This place was perfect for our family vacation. The beds were comfortable, the house was spacious, clean and cozy, and the views were amazing, whether it was from the house or out on the water. We enjoyed using the row boat and the fire pit. The neighbors were friendly and the neighborhood was peaceful. Would definitely recommend and would love to return one day.

The house was just what we were looking for. Quiet, rustic area, and a lake. Unfortunately, the weather wasn't very cooperative, so we couldnt venture out and enjoy the water.

Duck Lake Nice Stay

This was a great stay for my family. The house was plenty big for the 5 of us. The lake was great for swimming. You do have to walk down like 40 stairs to get to the lake, but wort it. The best part i could take my large black lab there, we loved that the most.

The house was spacious, modern, and clean, and the property was beautiful. We especially enjoyed grilling on the wrap-around deck with a view of the water, and roasting marshmallows at the fire pit. The lake was shallow and clear--perfect for our kids jumping off the dock.
