Our weekend at Amazing Sunsets was breathtaking. The sunsets, the sunrise, just the amazing lake view is awesome! We enjoyed so much time relaxing and fishing off of the dock. Plenty of sitting space around the table. Enjoyed boat fishing also, leaving from their boat dock. The house is so comfortable, equiped with everything needed to relax and enjoy family time. Our dog felt right at home inside and out. Don was so easy to communicate with. We want to return as we miss the lake view already!

Location of house on the lake was perfect. The dock house sold us on the rental and did not disappoint from the view to the shaded areas and tiki bar with fridge plus a closet filled with water toys, wonderful! We have already booked here for next summer!

The home was so quiet and peaceful. We stayed for a weekend, 3 adults and one teen. The house is very roomy, could easily accommodate a large group. The views were breathtaking. We enjoyed fishing, kayaking and swimming in the lake. We rented a boat for a day and everyone enjoyed that as well. We spent a lot of time on the dock which was awesome. Overall it was a relaxing weekend at a super nice house. Would definitely stay here again.

Great Accommodations

The house was very clean and in a quiet part of the lake. The owner worked with us on our check-in needs, which was much appreciated. The basement in particular is a very nice space and great to gather after a day in the sun.

We had a great time here. Brought our boat and tied up at the dock. The house is located in a protected area from the main lake and we had a great time hanging out on the water. House is well stocked with water toys, so be sure to check them out. Listing is as described and the house is well maintained. Definitely recommend.

We rented Awesome Sunsets as a central location for our extended family to celebrate Thanksgiving 2023. The property was immaculate and well appointed. Given that the main event was Thanksgiving, we were delighted to find 3 large refrigerator/freezers inside and another at the boat house.
