Lakefront Escape w/ Dock, Water Toys & Grill

It was a pleasure to host Anthony and his friends for Memorial Day weekend. Nice to know the house worked out well for his large group and I would love to host them again anytime!

It was so wonderful to host Sarah’s family and the other family who traveled with them. I am happy all enjoyed the lake, gardens and my home too! Glad they found it so comfy, welcoming and it met their expectations, especially for all the young children in the group. I hope the children had a blast at our little beach playing with the sand toys we have for our “ special little” guests to enjoy. Again, thank you, happy aummer and would love to host you all again! Happy summer! Lisa

It was a joy to host Mike and his group of “Golfing Gents”! They were wonderful on every level! I am so happy the house worked out well not only for sleeping accommodations but also for all the fun outside activities you enjoyed! It would be a pleasure to welcome you and your friends back anytime!

We believe this review was written in retaliation. We're proud of our home and the experience we offer, and we encourage future guests to read our other reviews or reach out with any questions. While we are the new owners of this home, our first childhood jobs were maintaining the grounds under the previous owner, Lisa. We’ve kept the same trusted cleaning and landscaping teams who have cared for the property for years and remain committed to high standards. This guest contacted us about spider webs and pine needles on outdoor furniture, common in a wooded lakefront area. We immediately offered cleaning service, which they declined. To clarify other points; The grill showed only minor carbon buildup, not peeling paint or a hazard. Outdoor spaces are regularly inspected; the loose step was promptly repaired. The dishwasher is cleaned between stays, and dishes checked at turnover. Stairs to the water are noted in our listing, including photos. The “dirty” bocce court sits under an oak tree; acorns fall daily despite weekly raking. Our beach connects to a shallow sandbar, all passing boats must travel slowly to avoid running aground. After this stay we found significant property damage, including dozens of cut trees along the waterfront in violation of local and state laws. This has forced us to pause rentals to mitigate erosion and restore the shoreline. We also found new carpet stains and received noise complaints from neighbors. VRBO approved damage claims against this guest.
