Perfect Getaway
We rented this house for our family to celebrate our son’s birthday. He loves to fish, so this was the perfect choice! We had 4 adults and 2 kids and there was more than enough room for all of us. The owners have provided everything you could need! The kitchen, bathrooms and bedrooms are completely stocked. Extra blankets, games, life jackets, even down to charging stations for our phones-they have thought of everything! The views are incredible-we had deer visit both in the mornings and evenings. The screened in porch was our favorite! Access to the lake is right in the front yard. We fished from the dock but had also rented a boat, which the owners let us tie up to their dock overnight. I cannot say enough good things about the house, the property and the owners. The owner was easy to contact and was very responsive. 10/10 and highly recommend.

Awesome lake home.
Great property for a family fishing trip! Lake front with private boat ramp just down the street. You will need to be proficient with backing a trailer if you bring a boat but not that much of an issue for us. Very nice home the pictures of the property are correct with what we found. Overall great experience.
