Beautiful home on the lake

We had a wonderful stay. My son loved the rope swing and the huge bean bag chair. The host is great and we are thankful they share their beautiful home on the lake. I loved relaxing on the swing with my coffee overlooking the lake

Enjoyed our stay

The home was beautiful and plenty of space. The hill down to the lake was a struggle. Thank goodness for the golf cart. The 3 dogs next door visit often. The boat traffic kept the fish from biting. Quiet and relaxing. Will stay again.

Great little lake house

We stayed here fr a long weekend. 7 of us total, 2 adults and 5 kids ages 4-13. The property was very clean and the hosts supplied everything we needed! Even snacks and some drinks in the fridge. The back porch and dock were great for everyone to enjoy. A perfect places to swim and fish but still close enough to go into town and explore the historic sites. Definitely the perfect family vacation house!

Charming lakeside retreat!

This property was everything we hoped for. It looked just like the pictures, was right on the water, and had all the amenities for a perfect home away from home: kayaks, water toys, full service kitchen with dishwasher, fire pit, even a golf cart! It was right on the lake, so water access from the dock was excellent. Nice quiet area. We even saw fireflies at dusk! Definitely recommend this for anyone looking to get away from it all.
