This was a rental that went above and beyond expectations!! It was truly more than we expected!! From the detailed guest book to fishing and fun opportunities on the lake, there is no reason why anyone wouldn’t enjoy their stay here!! If we owned a rental property, I would hope that we could do as well!! Thank you!!

Perfect getaway!
We had a FANTASTIC experience booking with Jen, and the property was amazing. There were such great views and outdoor space that we enjoyed each day of our trip. The cottage inside was also perfect for our group. Inside the cottage included a spacious kitchen and dining area, a very comfortable living room (with a pullout couch), and two great bedrooms upstairs. The bathrooms were spacious and clean. All around, this was a great space for our weekend getaway, and we all left saying we can’t wait to come back and stay at the cottage again!

Loved everything!!
My mom and I enjoyed some girl-time. We had long days of travel to get to the house, and were so pleasantly surprised when we got there. Absolutely adorable and perfect for us to spend time watching movies, enjoying the sunset on the porch, coffee on the front porch and visiting. We were so comfortable in every way.
The hosts went above and beyond for us, even had fresh florals to greet us.
The house was seasonally and tastefully decorated and they thought of every detail. They were very accommodating when our flights got changed and let us stay longer than normal check-out.
We loved our getaway.
Highly recommend!!!!

Peaceful lake retreat
I found Jen's place when I was looking for a lake rental for my husband's birthday weekend. When we arrived, Jen had left birthday cupcakes and a candle on the counter. What a lovely surprise! No problems from booking to check out. We have stayed at 20 or more rentals from coast to coast and this was the nicest. We had everything we needed. It is beautifully furnished and decorated. We felt at home the second we walked in. It is THE CLEANEST rental we have ever had. Great outdoor seating options. The view is amazing!! Our stay was so relaxing and quiet. We also spent some time downtown Lexington. Starting at Red Donuts. They have perhaps the best donuts I have ever eaten. We visited several quaint shops. Everyone was so friendly. The Candy Factory was so fun! We were a big hit with the grandkids when we got home. We will definitely be back. Don't hesitate to hit the "Reserve Now" button, you will NOT be disappointed.

Perfect Lake Getaway!
Wonderfully modern, yet with the cottage feel we wanted. Many extra touches by the owner made us feel like we were her special guests.
Checkin-out was easy, plenty of parking spaces.
We brought our kayaks and there was space under the deck to store them and easy to put in at the dock.
Loved the spacious screened in porch and also options for sitting on the decks.
We look forward to staying again!
