We really enjoyed our stay. The pontoon, the trampoline, the fishing and the quiet lake/neighborhood was a hit with everyone! There were 11 of us and the house was big enough so it never felt too crowded. Well stocked house and everything was labeled so it was easy to find items.

We had an amazing stay! This property truly has something for everyone—our family loved the water trampoline, volleyball, playground, and the beautiful sandy beach. The fishing was fantastic, and having a pontoon available made exploring the lake so easy and fun. The house itself was spotless, comfortable, and incredibly well equipped with everything we needed. Property owners amazing and accommodating! From morning coffee on the deck to evenings around the fire, every moment was perfect. We can’t wait to come back!

Great place for a multi-generational stay

Loved the property! Excellent views of the lake from the back deck and from inside the house. Many spaces for folks to spread out. The pontoon was great, really glad we added that to our rental.

Great house for family vacation

This is our second time renting this property for our family vacation (8 adults, 7 children 1yr-9). The house is big enough for everyone to have their own space, when they need a break from the chaos 😜. Having use of the pontoon is a real plus. The owners of the home were always quick to respond to any questions we had. Hoping to rent again soon!

Week At The Lake

Really enjoyed our stay at this property. There was plenty of room for our growing family. Enjoyed the table space for dining together both indoors and outdoors. Loved the house and all it's amenities. The lake was perfect - the water clear, the beach sandy, fishing off the dock, and a beautiful pontoon to use to tour the rest of the lake. It was also very close to Alexandria so you could easily run in to pick up any needed items or enjoy local entertainment. The property owners were great to work with and very prompt at answering any questions.

Absolutely Amazing

We stayed at this house for our company outing and the place was big enough for everyone to be there and there was still plenty of room to spare. Claire and Michele were great to work with from day one. The house was beautiful and fully furnished with everything we needed. The property was in a great location only a couple miles from town. There was something for everyone to do in the house with the water activities, the games that were provided or we could just relax and enjoy the view.

A Fun Time

The house was everything we needed. We used pretty much all of it from the downstairs games to the upstairs washer and dryer. The kitchen had all the utensils we needed and everything worked great. The only thing that would be nicer is to have a little larger swimming area, and to be able to go out a little deeper without hitting seaweed. The fishing off the dock was great, even catching the little ones was fun. Jim and Michelle were very good about communicating with us in whatever situation. My family thanks you for a great vacation!

Another Fantastic Year at Our Favorite Lake Home!

Our family just wrapped up our second year staying at this incredible lake home, and it’s safe to say we’ve found our perfect getaway spot. The property offers everything you could want for a memorable vacation. The house itself is spacious and maintained well, with plenty of room for everyone to spread out and feel at home. The accommodations are comfortably furnished and equipped with all the amenities you could need. We’ve found it to be the perfect blend of cozy and relaxing. The lake is clean and clear, it’s understandable why we keep coming back. Fishing from the dock is always a highlight, with the lake offering plenty of opportunities to catch some great pan fish. Our kids had a blast with the swimming, trampoline, and paddle boats. The pontoon was a fantastic place for us to gather for an evening ride or middle of lake swimming antics. The volleyball and basketball courts offer entertainment for the adults while the children enjoyed the outdoor playset. The basement has a variety of video games for indoor fun. We can’t recommend this place highly enough. It’s become a special spot for our family vacations, and we’re already looking forward to our next stay!

Beautiful house and setting

This house was just what we wanted! Lots of room for our ladies get away. Big rooms, big kitchen table for eating and games. Lots of refrigerator space (2 full size, 2 mini)....two ovens....big cooktop. Several ice makers. So well stocked with soaps, paper towels, bathroom tissue, napkins, plastic forks etc along with so many places settings of flatware, dishes and steak knives. Most any utensil, pan, baking pan, bowls, etc you could want. 4 slice toaster, Keurig and regular coffee maker, crockpot.....you get the picture! And detailed things....from big spice selection.....to individual pre-pasted toothbrushes.....K-cup selection...hot apple cider mix....you get the picture. The view of the lake is stunning and it's a short walk to the water. The supplies and everything provided reflect the size of the property. Much thought went into this property as a vacation rental....and we benefited from it. Amos texted us right after we arrived and when we contacted him about a couple of small things, he responded right away. Great experience!

We spent a long weekend at the lake house with several couples and their young kids. It was a very nice place to stay with good amenities, lots of space, fun things to do, and a beautiful lot on the lake. We weren’t able to use the pontoon since they took it out for the season. We did have some difficulty with sleeping arrangements since our kids are young (ages 1-4). Most of the rooms don’t have enough room for children to sleep in them with their parents. Two bedrooms do, but for the other couples and their kids it was quite tight. Otherwise a very nice stay!

This was a very clean, nice house. The house, and especially the kitchen, had plenty of everything. We had gas for the grill, gas for the pontoon, plenty of towels, and all the kitchen dishes and appliances we could need. They run a tight ship. Our only complaintvwas that we looked forward to swimming, but the beach and lake were a solid weedy slimy thing.
