It was perfect!!!! My husband and I decided to take our kids and grandkids on a little trip. It was 8 adults and 3 kids. Perfect amount of space. We brought our pontoon that fit perfect under the boat dock. You can see the boat landing from the deck. So nice and quiet. We thoroughly enjoyed it, and hope to go back again!

Beautiful Lake Front Property!

We loved staying here. The home was big enough for our party of 12 ranging from ages 7 to age 85. The property was serene, the kids loved the kayaks, and my parents loved eating out on the porch watching the water. Thank you for such a lovely stay!

Family Lay Lake Vacay

We had not all been together for almost 6 yrs and Solitude on Lay Lake was the ideal place for us to spend time together, share and make memories. The home both indoor and outdoor was set up with many places to hang out, float in lake, go boating, play corn hole or play pool or just lounge on porch swings or at fire pit - we had a great time - Thank you, Solitude!

Loved the property

My family and I were there for 5 days for a car show and we rented this property. It was far more than we expected. Plenty of room, beautiful inside and out and plenty to do. We used the paddle boat, went fishing, had a smores cook out, bon fire, played pool, played cards and enjoyed the many swings. The house was loaded with items most VRBOs do not have like, garbage bags, condiments, good toilet paper, smores sticks, firewood, and propane for the gas grill. I highly recommend this home.

Gorgeous inside and out

I wanted to find a place that was in-between our children so everyone could be together for Christmas. The pictures did not do it justice. The home is simply perfect. The kitchen had all the appliances you need including a crockpot. Bathrooms for all the rooms. And the swing on the back porch was so nice to sit in and watch the water. They even decorated it for Christmas for us. The owners were amazing and had everything ready for you. It was the best relaxing Christmas we've had. Thank you for sharing your wonderful home!

Happy November stay.

We loved our time here. Wonderful setting. (Just a mention...stairs involved for daily access to water but a ramp available to access house from driveway.) Once inside the house was clean, the beds were super comfy, lots of space for everyone and the kitchen was central and nicely updated. Great deck with beautiful view out to the lake. The new boardwalk runs a good distance and will tempt you away from the house, maybe to fish. Owners care about their rental and are avail. We happily recommend this property.

We booked this property for our family for the 4th of July. Everything was fantastic. We had our boat with us so the docks, the marina and the boat ramp being so close was perfect. The owners were great, couldn’t have gone smoother. We will definitely be back.
