What a lovely home this is! The views are spectacular. The home is clean and well maintained. Bed and furniture are comfortable. The back porch is a haven. Peaceful, quiet neighborhood. Close to larger cities if needed. Sharon is delightful- respectful and an excellent communicator. Will definitely stay again. 5 stars- thanks for sharing your home!!

The screened patio is truly bug-free, the hot tub is clean and super easy to use, and the house was very clean. The kids and my husband loved that they could fish RIGHT there. It didn't seem like the best spot to swim, but we took a quick drive to the other side of the lake so the kids could swim at the small beach we saw from the house. Which turned out to be a double-win because the park by the beach has a splash pad and playground. The coffee shop in town was great, too.

About the host

Hosted by Sharon Kipp

Host profile image
My parents bought the tiny house and transformed it to the place of their dreams. We boated, fished and loved every minute of each others company. I want all my guests to have times like that with the ones they love.

Why they chose this property

My Dad trusted me to keep his project alive and make sure our family continues the legacy of hard work and great fun.

What makes this property unique

The hot tub is small enough that it is easily filled with clean water after each visit. This limits excess chemical usage in trying to 'keep' the same water.
