Great time at Awesome Sunsets

Location of house on the lake was perfect. The dock house sold us on the rental and did not disappoint from the view to the shaded areas and tiki bar with fridge plus a closet filled with water toys, wonderful! We have already booked here for next summer!

The home was so quiet and peaceful. We stayed for a weekend, 3 adults and one teen. The house is very roomy, could easily accommodate a large group. The views were breathtaking. We enjoyed fishing, kayaking and swimming in the lake. We rented a boat for a day and everyone enjoyed that as well. We spent a lot of time on the dock which was awesome. Overall it was a relaxing weekend at a super nice house. Would definitely stay here again.

Great Place, Nice Location on the Lake

We had a great time here. Brought our boat and tied up at the dock. The house is located in a protected area from the main lake and we had a great time hanging out on the water. House is well stocked with water toys, so be sure to check them out. Listing is as described and the house is well maintained. Definitely recommend.

Communication was great and check-in and out was very easy. We absolutely loved the lake view from the house and boat dock. The boat dock is lovely! No TV and the refrigerator didn't seem to be working but perhaps that was due to being off season. We didn't use the fire pit because of the weather but it was set up nicely with chairs and previous renters had left firewood. The kitchen is nicely equipped with 2 refrigerators (3rd refrigerator is in basement), plenty of dishes, and everything you need to prepare meals. The kids loved the arcade games and pool table downstairs which was great since the weather wasn't the best. We really enjoyed our stay and would definitely rent this house again.
