This was our third stay at this wonderful lake house and three generations all had a fantastic time. The host is always quick to respond and check in was a breeze. This is the perfect vacation because everything you could want or need for the lake is right there. The kayaks and paddle boards were used a lot and we rented the pontoon boat again which everyone enjoyed! The improvements to the dock, extra porch and dock furniture, and a new refrigerator in the kitchen were very much appreciated! Mary W.

This was our second year renting this home, and it was just as wonderful as the first. The house is perfectly equipped for our large group of 6 adults and 6 children, offering a beautiful, serene waterfront setting with plenty of space for everyone.The accommodations are fantastic, with comfortable bedrooms, and a modern, kitchen that made cooking for everyone a breeze. We especially loved the outdoor space—from the spacious patio for barbecues to the fire pit for s'mores. A major highlight is the garage full of kayaks, paddle boards and the ability to rent the pontoon boat for fishing and fun on the lake.The location is a perfect base for day trips, and the host is always helpful and responsive. This home truly offers the ideal blend of comfort and fun. We've made so many cherished memories here and are already looking forward to our next visit!

Stayed with family for a week in Aug. We all had a great time. Plenty of room, beds were a bit uncomfortable and cleaning crew could be better. Overall great time on the lake, use of the boat, grill for dinners, fishing, campfires and sitting in the sun room. Owner and property manager Woody very responsive. Will enjoy renting again for more summers to come.

Great Lake House

This was a fabulous place for us to stay. It was near family that we were visiting and offered a beautiful backdrop and tons of fun water activities. The property is extremely clean and Woody was super responsive when we needed help. Although they couldnʻt repair the pontoon boat, the fact that they contacted a boat repairman was excellent. There were many kayaks, paddle boards and floaties to enjoy the lake! Love this home and would stay again next year.

The layout of the house was perfect for our group of 3 families. Each set of parents had a king size bed, and their own bathroom. The 7 kids fit perfectly in the bunk room. Plus there was seating for everyone to lounge and also for everyone to eat together. The view of the lake is beautiful.

Lovely lakefront house

New owners of this large, family-friendly house have done it up right for visitors. The location was the best in the area, complete with recreation equipment to use the lake and easy access to the clubhouse. The house was well-equipped in the kitchen. The TV systems were modern and had good instructions. Outdoors, the grill worked well, and we had a nice fire in the firepit. Access was easy. The owners were responsive and even welcomed my in-laws who had to stop by for a visit before we came. Would definitely stay again.

Perfect Family Vacation

We spent a week here for a family vacation with ages 55-10 years old. It had EVERYTHING we could need except the linens and towels, which we brought from home. House was very clean and the layout was as perfect for two families to stay comfortably. The lake is quiet, peaceful and clean. The kids loved kayaking/paddle boarding to the little island with rope swings.just off the property. It was the hit of the vacation! We also rented the boat and it was fantastic. It’s worth the extra $$. We did sunset cruises nightly and got some great pictures. Kids also loved jumping off of it. It definitely just needs a stronger anchor! We highly recommend this property for families looking for a fun and quiet vacation!
