We absolutely loved our stay at this beautiful waterfront lakehouse! The views were incredible — 108 feet of peaceful, unobstructed lakefront that made every sunrise and sunset unforgettable. The area was quiet and relaxing, perfect for fishing and spending time outdoors. The home itself was spotless, comfortable, and had everything we needed — especially the fully equipped kitchen, which made cooking together so easy. We can’t wait to come back!

The back yard is large and totally fenced. Our little dog really enjoyed going out in it and exploring. The entire place is beautiful and excellent. The high point was when several hundred ducks were in the waiter near the pier … then they all took off at once. What a beautiful sight. A very enjoyable stay. Thanks Laura !!
Huge flock of ducks taking off from the lake.

Family vacay

Property was super clean and nice. Plenty of soap, towels, etc and lots to do (kayaks, lawn games, floats, and inside games). Our only problem was the damage wind did to the dock which left it mostly un usuable, but tye owner did tell us about this prior to our trip. Once the dock is repaired, id love to stay here again.

Great location, views and access to the lake. Family overflow for our primary residence down the street. Easy to walk or golf cart between the houses. Unfortunately the boat house is completely completely unusable due to a recent storm

Overall we had a wonderful time. The dock was destroyed and made fishing tricky and renting a boat for the week out of the question. One of the skylights leaked during the rain storm and mold was starting to grow around it. I really wish I knew that before I booked, I would have selected another property. But we made the most of what we had.

Memorial Day weekend

The house is well-equipped and the location is great. We had a couple of small hiccups with check-in, but the owners were very nice and responded quickly. We especially liked sitting in the Adirondack chairs out near the water. The bunk room was a little tight and the grill needs some TLC, but we made it work. We enjoyed our stay, overall!

The property was perfect for our needs, the kids enjoyed kayaking, and our fur babies enjoys the back yard. The owners were very responsive if we had an issue, the neighbors were very friendly, and the fish were always biting. We will definitely be back!

I was sad to see the damage to such a beautiful home. We enjoyed our stay. I steal my family…husband, daughter and family son and family. I get to have them all to myself. For a week. So glad this wonderful home was available. We ate, we swam, played games and just really able to enjoy each other. Neighbors are wonderful and friendly. Laura was available when question arises and very helpful. We had a good time. Thanks for sharing your wonderful home with us.

Nice location

We enjoyed our stay but I have to say the damage to the dock wasn’t explained properly. The pictures do not show the current condition. Owner said the dock was 2/3 usable but that is not the case. One side is completely collapsed and there’s caution tape about 6 feet after you walk on the dock. The location of the home is fantastic, the water was never too rough to get in and enjoy the lake. The listing states there are kayaks however they’ve been poorly patched and take on water so they were not usable. This is a real safety concern. Fortunately our adult children had life vests and were able to safely return to the house after trying to take them out. They had to get out of the kayaks and push them in.
