the lilypad, swimming from the beach area, fishing off the private dock, and relaxing in the hammock with lake views. At night, the sunsets were absolutely stunning and the firepit area was the perfect place to unwind.The neighborhood was peaceful and quiet, yet there was so much to do right at the property. It felt like the perfect balance of a relaxing retreat and a fun getaway. We made so many great memories here and would definitely book again!

Comfy and cozy

Cute and cozy home was clean and comfortable. Lots of shade, the kids had a blast and the water was shallow enough that we didn't have to constantly keep worrying about the littles going too far and not being able to reach. Overal a great experience.

Awesome views LOVED this property!

This was a great place to stay and celebrate my birthday with my family. We also had family friends with us and our two dogs and it was perfect. The home was good size and we spent a ton of time out on the back porch and in the back yard. The views are incredible and this home is so relaxing. A great getaway. We loved to oversized connect 4 game- we played this for hours! The hammocks and firepit were great. Everything was fully stocked and clean. Am planning on staying here again!

Perfect Lake Getaway!

Wow, what an amazing lake front property! This house was perfect for our family of all ages! The house is very spacious and has such an awesome backyard that we spent most our time outside! We especially loved the kayaks, fooseball table and patio furniture under the shade. The dining room with the view of a lake was perfect for our breakfasts to start the day. The owner was so communicative and accommodating for a few custom requests. I highly recommend this property!!

Absolutely Amazing

This property and the owners did NOT disappoint me. My family enjoyed themselves to the fullest. I would absolutely do business with these owners again hands down. The house was beautiful. The lake off the dock right there is shallow, so all of my nieces and nephews could enjoy the lake water, also without knowing how to swim.

AWESOME FAMILY TIME

There were brand new high end paddle boards my kids loved!! My kids were in the water the whole time! We took the kayaks out multiple times, and saw lots of fish and birds flying around the lake. The Adirondack chairs were nice to relax on at night or watch the kids in water. The house was nice and clean and fresh. Super comfy for our large group of 12. Had everything we needed, thank you we will be back!!

Overall we had a great time. There were three dogs belonging to the family across the road which were not leashed. Two of them were pretty aggressive and would charge toward our dogs. We wished there were step ladders at the dock for people and dogs. Thank you
