Serenity!
We had a wonderful time at Eagles Peak celebrating our daughter’s birthday. All four of us enjoyed the tranquility, peacefulness, and beauty of the surroundings. We ate every meal alfresco, watched the sun rise each morning from the deck, and listened to the breeze and the rippling of the water from the dock each evening. Thank you for a lovely stay at your home!

A place to stay for a Butler wedding
We really enjoyed this cabin. The view was beautiful - watching the clouds move across the hills while sitting on the deck was so calming. In early May, it was a quiet retreat. We appreciated the equipment-stocked kitchen, the washer and dryer, and the comfy beds. Thanks so much for sharing your cabin with us! If we’re in the area again, we’ll hope to stay with you.

wonderful getaway vacation home
This place is secluded enough for privacy, yet close enough to lake activities. I love that the well stocked kitchen cabinets were all labeled and some were empty for our use. There were even plastic containers available for our use. There is a nice beach area about 1/2 hour away and marinas close by for boat rentals.

Just about Perfect!!
This is a great home! The owners have put in nice touches that make the stay easy, including Echo Dots in every room, a Bluetooth speaker system, and a fabulous hot ton over looking the lake. The deck with the covered area that includes the picnic table was a favorite spot. The management company was very prompt with communication and very helpful. It was great that the home came with a canoe and life jackets. Made us want to buy a lake house! The one and only challenge were the very steep steps to the dock from the road, and that the staircase was not well maintained. It’s a shared dock and access so presumably not the responsibility of the owner. Nonetheless, we had many hours of fishing and swimming from the dock and the canoe. Thank you for our best vacation ever!!

Eagle’s Peak
We enjoyed staying the house was amazing and the boys loved the Xbox in the kids room. Just wish they had more game options. Loved the gates blocking entrances and exits. The hot tub was wonderful! The driveway is steep and the truck was unable to make the turn at the top in one pass. The B Dock was under water along with the bottom of the stairs so we were unable to get to it on the first day. The stairs to the dock are steep and feeling soft. I would suggest making the dock floating so it doesn’t matter if the water level is high. The dock does need maintenance. The lake had a lot of trash. The fishing was good and we appreciate having access to canoes.

Great house and views- scary driveway.
First the listing is not clear regarding pet fees. There is a per pet AND per night fee. For our 4 nights it was an additional $300+ surprise. At the time of booking the listing only mentioned a pet fee of $35 and “standard pet fees apply”. I responded to the company’s email with my concerns and as of now the information has not been changed.
The house itself is great, lots of natural light, great view and that hot tub! The steep driveway made me a bit nervous but there were no issues- it’s a great workout to walk up and down. If you are traveling with someone who has mobility issues, please look closely at the photos. In addition to the steep driveway, the stairs to get to the dock are also very steep. We didn’t really use the dock but I did venture down to check it out.
