-Dock water levels are approximately 3 ft. No diving or jumping into water. Ladder and rafts provided for cooling off when utilizing the dock.

-We have full-time neighbors. Renters need to be respectful of noise during their stay.

-We have a boat on a lift on the dock. This is not to be utilized by guests. We ask that you please stay off of the boat. There will be a fine if there is damage done to the boat or our boat lift.

- If you have your own boat or wave runners, you are more than welcome to tie up along side the dock that has built in bumpers and cleats. Holly Grove Marina is located 3 miles from the house that has a boat ramp to use. Be mindful that you have to go under an overpass to get into Great Creek where our boat dock is. Large boats and wake towers will be a challenge to get through, however it is doable.

The hosts were quick to answer questions, and the home was just what we were looking for: a quiet place to get away for a few days. I personally enjoyed the hot tub; one in our group enjoyed kayaking; and we all enjoyed some local hiking and exploring. The kitchen was well-equipped, and we enjoyed quite a few meals on the deck.

A week in RetroRetreat Heaven

We were looking for a place to relax and enjoy the lake with family for July 4th. This suited all our needs! Comfortable and well appointed for the basics-plus! The home is on a quiet cul de sac and the most you hear is the nightly frog chorus. Our family trickled in over the course of the week and the real fun happened over the weekend. The dock is set up to enjoy swimming off of, and tying floaties to. Plenty of shade and sun areas. We rented a boat nearby to take the family out for more lake fun. The home and property had plenty of everything we needed. The rules are basic and simple. The walkway to the dock is lit, though like most lake houses, wear your rugged water shoes down - there’s lots of nature along the steep flagstone path. With one college kid in our group we learned there was plenty of hot water for her AND the rest of us!

Fun place! Perfect spring getaway. The driveway was long enough for two tow vehicles and our boat trailers. Holly Grove boat ramp was close by, electric at the dock and easy to tie-up two boats at the dock.
