About this property

Lake Chillin’ at its finest!

You won’t find a better lake lot to relax! Our 4 bedroom, 3.5 bath home has everything you need to relax. Whether you love to fish and want a place for your family to stay while you’re on the lake, or you want some away time with the family this place has it all. Pet friendly with over an acre of land, large grassy area for fun and games and shade for a nap in the hammock! Come stay with us and if you want to leave at least you’ll go home relaxed!
Bring your boat or use our canoe or kayaks for the family to enjoy the lake. Mid river so equally close to restaurants and convenient to “low water”, “the rope swing” and not too far from “the jumping rock”.
You’ve got access to the entire place including the laundry. The only exception is the garage.
Best way to get me is by text. But I’m happy to chat!
Quiet cul-de-sac street with restaurants less than 10 minutes away.
Bring your boat and enjoy the lake!
There is a futon in the sitting area in one of the main bedrooms with sheets and pillow in drawer under futon and a queen size air mattress in the upstairs coat closet with pump, sheets and pillows if additional sleeping areas are needed.

Ian

A slice of heaven on the lake. Our family was in the area for our daughter’s college graduation. We were able to spend the time with family and friends and relax out on the lake. Lots off activities to do at the house, from corn hole, to the arcade system for the kids, to the outdoor fire pit in the evenings. The owner was very responsive with communication and worked with us during check-in. Would book again in the future.

Great Lake property!

We had such a great time at Lay Lake Chillin’! The home is very spacious and it’s a really good lay out for families. Plenty of activity options - kayaks, canoe, corn hole, swim mat, video game, fire pits… or relaxing options - swing, hammock, rockers/gliders on the porch. HUGE shower in master bath. HUGE yard and pet friendly. Kids loved the s’mores kits welcome package. Michael was quick to respond to all communications. We will look forward to going back soon!

Accommodations for golf trip

This was a perfect choice for our four person trip to sites along the Robert Trent Jones Golf Trail. Most of the courses that we played (9 total) were around an hour away, a couple were closer to two hours, but we able to play at multiple sites without loading up the suitcases and all our gear every day or two. We each had our own bedroom and plenty of space. Since we were golfing every day we didn’t get to enjoy just hanging out and relaxing lakeside, but it would be a great spot for that as well. Might try that next time!

DID NOT WANT TO LEAVE

I have stayed at many VBRO sites and this one was the one I never wanted to leave. Beautifully situated on Lake Lay, the home was inviting and warm, but not pretentious - it felt like HOME. The owners were easy to communicate with, answered all questions in a timely manner and super helpful. The location is perfect - just far away enough to feel like a retreat, but close enough to great food and other fun. Oak Mnt State Park not too far, and highly recommend a trip to that. The beds were so comfortable, plenty of pillows, and the bathrooms were swoon-worthy. Kitchen fully-stocked, furniture inviting. We paddle boarded on the lake (we brought our own, but they have kayaks), rested and read on the screen porch, and did yoga on the dock. It was a perfect retreat and we can't wait to return.

Son's groomsmen and family stay

We had a great time at the lake house. It was perfect for our family and the groomsmen for my son's wedding. All the beds were King or queens- No bunk beds- that is a hard feature to find with a place that sleeps this many people. Porch sitting with coffee on a quiet morning is tranquil after a busy wedding day. The homeowners are great to work with and were quick to respond to any messages we sent before and during our stay. They updated the pictures from when we book and they phenomenal now. You can tell there has been a lot of love and hard work poured out into this house. We highly recommend this property! *Note- we did not make use of any of the water activities because it was still chilly in April*

About the host

Hosted by Michael Weber

Host profile image
Living just an hour away, we love to enjoy the lake. We love sitting on the back porch, reading a book and listening to the lake sounds all around us. When we're not at home or at the lake we love to travel and have visited nearly every state in the country.

Why they chose this property

Lay Lake is quiet compared to most lakes. It's also a great fishing lake which we love to do. Spring Creek (the area of the lake where the house is) is a great area to avoid busy boat traffic and just enjoy. It's a good place for recreation but it's also some of the best fishing on the lake. Our street is a single street with a cul-de-sac and we're located at the very end so we don't have any vehicle traffic to worry about.

What makes this property unique

With nearly and acre and a half and 450 feet of waterfront (as well as a flat lot) we have one of the best lots on the lake. Come see for yourself and we're sure you'll agree. We also have an open-plan foorplan giving everyone a chance to be in the same room together. What better way to spend time together than to actually be in the same room together!
