Cancellation Policy: If you make a reservation and must cancel, I will refund 100% of your money providing I can re-rent the dates you had reserved. I am usually 100% booked in the summer, mostly with returning guests, and have a waiting list at times, so typically with enough notice, it is not a problem. I am sorry, I cannot refund last minute cancellations unless I can find another renter.
Our prices include all fees. No hidden fees.

Perfectly perfect! The space was just right for our extended family and I watched with joy as many meals were prepared by our sons and their wives! The children especially loved the sand and water areas. Our grand daughters both cried as we left, begging to return! Jeanne was wonderful and dealt with our questions immediately. The only thing that would have made this week better would have been if it was TWO weeks! Many thanks for sharing your beautiful home!

Beautiful property; impeccable host

We made lasting family memories at this property on Magician Lake. The house is beautiful with ample room, but also comfortable. The teens essentially had their own apartment upstairs with bathroom and kitchenette...Jeanne is a thoughtful and responsive host. Highly recommend!

Large Family Vacation

The pictures don’t do it justice! We rented this house for our large family vacation and it was great! There was plenty of space for everyone to stay and the kitchen/living room area was perfect for whole family gatherings. Plus the “apartment” as our big kids called it, over the garage was a great space to put all the big kids where they could hangout together. They had everything they needed up there, so it was a good escape for them. And the yard was amazing. It was right on the water, had plenty of tree coverage and the small sand area was fun for the kids. The water was shallow enough that the little kids could easily play in it but we’re still able to jump in at the end of the pier. Also the owner was great! She answered all our questions and responded to any problems we had right away. We will definitely be staying here again!

Fabulous location and spot on the lake

Plenty of beds for our family of 8 to spread out for the few nights that my 5 kids would be there. Great neighbors. We ate all meals outside on picnic tables and kept drinks outside since it was lovely area and also to avoid a mess inside the house. Didnt love the sand area by beach only because it drags alot of sand inside and I found myself vacuuming and mopping each day. But small kids would love this area. Home could use some updates and painting but overall it is very cozy and functional. I would definitely be aware of check out times and making sure you remove linens and put clean linens back on beds. I really don't think the pictures online do it justice. The home is much nicer than the pics. We loved the screen in porch since it kept all of the bugs outside. And it allowed us to play some fun games and enough room to hold 10 people around the table comfortably. Also the beach in the water is a nice hard sand. Many areas on this lake are muddy in the water and hard to walk inside the water. This area of lake has excellent quality of sand and you can easily walk out to end of pier. Great spot on the lake.

Amazing

This property is AMAZING and the owner is beyond AMAZING! Pictures do not do this house justice. It is absolutely beautiful and HUGE! I chose this location because it was close to the venue my son was getting married at. This house was perfect for the rehearsal dinner and the bride wanted pics and to get ready for her big day with us versus the house she rented. House is located in a cute, quiet and safe neighborhood. This house is perfect for young children to older adults. You can block off areas to keep the little ones contained and everything you would need is on the main floor for older people. The walkout to the lake is a flat surface and the dock is sturdy and huge. Beds are comfy and the linens are perfect. Washer and dryer worked perfect! Kitchen is beautiful and has everything you might need or don't think of. The bathrooms were amazing and clean with plenty of towels. Plenty of hot water! Screened in porch was our favorite. We enjoyed our coffee in the morning with a fire and the beautiful lake view at night by the fire. There is nothing negative about this house! It is perfect.
