Beautiful home on a big lake

We enjoyed our family time at the sunshine retreat, there was ample room for everyone. Mike from the management company was very attentive to any needs and we were very appreciative of that. I didn’t anticipate the hill to walk up before walking up the stairs to the deck, so that got old after a few days. All in all it was great weather and another great family get together in the books. Thank you Sunshine Retreat.

Awesome Home

This home is beautiful! And so comfortable. The sunroom was perfect for morning coffee and evening card games. The kitchen was well equipped as were towels and linens for bedrooms and bathrooms. The primary suite on the first floor was spectacular! We did have to contact the property manager a couple of times and he answered us and resolved our minor issues within minutes. He was very easy to work with and very accomodating. If we stay in this area again, we will definitely stay here.

Lakeside elegance - Labor Day weekend 2022

This is by far the best VRBO we stayed at. It looks amazing in the pictures, but the pictures can't even begin to describe how beautiful the home and location are. The shed has all the toys you need for fun on the water. We rented a jet ski and belong to a boat club so we enjoyed the convenience of having the dock to tie up to. The sandbar provides a fun swimming experience also. The kitchen was stocked with everything you need whether cooking on the stove or grilling, and the kitchen utensils and knives are top quality. The morning view of the lake from the master bedroom windows will make you want to never leave.
