Great place to stay. The house was super clean, the lake pristine and the hot tub a huge bonus. Very quiet spot to enjoy relaxing on the porch or dock. In fact the swing on the porch was our favorite spot. Can’t wait to return next summer.

Beautiful country retreat with incredible porch and private dock. Reading books and board games galore. Definitely a perfect relaxing hideaway. Hosts were amazing and made our stay so comfortable.

The pictures accurately depict the property. What the pictures don't show is how much care and thought goes into preparing for your arrival ~ there was a hand written note waiting for us! The hosts had amazing communication and made sure every little detail was tended to prior to arrival but then reached out to be sure we knew they were there if we needed anything during our stay. The house smelled amazing and was extremely clean. There are 2 different dining areas, a full kitchen, plenty of extra blankets and towels, and an incredible lake view. We would definitely recommend this property to others and would return if in the area.
