A lakeside rental was on our "bucket list" but it had to be an experience we wouldn't forget.
The description of the house and the beach and all the amenities could not have been more accurate. The place was practically "TURN KEY". Beautifully appointed, comfortable and very clean.
We had 3 couples and 3 kids. The lake was peaceful and quiet especially during the week and the water was refreshing. The kitchen was fully supplied with everything you needed except the food. The 3 kids were never bored and everyone enjoyed the paddle boat; the canoes; the beach; the firepit at night; and the dock out in the lake for sunbathing; jumping off of; and swimming.
The surrounding town also had a variety of things to do but we mostly stayed at the house and on the lake. The weather was excellent.... hot during the day for swimming etc etc, but cool at night for sleeping.
Kimberly, the owner, was always there to answer all of our questions before and after we arrived.It is their retirement home in the future but they take care of it like they were living in it all year round.
There are good restaurants in the area but the one we really enjoyed was the Sunny Villa restaurant. There is a great golf course, a marina for boat rentals and many nice hiking trails
One of the highlights of our stay was seeing a beautiful and very large bald eagle swoop down from a tall tree next to our house and grab a dead fish that was washed up on the shore. One of the couples' wives was sitting in a beach chair, in the water, reading a book. The eagle came within 3 feet of her. He then flew back up into another tree and was gone. The sight was incredible and majestic. We saw the eagle one more time that week flying low, about 10 ft over the water, fishing for his next meal.
Parting was such sweet sorrow! ! !
