Beautiful home with Lake views. We enjoyed the space we had and beds were comfortable. We celebrated a cousin girls get away here. Shopping, Bars and Restaurants close.
This is such an excellent property. It’s one of the best I’ve ever rented. Clean. Organized. Well maintained. Beautiful property. Very comfortable. Quiet, yet close to town.

About the host
Hosted by Patricia & Brian
My family loves to travel and to be at the lake whenever we can. Nothing is more relaxing than sitting by the firepit and watching the sunset at the lake.
Why they chose this property
Best neighborhood on the lake. Quiet, calm and relaxing, but also great for fishing right off the dock.
What makes this property unique
Large year-round property with 2 screened-in porches, a deck and easy access to the lake without stairs or a road between the cabin and the water. It does not get any better than this! Great fishing spot and one of the best spot of the lake for some amazing sunsets.
