We had a fantastic stay at this lake house. The property was clean, comfortable, and perfectly set up for a relaxing lakeside escape. The view of the water was beautiful—especially in the early morning—and the outdoor space made it easy to enjoy coffee, fishing, or just unwinding by the lake.

We rented this place for the weekend to celebrate our son’s 13th birthday, and it could not have been more perfect! The stunning views alone were unforgettable, and having such an amazing host truly was the cherry on top.I was searching for a space where our family could gather and celebrate him in a special way, and this location absolutely knocked it out of the park. The kids were constantly entertained with the paddle boards, kayaks, and water trampoline! It kept them busy and happy the entire weekend!It was the perfect mix of relaxation and fun, and we made memories we’ll never forget. Highly recommend!

Great location to stores and town of Lexington. Lot is private with a great yard not too far from the lake. Perfect little sunroom for breakfast and dinner viewing the lake. Sunsets are amazing. Host was extremely personable and hospitable. Always a quick response for communication - some owners are not as diligent on reply’s. Pet friendly is always an essential for us and host was friendly and didn’t have a million questions about the topic ! 10/10 would recommend. Of course home was clean and stocked with essentials and a welcome bag was top notch hospitality. Thank you for a great time!

We had a WONDERFUL time! Thank you Strouds for sharing your beautiful lakefront property. Everything in the home echos COMFORT . They truly go above and beyond in the amenities. The kayaks and bounce pad kept us entertained for hours. We napped in the ultra soft king bed. Peaceful chairs and porch to read or just relax. Our pup loved the outdoors too. Comfy couches and blankets to watch a movie in the evening. Spacious kitchen to make meals in. Did I mention the porch?! I could have just lounged there ALL day. We hope to return again! Thank you so much
