My family and I recently enjoyed a truly wonderful and tranquil weekend at the Private Lakefront Retreat, affectionately dubbed the Lakehouse by us. As soon as we drove down the driveway, we were captivated by the stunning home and the breathtaking view of the lake. The property itself was remarkable, both inside and out, offering a perfect blend of comfort and luxury. With a beautiful pool, a spacious dock, and the serene lake right at our doorstep, we felt like we were in paradise. From the very start, Ross was incredibly attentive, ensuring that all our needs were met and that we had everything we could possibly want for our stay.

Family Weekend

We stayed at this Lake House mid April and the weather was fantastic for siting outside on the couches by the pool. The pool table outside was a HIT. They added these solar pool floats meant to head the pool naturally and they WORK. The inside was amazing, kitchen came with everything we needed to make a few meals at the house instead of eating out all weekend. Beds were very comfortable. We will be looking to stay there again!

Peaceful but Accessible

This is a beautifully appointed house, with obvious attention to every detail a traveler may desire. It is in a peaceful, very private location, but so easily accessible to shopping and restaurants. The owner responded quickly to the couple questions we had. We had a fabulous week! Our family of 5 was very comfortable with room to spare.

Fresh Renovation - Great Pool

We really had a great time at this property. Our kids were in the pool constantly. The interior had a great renovation, large kitchen, etc. There were two primary bedrooms one master with large bath and one minor with a private bath which worked great for our group. Lake sunrises were a nice plus. Thanks!
