The photos were deceiving, there are small cottages all around you. A truck that starts at 530 am very loud right next door. The photos looked like you were secluded which is what we wanted.

Very convenient amenities. Lot’s of things to do, great choice of games. The yard was very spacious, fire pit was great for cooking Hobo-pies. The dock was great for docking the pontoon we rented. The house was spacious enough for all of us to hang out and be comfortable. The greatest thing was that we could just stay at the house the whole time. We brought groceries, cooked our meals and just had a great family time.

The house was the perfect location for our 10th women’s weekend. If we had better weather, it would have been our best house yet. Easy access to the clean lake with a huge yard but we entertained ourselves with many of their games on our cold and rainy weekend! Cute and clean remodeled house with great communication.

We live in the area and were looking for a staycation and this property was perfect for our needs! My communications with the owners were very helpful and kind. The extras available in the form of the zip line and the kayaks were a big hit with our kids. We are exhausted from a week of fun at the lake!

We rented this space to gather as a family. I am not sure where to start as this property is everting we hoped for and more! I have been searching years to find the perfect location. The search is over!!!! Everything was as described. Kitchen has evening you would want! Adequate number of towels, kayaks and paddle boards, fire pit and a big hit was the zip line and hammocks! We have already decided this is our annual destination! Owner was super kind, responsive and accommodating!

Beautiful lake house

Our group enjoyed this beautiful lake home for a long weekend. We were a group of 3 families including 6 teenagers. The layout of the house was perfect for us with the 2nd floor bedrooms holding all the kids and one couple. The main bedroom on the 1st floor was spacious with an extra sitting area. The yard is huge with lots of water frontage and a nice dock for our pontoon. We enjoyed our coffee in the morning sun each day on the back deck. The house was very clean, check in and out instructions were easy to follow and owner communication was great. Would definitely stay here again.

Perfect family getaway

Property was exactly as described. Perfect location on the lake. Dock access and gradual water access made it a breeze to play just off shore or boat with easy. Our host responded right away when we had questions. Property was clean and felt like home away from home. We couldn’t have had a better experience here.

Room for the whole family at this relaxing beach home

Beautiful home. Loved the beachy decor. Very clean. Comfortable beds with good linens. Well-stocked kitchen. We cooked every meal there as we did not want to leave. Even had serving dishes. Quiet and relaxing yard/deck/beach with beach/lake toys free to use. Our family had a great time and we hope to be back!
