Great get-away home

Great outdoor deck space and large table indoors for all 5-6 people to sit comfortably and talk, eat, play games, etc. Ample sleeping accommodations and close to the water and town. Highly recommend!

Weekend Getaway

This was the perfect place for a peaceful getaway. The views from the master bedroom and the living room were amazing. Loved looking out at the lake. The place was very clean and in a great location. Would definitely recommend and look to stay again some time.

Convenient for two couples

We were pleasantly surprised at how nicely furnished this little home was and how comfortable and convenient the living area was for relaxing and enjoying our reunion of 2 senior couples. We made use of the multiple dining options both indoors and out and were pleased with the kitchen appliances and also the basement washer and dryer. The home was easily accessible by car to the town and area attractions. We wish we could have stayed longer!

Quiet, wooded setting

We truly enjoyed the peace and quiet for a weekend escape from parenting our teens and our pets. We found the kitchen to be adequately appointed for cooking a nice meal.

Wedding Weekend

We were in town for a family wedding. The property was in an ideal location. Everything was neat and tidy throughout. There was plenty of space for all six of us. I would recommend for anyone wanting to stay on Rock Lake.

Came home!

My parents built this house and it was where I was raised for 18 years. I have many great memories of my childhood and this home. While it has been updated, thankfully!, it kept its warmth and charm!

Amazing time!

Our family stayed for a quick birthday vacation for our 9 year old. The property is well cared for and the location is great! We had a bit of a problem initially with the lock, but Dan & Donette were right there to help. We look forward to to going back to this location again in the future!!

Three Sisters Quilting

My 2 sisters and I came to have a quilt retreat together. The house was perfect for quilting because of all the windows. If we do this again next year we will definitely want to come back here. Also Donnette, we wanted you to know that Thursday evening when we ran the dishwasher and it reached the drying cycle we smelled a very hot electrical smell coming from it. So we immediately turned it off and did not run it again.
