What a wonderful home! It was exactly as described and met all our needs perfectly. Clean and well stocked with a beautiful view and an easy walk to and from the dock in a calm, secluded cove. We had a great time fishing, swimming, and floating in the lake enjoying the deer that came to visit every day. Loved having our coffee and tea on the screened porch every morning. Hopefully we can stay here again in the future!

This is an excellent property, in a great location. The house was spotless and was the perfect space for my family. We loved the arcade games in the basement and loved the dock, where we spent most of our time. The host was very responsive and we look forward to staying here again in the future.

We loved our stay at this property. The house was beautiful. The decor inside had a beachy feel even though it’s at the lake. I loved that. The back yard covered dock was perfect for relaxing, swimming and fishing. We rented a pontoon boat and 2 jet skiis from the marina that was very close. We will definitely try to book this property again in the future. T & M Nupen :)
