This was a perfect place to relax and refresh for five busy moms and best friends. We loved sitting in the lake all day and laughing by the fire at night. We can’t wait to stay again!

hi jesse,
thank you for your review of our home & so happy you enjoyed your stay & got to enjoy our lakes. 20 lakes in 20 minutes is what they say, but i know its hard to beat our sandy lakefront, great for the kids & swimming.
We had a great time- place was right on the water, with a sandy bottom. Was a bit warm, but the fans they provided, was a huge help. Weather was great! We really enjoyed our stay and would recommend.
Check in was easy. Nice kitchen. Very clean space. Bathroom was very clean. It is right near a public park/beach area. We didn't check out the park, but being close to it wasn't bad. No extra noise, etc. We caught fish off the dock. We had a good time.
Thank you jeffery,
Were glad you enjoyed
Our home & found it quiet & comfortable . We hope you will consider us again on your next venture.

Congratulations...so happy to hear your family enjoyed their stay in our home, we were happy to accommodate your wedding guest... hopefully that 1 star given was a typo.. as your kind words led us to believe.. thank you for booking your families stay with us!!
Super cute house! The owners provided everything you could have wanted. Being right on the lake was a major plus and they provided an awesome paddle boat that definitely got its use. Would definitely recommend this property and would stay again if we come back to the area.

Thank you!! Were so glad you found our home comfortable & most important you enjoyed your stay!! Please come again!!
We enjoyed our second stay. Nicely appointed, clean home. Used the paddleboat and ate most meals on the deck overlooking the lake.
Already looking forward to next time!!
The house was clean and well apponted. It had everything we needed. Enjoyed the indoor gas fireplace and outdoor fire pit. Used the provided row boat several days.

Thank you john for your kind review, we really appreciate you booking your stay with us !! Come back anytime.
I could write a book on all the great things about this lake house. From the quiet comfort to the very close local conveniences. The morning view over the glassy calm lake is pure eye candy. This place has it all.

Our family has been vacationing in the area for 55 years. At one time we had 3 different family members on our lake & have enjoyed many days together . we hold those memories close to our hearts & like to return every chance we get. this year we had the opportunity to purchase my parents lake house and decided to share this special place with you.
Why they chose this property
BEAUTIFUL WALK IN SANDY LAKE FRONTAGE.
What makes this property unique
the peaceful tranquility of our lake during the early mornings
listening to the loons call and enjoying the beautiful sunsets
after a full day on the water.
