Perfect place to relax for couples, friends, and family!

Bring your boat, canoe/kayak and explore the lake. Sit back and relax in the open living space and enjoy the gorgeous view of the deck, yard, and dock all from the comfort of the couch. There are so many things to do for the entire family to reconnect, relax, and unplug.
Brand new ice cold AC, perfect for your summer getaway!

Use of the private dock is included during your stay! Feel free to bring your boat and dock it during your trip. The dock is lit by a motion sensor activated solar light, so you can fish at night as well.
As this is a lake house, you may encounter bugs and animals (i.e. ants, mosquitos, spiders, mice, snakes, etc.) during your stay. The house is treated regularly for pests, but if you leave out food or leave any doors and windows open you will encounter bugs inside and out of the home. Please make sure to bring appropriate bug spray to treat yourself during your stay.

Thank you for the 8/10 review. We are pleased to see that you enjoyed our location, value, and the cleanliness of the home.
Regarding the bathroom layout, this home was built in 1970, and that window is a classic architectural feature of the era. While it may be unconventional today, it is a key part of the property's original charm. To ensure our guests have full privacy without losing that character, we have equipped the window with both functional waterproof blinds and curtains.
We appreciate your feedback and are glad the rest of your stay was a success. We would love to host you again in the future.
Great place with an amazing view! Very nostalgic and will definitely take you back to your Grandma’s house! Hosts are Great & very responsive!! Will be back for sure!

This review made our day! We love that our home could take you on a trip down memory lane. There’s nothing quite like that nostalgic comfort paired with a great view. Thank you for being such fantastic guests— we can't wait to welcome you back soon!
One of the best VRBO we have stayed in.It was just like the picture online and that is not always the case. The house was in great condition and the Lake view was Amazing. My only recommendation would be to remove the wasp nest on the door to the deck

Thank you so much for the kind words! We are thrilled to hear that the house and those lake views lived up to your expectations. We strive for 'what you see is what you get,' so it’s great to know we hit the mark.
We also sincerely appreciate the heads-up regarding the deck; we have taken care of the wasp nest to ensure the outdoor space is comfortable and safe. We’d love to have you back for another stay soon!

Thank you for the feedback. I’m surprised by this rating, as I reached out daily during your stay and received no indication of any issues. I even followed up post-stay to offer help with returning your lost items, but received no response. Since no concerns were raised during your time with us, I’m unsure what this 'life lesson' refers to, but I wish I had been given the opportunity to assist you.
