Relaxing Weekend

The property was incredible and very clean. It was very peaceful sitting on the porch, watching the sun set and listening to the ducks. I didn't have a boat but the dock and boat house are perfect for water access.

A relaxing getaway

We spent a relaxing week on the lake in a peaceful setting. The house is clean and comfortable. The view is terrific, especially at sunset. Hard to find a better place to read a good book than on the dock. Great food at the area restaurants. Debbie is a great host and always just a text away to answer any questions. We look forward to returning.

Peaceful cottage by the lake

Everything was clean and ready for our long weekend stay. The dock and the screen porch with jacuzzi were great places to hang out since it was rainy and cold the entire weekend. Beds were comfy and kitchen and bath were equipped with eveything we needed. We hope to return when the weather is warm! Thank you for a very relaxing stay!

We absolutely loved our stay here and will book again without a doubt, the owner was the best we came a day early and she even found us a place to stay that was cheaper than hotels. But this place is just amazing and beautiful and was so so peaceful. Just can’t say enough about it and anyone looking for a place this is it. Thank you so much for an awesome weekend!
