Amazing Amenities
This rental was amazing for our needs. We were in town for a family wedding, and the location was great. The view was very enjoyable. And the owners were very accommodating to our special needs. This was the best stocked VRBO we’ve ever stayed in! The coffee bar was so nice, the extra toiletries Were very thoughtful, and we had plenty of towels and bedding. I would recommend this to anyone who needs to stay in this area.

Great little getaway.
As advertised. Did a little Spring weekend and had a blast. The game room was a big hit! Cozy clean, and calming. Scott was awesome and responsive. We will definitely come back to enjoy the lake in warmer weather. 5/5

Relaxing, quiet, entraining
It was definitely a “home away from home”. The garage was perfect for any night owls or for kiddos to get some energy out. It was also a great space to celebrate my brothers graduation from Teen Challenge. No complaints at all. We can’t wait to book again this summer to enjoy the outdoor amenities

Beautiful cabin for a weekend getaway
We stayed for a long weekend with the family. The cabin was very clean, stocked with plenty of amenities, and had a beautiful view of the lake. We thoroughly enjoyed our time there, our kids really enjoyed the game room, and overall we had a wonderful experience. We would definitely stay there again!

We'll definitely be back!
We had an amazing stay and couldn’t have asked for a better experience! The house was clean and absolutely adorable—such a charming place! The property was well maintained and stunning, making for a great getaway. We loved everything it had to offer, from the fun-filled game room to the stunning views. Coffee in the morning was the best! The location was perfect, too. Lots to do in the area! We’re already planning our next visit—but next time for a longer stay! Scott was incredibly kind, with excellent communication and quick response times. Having stayed at several VRBO properties, I can confidently say this one is at the top of the list. Don’t hesitate to book—this place is perfect!
