This was a really great rental that we would definitely love to return to. The view is amazing, and it’s the perfect size for a couple enjoying some time away. There’s a huge wraparound porch and there’s always some part of it that’s shaded throughout the day, which is great. Location-wise, it couldn’t be better, just a 12-minute walk to the Main Street with restaurants and shops (as well as some restaurants and shops along the way on the walk). We had a wonderful time.

We stayed here to celebrate our 33rd wedding anniversary. Lakeside bliss is the perfect way to describe this cozy home with an incredible view. The house was very clean and bright, and in addition to the gorgeous view of the lake, we were entertained by the wildlife in the area. Thank you for a wonderful stay, we will be back!

We celebrated our wedding anniversary at Lakeside Bliss this weekend and it was perfect! The location was ideal, close to everything yet secluded enough to be away and enjoy the silence. We played games, road bikes and explored town, enjoyed the breathtaking lake view from comfortable seating, stopped by the casinos to eat and gamble, and so much more. We couldn't have had a better experience. The host was attentive, responsive, and went above and beyond to make sure we had a wonderful weekend. The house was also full of so much life and detail in every little corner. We will definitely be returning in the future. Highly recommend this adorable little lake house.

Best VRBO stay everLakeside Bliss is a wonderful rental. The lake view is stunning as seen from the wraparound deck or from inside from the living room and bedroom sliders. To wake each day and look out at that serene view was amazing. The property is accented with lovely gardens. A quiet and peaceful neighborhood which added to the relaxing experience. The house is the cleanest we have ever experienced in a rental property. The house had many upgrades, was beautifully decorated as well as included thoughtful additions to ensure a perfect stay. Katie our host was so helpful and great to talk to. We loved it - we’ll be back!

This was a very relaxing, peaceful location in a well appointed and clean rental with a very responsive, kind, and accommodating host. And the property was even larger inside than it looked in the photos, which is usually not the case. All in all a very positive experience and if we are in the area again, we will definitely return!
