This home was incredibly clean, well stocked, and absolutely beautiful! There were 6 adults on our trip and it was very spacious! We brought our boat and used their wonderful dock! The gravel road to this home is long and extremely bumpy (just drive slow), but once you get to the home it will be smooth sailing! This was our favorite VRBO rental so far and we have been to a lot! We would definitely stay here again!

Perfect Family Trip

The house and location were perfect for a family lake trip with 5 kids 16-21. We could just relax and take in the view, or there were plenty of opportunities for fun. I would recommend bringing or renting a boat during your stay. The hosts were great and we would definitely love to come back.

Nice and relaxing getaway

Nice and clean with everything you need for a fun and relaxing getaway. Getting to the property could be a challenge in inclement weather as the 3 mile road is unpaved with hills. The s’mores kit was a fun and thoughtful touch.

Lakeside Luxury

We had extended family in town for a wedding, including some very older adults. This home was accessible, with one floor living. The home is beautiful and well-appointed. The views and grounds are amazing! Our family group had a wonderful stay. Owners are responsive and easy to work with. If you book this home, you will be glad you did!

Lake vacation 2024

Loved the house and all the amenities. Will stay again if we can. Launch for boat is very close as well as food/groceries. The only down side was the road to the house which has nothing to do with the rental, it’s a little bumpy!

Wonderful weekend stay!

We loved everything about this property. The house was exceptionally clean. The lake property is not a terrible steep hill so my parents did not have an issue with getting down to the boat dock or fireplace area. My parents celebrated their 50th wedding anniversary. We hope to return for another visit when the water warms up. I will say. this property has a lot of boat traffic so it is not the best location for dock fishing. Either way, my boys had a blast! Five stars!

Great place

Wonderful location and overall experience. Lake access is awesome. Owners communicated well and place was as described. Would stay again! One note for folks not driving an SUV or Truck...the road in is pretty rough. That's not necessarily unexpected since it is lake access living. Just drive carefully to avoid ruts on the gravel roads.

A beautiful place

A very nice house and property, little touches like the coffee bar and Smores bar were real nice. The boys loved the Kayaks, my son loved fishing from the boat dock. The only complaint I had was the bed in Master Bedroom was way to high off the floor, I had to get something to stand on to get in the bed and was afraid of falling. Us older people have problems with high beds,using a low profile Box Springs would fix this problem and make us older people happy.
