Fabulous
I book through VRBO a lot and this is one of the best. The view is stunning and the float house is incredibly well equipped. It has a huge deck on the water with kayaks, water toys, a covered dining table, a hot tub, even bathrobes. I’ll definitely book this beautiful place again for next summer!

Relaxing week at the lake
Very clean floating house with all the things to make it a relaxing week at the lake. Well stocked kitchen, lots of toys to swim and float right from the deck. It’s a quiet neighborhood and property manager is great with communication. We will definitely be back!

We all had an amazing time and stay here at your property. It’s a beautiful house we all enjoyed thoroughly. Everyone around the area was very friendly! We had 9 kids that got a little loud at times as it was
One’s birthday and we celebrated with our first experience of silverwood which was a short drive away and very exciting. Thank you for sharing your home with us! 5 star rating most certainly.
