We stayed here for a family wedding we were attending in Melrose. The place was very clean and the hosts were VERY responsive throughout our stay! The dock out to the lake is so beautiful and relaxing. Perfect little weekend! Thank you Maggie and Micah.

Perfect Location

Although I was here for a family emergency and not a vacation, this place was perfect. The owners are very welcoming and communication was excellent. The house is nice and secluded with an amazing dock but close to both Melrose and Keystone Heights. The house and property have plenty of room for larger groups to spread out. Thank you Maggie and Micah!!!

Great get away at the lake.

The house is very spacious and has everything you need. It is very quit and we docked the boat a few hundred feet from the house. Santa Fe Lake is a beautiful Lake for fishing and boating. A nice deck on the back of the house has many types of grills, smokers, and coolers. The host met us at the beginning to show us around and were available for anything we might need. Other than that, we were left to do as we please. Very nice people. We will definitely come back for more relaxation.
