Great views, good fishing, perfect swim area for all. The house was very clean and well kept. They offered items and sleeping arrangements specifically for children and we very much appreciated that. We enjoyed the porch swings and rocking chairs daily. We fished off the dock and via boat and caught several. The fire pit was awesome for s'mores with the family.

Family trip on the lake

This was our second trip to this house on Rose Lake. The house is well stocked, very comfortable, and just as described. We love the crib for our littlest and the space to spread out for the rest of us. The swimming off the dock and sandy bottom made for excellent memories! Looking forward to coming back again soon.

We had a wonderful stay. The house was very nice, spacious and clean. The view of the lake was absolutely beautiful and the water was so clear. The beach area was perfect for the grandchildren to swim and play. We could have used more refrigerator space due to our 5 year old granddaughter having diabetes and celiac disease so we did all the cooking at the lake house. Everyone would like to return next year for another vacation.

Cozy lake retreat

This property is a great destination for a lake getaway! We were in the area for my son’s wedding. And although our schedule was pretty busy. We enjoyed being able to unwind by the lake with a beautiful fire. Definitely would like to stay again. When be we have more time!
