We stayed for my nephews 16th birthday and we all loved it. The kids enjoyed kayaking, playing on the water mat and fishing. The house was absolutely perfect, beautiful views and so much to do outdoors. Stephanie was a great host and helped us with where to rent a boat and any questions I had she got right back to me. I would recommend this place to everyone. Thank you so much for a beautiful weekend!

We enjoyed our week at the lake. The house had a good location, off the main water so not disturbed by motor boats or jet skis which was nice. Lots of games and puzzles for rainy days and night time and we enjoyed the outside screened in porch, hammock, and corn hole boards.The listing and house could use some updating -no lake towels, one paddleboard was missing rudder, outside needs some perking up -just some details that make a place stand out from others.We did have a nice time as a family and the owners were very responsive to the issues we had during the week.

Weekend getaway at the lake

This home was lovely, warm and inviting. It had all that we needed to relax for a long weekend with the kids and our pup. No one wanted to come in at night and the view of the sunset was gorgeous. We’d stay here again, with or without the kids!

Great Stay!!

This house was very clean and was in a perfect area! The house had everything you would need for your trip, plus a few extras. The host went above and beyond to make sure our stay was pleasant. The host were also very quick to answer any questions we had! I would also like to add: the master bed was soooo comfortable! 😊 Hoping to be back next year! Thank you for a great time!

Awesome! Awesome! Awesome! This place was perfect for our stay. We were there for a fishing tournament and it was very close to the marina and we were able to pull our boat to the dock at the property. The boys had a blast in the water with the available kayaks and the adults were able to relax from the screened in porch and the dock. Peaceful area and wonderful memories!

We had a lovely time at this very comfortable home. The setting on the lake was so perfect for kayaking and spending time reading, overlooking the lake on the screened porch. The kitchen was well stocked, which is very important for us since we enjoy cooking. There were even condiments which we forgot to bring.We slept very well on the king sized bed which was very comfortable. Since it was just the two of us, we didn’t use the other bedrooms but we will keep this home in mind for our next family vacation with our grandchildren.

Perfect Stay

Our trip was from June 29th-July 6th and it was wonderful! This was our little ones very first vacation and the house was equipped with so many different things that first time parents normally forget. We could not have asked for better communication and the house was spotless. Both sides of our family came for a few days of the week and this home was perfect for everyone. You have so much space to have family time and even alone time if you need to unwind. The home was equipped with anything a person may need, full kitchen supplies, linens, tools, and so on. We will definitely be back next year! This home is a much book for families!

The property was spotless. The cooks in our family were impressed with all the tools available in the kitchen! Kayaks, paddle boards, corn hole and the fire pit provided opportunities for lots of outdoor fun. The screened porch was perfect for early morning coffee and late night card games. Great place for a long weekend getaway!

We had 3 kids and 5 adults. We all loved the lakeside dock, the excellent breeze off the lake and all the watercraft. The large rooms were all great, except for the 2 small bedrooms were a bit crowded. We enjoyed the fire pit, the screened porch and the beautiful surroundings too. It was quiet in the cove without many people around during our stay, so it seemed quite peaceful. The coffee bar was a nice addition! The property could use a bit of maintenance here and there (screen door sagging, noisy washing machine, scratched teflon skillets, damaged cornhole boards) but overall a great place to enjoy a week with family!
