About the host

Hosted by Patti

Host profile image
I enjoy sharing my home when I am not able to be at the lake myself. its a great place to make memories as I've made many myself! I hope your stay will be wonderful and one you will remember fondly for years to come. Sincerely, Patti.

Why they chose this property

It’s a wonderful spring fed lake not too small not too big, we have a great spot no steps just straight out to the lake.

What makes this property unique

My home is 50 feet straight up from the lake, I have a beautiful big tree for shade in the heat of the afternoon, there is a great swimming area to stay cool and spend hours floating or swimming! there is also a swim raft to lay on. I enjoy the outdoors tremendously during the summer months.
