This was my family's first time at LOTO. We will definitely be returning! I grew up boating every weekend as a child, but at a much smaller lake. LOTO is huge, and busy. What made this home so great was it is situated on a "quiet" part of the lake. Yet you were near attractions, so it was the best of both worlds.
The house, while it looks small in the pictures, is actually so well organized it was a very comfortable stay for my family of four. The home was clean, it had everything we needed and even things we forgot to pack. The property manager was very quick to respond, and we had no problems at all staying there.
As nice as the home was, the property itself is where this listing shines. It is on an acre surrounded by trees, making it very private. My sons are 14 and 10, but this home would have been great even for younger children. Plenty of yard to explore.
The dock was huge and comfortably held our stand-up paddleboards, the boat we rented (and had delivered to the dock), and all our gear. The home is nestled in a small cove. In the mornings we could paddleboard out to the larger lake and explore. In the evenings we could boat to eateries located on the lake only a few minutes away. And when the lake was busy, we could boat a few minutes north to a great cove perfect for swimming.
If we did not feel like going anywhere, we could fish or swim right off the dock. And at night we enjoyed sitting around the firepit.
I cannot say enough good things about our stay.
