About the host
Hosted by Roger N Mary Bahr
Mary & I are both retired, she from personnel administration and nursing, and me from law enforcement... and computer administration... and truck driving. We are just common, friendly, country people who put on airs for no one.
We do all the maintenance and repairs on the property. We mow and trim our own grass, and maintain the walking trails.
Why they chose this property
Our Lake House sits at the head of our small lake, down in a bowl, surrounded by woods and a large lawn. We are located on a quiet, well-maintained township road that has no through traffic. There are no other houses within sight. It is peaceful, secluded and quiet here, and the air is crisp and clear. Fall colors are spectacular.
There is security lighting on all sides of the house, controlled by manual switches which are readily identified and labeled.
We have installed many "smart" accessories including interior and exterior lighting, thermostat, and door locks. We have installed external Wi Fi cameras for security monitoring. No cameras are monitored while guests are present, but we do check them occasionally for security purposes.
We have established an extensive network of hiking trails through fields and wooded areas. We mow & trim weekly during season in order to provide clean and safe walking paths. A printed map is posted on the wall near the fridge. Trails are restricted during deer season and the map will be so noted.
Nature abounds! It is very common to observe deer, wild turkeys, wild geese, rabbits, and squirrels on a daily basis. Less common are a great blue heron which frequents the lake and wild ducks and geese on the lake. Bullfrogs and the occasional whip-poor-will are the most common evening noises you will hear.
The lake is fed by seven natural springs and the water is very clear. It is suitable for swimming, fishing and other water activities. The lake has abundant fish species through previous stockings and natural proliferation. It is common to see several varieties around the edges of the water. There are several grass carp which can be seen from time to time. A couple of them are HUGE.
We recently stocked several 1.5 - 2 # largemouth bass
What makes this property unique
When guests reach the driveway and see the property for the first time, we want them to feel and say "WOW, this place is beautiful!" Our first guests did exactly that and sat there long enough for me to wonder if they were coming on down to the house.
We will do everything within reason to make your stay here one that you will talk about for years, that you will share with your friends & family, and that you will return time after time.
Your satisfaction is our number one priority. If you find anything lacking, unacceptable, offensive, or not as promoted, we will do whatever it takes to make it right with you.
