This home welcomed our family from the moment you step in. From the bueatiful lake view to leasuire activity equipment like the kayaks to the sweet fairy gardens on the back porches where we could enjoy the lighting bugs on the water at night. As you can see in the pics morning coffee while enjoying the view is a daily must. The kitchen had everything you ever needed for food prep but the house is close enough to have food delivery as well. We just loved the stay and will be sure to book again!

From the owner: "Thank you so much for your sweet review. It gives us joy to know others experience the welcoming home that our parents created. We love our coffee/tea on the back deck as well!"
We stayed at this beautiful lake house for the weekend and it truly felt like a home away from home. From the moment we walked in, we were greeted with warmth, charm, and comfort in every corner. The kitchen was fully stocked with everything we needed, making it so easy to cook, relax, and enjoy quality time together.The views? Absolutely breathtaking. Nestled in a peaceful, quiet cove, we woke up to still waters and ended our evenings with golden sunsets dancing across the lake. It felt like we were in our own private slice of paradise.The location was perfect, secluded enough to feel like an escape yet close enough to stores and conveniences so we never felt too far from anything we needed. Every detail was thoughtfully considered and the overall experience left us refreshed, grateful, and already dreaming of our next stay.In a time when most Airbnbs are sparse and lacking essentials, this felt warm, inviting and like we were sharing a home with friends.

Weekend summer fun
The house was amazing, clean, and in a great spot on the lake. We stayed just two night in July.Initially I almost passed on this house since it zero reviews. Did not know if this was a scam listing. The only thing I could look up online was the management company and their reviews online weren’t good.Since we have a boat and we specifically chose this house since it had a boat dock, we rode by it with our boat to make sure exterior pictures on the listing match reality.When we got inside, I swear the house felt larger than you would imagine thing from the online pictures. We had 10 high school grads and they all had their own beds. House was clean, kitchen was very well stocked with any pot/pan, kitchen gadget you would ever need. Downstairs had pool table, ping pong table and lots of seating to watch a movie. Overall the house was very comfortable and it was easy for large groups to eat together.My only slightly negative comment is the dock. It’s showing its age and it’s on its last leg. There were some spots where we almost step thru the wood boards. Concern is that soon the wood boards could produce some large splinters that could be dangerously with people barefooted.Overall it’s an awesome house on a quieter stretch of water. 100% would recommend it and I hope to have an opportunity to return to it next summer.
