Start your day on the front porch watching the sun work its way through the morning fog. End your day watching the stars dance above the hills. What happens in between is entirely up to you! You can go boating, swimming, fishing, tubing, kayaking, skiing, or just sit on the porch and relax. FH2 has 2 Jet Ski ports.

A must rent

Mary is one of my favorite people to rent from. We ran into her at the marina when we were getting ready to launch the boat and she was so warm and welcoming. I will definitely be renting this house at least once a summer if not more!

Our Happy Place

This is our 3rd year staying here and every year gets better. Mary is absolutely the BEST and takes such great care of her guests. Our kids love swimming off the dock and the adults are Uber relaxed sitting on the deck overlooking the lake. It’s truly an amazing place that we look forward to every summer!!!

Wonderful Getaway

This is our 2nd year at FH2 and it never disappoints! Our kids, ages 6,7,8 and 10 LOVE swimming off the dock and are already asking when we are going back. It’s such a peaceful, relaxing setting with perfect view! And Mary is amazing! She is always available and very hands on. My kids often talk about Mary :) I would highly recommend!!

Great vacation spot

Our stay at the Floating Holiday was excellent. The house is as described in the listing. We had 2 family's, 8 total people and with the 4 bedroom, 2 baths, large living room and kitchen we had plenty of room. Being directly on the water was awesome, so easy to run back and forth with our boat to pick up/drop off riders. Mary was an excellent host, communicating before and during our stay to make sure we had everything we needed and that all was going well. We would not hesitate to stay in one of their homes again.

FH2 home

This property was perfect for our 3 night stay. Mary and Abbey were super accommodating and check in easy. The house had a good supply of kitchenware and supplies.. Plenty of space to dock our boat alongside the floating home. People surrounding us were all friendly.
