This home was perfect for our stay. It was clean and comfortable and the host communicated very well. The screened-in porch was a great place to hang out and watch the beautiful view and amazing sunsets.
Great place overall! Comfortable beds, great screened in porch/deck with view of backyard, and incredible view of the water. Having a covered area with seating for the grill area was also a major plus. The property is in a location where no boats seem to pass by, so it’s extremely quiet and allows you to enjoy the sounds of nature. Hosts were very accommodating with a welcome basket, and having all important items/information labeled in the house. We would absolutely return again!

This was a beautiful, out of the way spot. I love feeling like I've left work and problems behind and to just be able to breathe. If you're craving a beautiful sunrise or sunset, just click "book now".
Awesome host! Kept in touch and was available for any questions. The property was very very clean and the neighborhood very quiet. Hopefully we will be able to return in the near future.
Renee was a great host. We had a couple little issues and she was immediately on getting it fixed. The home was so peaceful and the view was absolutely beautiful. We visit family that is only 6 minutes away and we will always choose to stay here. Thank you Renee for hosting us.
If you like a relaxing and quiet stay, Slice of Heaven is the place. The lake house was clean and had everything you needed. Renee was quick to respond with questions and checking in to make sure everything was going well.

Thanks so much for your feedback! The back porch is also our favorite place to be. We love sharing the comfort and beautiful lake view of our home with guests.
Overall good experience and host was great. Area not the best which is what we were checking out. The screened in porch overlooking lake was the best part. Accommodations were ok, but was very clean and everything was provided.

Thanks so much for your feedback and also for taking great care of our home! We absolutely love providing a unique and enjoyable experience for our guests. It would be an honor to host you and your family again in the future.
I had an amazing experience at this Slice of Heaven. The neighborhood is very quiet and serene. The house is extremely inviting and comfortable with lots of extra touches from the hosts. I slept like a baby and enjoyed watching the sunset and sunrise on the screened back porch overlooking the lake. The view was unforgettable and breathtaking. I wish I could have stayed longer.This will be my preferred home any time I'm in the area!
What a fantastic view! This house was just as described and impeccably clean. The owner supplied everything you need in the kitchen. You could easily prepare a meal without having to bring a lot of "extras". No small detail was missed. The owner was also incredibly helpful, offering suggestions for dining and swimming spots nearby. The beds were super comfortable, and the house genuinely felt like a home away from home.
It is right on the lake and picture perfect beautiful. Sipping coffee in the mornings on the 3 season porch watching a peaceful sunrise and listening to fish jump in the lake, it was perfect! The house is super clean and the extremely comfortable beds made for peaceful evenings. Our host was very tuned in to make our stay most pleasant. Sublime VRBO.

Hi Steven. Thanks so much for your feedback and kind words! We strive to give our guests a great experience that makes you want to visit again soon. You were also the perfect guests. We really appreciate how you took great care of our home and followed all the house rules. We would be honored to host you and your family again in the future.
Met some friends for a girls weekend and had an amazing time. We all loved the location and the amenities. We did not leave at all. Views of the lake are stunning. It was on a quiet section of the lake and there were no houses directly across. The screen in porch with rocking chairs were perfect for morning coffee. It was also awesome to have a table out there to eat and have space for activities. I also was able to see a blue heron catch a fish while sitting on the porch. The inside dining room was also perfect for us as we love board games and it offered tons of space. The kitchen is well stocked with pots, pans, and other things for cooking (especially things I have found often left out of rentals). The beds were very comfortable too.All of us agree we booked the best space for us for a relaxing weekend and would return in a heartbeat. The host was very communicative and quick to answer any questions. They were very kinds and accommodating.
All went well with my stay. There is no road sign leading to the property so it’s easy to miss the turn. I had one concern and the hostess addressed it. I would definitely recommend this location.
