Great location on the lake. Perfect sized home for our family of 4. We traveled with a 3 and 7 year old and they loved swimming in the lake and using the downstairs game room. Large patio is great for relaxing and the propane fire pit and tiki torches help keep the bugs away!

Beautiful lake views on a quiet road was the perfect setting for a step away from a stressful season. The house was full of nostalgia, reminding us of our childhoods growing up around Lake Bowen. The expansive decks provided lots of space to breathe and relax. The tiki torches were a plus, warding away pests. We will return in a more temperate season to fully enjoy them. The house provided ample space for us and our grown daughters. Garage parking was an extra plus on our rainy departure. The bedrooms were peaceful and dark, perfect for sleeping in.

A wonderful stay at the lake!

We truly enjoyed our stay at Chris’s home this past weekend! The views and large deck area is what sold us and it was even better in person! The gas fire pit was perfect for the chilly evenings to hangout by. The kitchen was stocked with everything needed to make a yummy meal for a group and the house was clean and nicely renovated but still had that homey feel. Thank you for sharing your lovely lake front home with us!

Lake house with beautiful views

A country lake house with beautiful views of lake. Autumn provided a bit of leaf changes and the outside decks offer wonderful views. House is nice and clearly has been renovated with care. Rooms are nicely decorated. One bathroom upstairs between two bedrooms and one downstairs.

Lovely

We all enjoyed our stay at Lake Bowen. Far enough away from the hustle and bustle of life but close to all the essential bamenities. The decks were amazing and there was plenty of room for us to spread out. The lake was a bit busy on Saturday and Sunday but calmed down completely during the week. It was refreshing and the perfect spot to entertain the kiddos. If i were to do it over again, I would pack our kayaks!

Fabulous all around

The host was fabulous as was the property. I had mentioned I might find a kayak to rent prior to going. When we arrived there was a new kayak down by the docks. The views are amazing. The interior of the house was vey nice. The decks around the house and lower patio was really cool. I highly recommend this property and the host. It’s a great get away that can accommodate a couple people or a large family.

Beautiful location!

My family and I loved the house and the location. The house was clean and roomy inside and out. There are 3 decks outside overlooking the lake. One has a fire pit and we enjoyed relaxing by it at night. Another deck is covered and it provided shade to sit outside during the daytime. There is a children’s area in the bedroom downstairs which was perfect for my daughter and her family. Communication with the host was easy and he was available to us the entire time we were there. Can’t wait to return for another stay!

Chris was great. Communicated very well. House was perfect for what I needed for the weekend. Accurate description of the property. Driveway is a little steep but no issue. The walk to the dock is steep but good exercise. Very pleased.

Dustin I'm sorry that your stay was unsatisfactory to you. I'm sure you would have given a better rating/review if I broke the cancellation policy, but unfortunately you made the reservation and I stuck to the cancellation policy you selected at the time of booking. Next time I recommend getting cancellation insurance.
