Spacious and welcoming, this “retreat” was perfect for our family’s time near Dayton. The plentiful deck areas made for pleasant outdoor time. The kitchen had most of what one needs to prepare meals and all appliances worked properly. We really enjoyed our stay!

What an incredible experience. We have done multiple VRBOs over the years but this has been our favorite home so far. The home itself is beautiful with so much space. We had a total of 10 in our party and there was space for everyone including our toddler granddaughter. The property itself is beautiful. The morning views over the lake from the dock or the back porch is magnificent. There are a lot of steps to get back and forth from the dock but they are well built and not overwhelming. Our host, Bev, was incredibly responsive to any questions that we had. She left the Christmas decor up and made our holiday even more special. We also received an incredible gift basket that shared about the history and culture of the area. Thank you so much for an incredible experience that we will remember for years to come!

Paradise found!!!

We hosted a family reunion! It was everything we hoped for! Kids loved the lake, boating and fishing! The accommodations were perfect! There was more than enough space for our large group cookouts, gathering on the decks to watch the sunsets, and storytelling in the living room space. Beverly is a great host! Communication A!!! Thank you for sharing your beautiful home with us! It was our second reunion there and would highly recommend!!!
