Amazing July 4th Getaway

Three generations of family stayed in this home for a long 4th of July weekend! The views are phenomenal, and you cannot beat the lake front access. My boys (ages 3 and 1) absolutely loved swimming all day! There isn’t a “beach” but it has a gradual sandy bottom making it fun and easy for kids that don’t want to jump off the dock. *fair warning for those with littles* - the deck & stairs are not exactly “child friendly” but we found ways to block the stairs. We enjoyed the gorgeous kitchen making breakfast every morning. There is a variety of games and toys for kids and adults alike. Neighborhood was adorable and neighbors were friendly. Would absolutely stay again! My kids are already asking to go back.

Quaint Private House on the Lake

This is a gem of a place that gives a lot to offer. Fishing, boating, swimming, sunsets, yard activity, lake roads for the kids and privacy. We love this place because of the lot layout. Flat and big with plenty of privacy. We were busy all day with the kids with activities. The house layout is simple and great. Lake views, kitchen and high ceilings. Management/owner was easy to get a hold of. Recommend this place.

Enjoyable stay!

The house worked out well for us to stay for the Thanksgiving holiday! We had plenty of sleeping arrangements and plenty of living space. The host was helpful and responsive when we had any questions. Internet at the house was slow and cell reception was non-existent for us but it was a great opportunity to disconnect for several days that we might not have done otherwise. We would definitely stay here again!

The Perfect Retreat!

This beautifully updated lake house accommodated our team of 5 easily. The views from the deck are fantastic. Watching the ducks, turtles, and fish jumping was an added bonus. Even in July, the mornings were cool and the deck was a comfortable place for coffee. Plenty of seating for all of us outside and in! The kitchen was fully stocked with all items we needed for meal prep. Would definitely go back!

Wonderful, Relaxing Vacation

The house was exactly as listed, except they forgot to mention the amazing water pressure in the showers. The house was clean, well-decorated, and very well-stocked. The house was great, and the deck and lake completed the relaxing, tranquil atmosphere. There was plenty of seating on the deck and the dock. My son enjoyed the kayaks, paddleboard, and canoe. He and my husband took the kayaks exploring the lake and fishing. The atmosphere was peaceful and relaxing. We spend a great deal of time outside. I’ve never seen so many stars in the sky. The host was great at communicating with us and answering my questions. This was a vacation full of opportunities to make wholesome memories.

Quiet, peaceful lake house!

This lake house was a perfect getaway for us this summer! Prior to viewing this area, I was worried the lake would be a little small and my (adult) kids wouldn’t have enough to do, but it was great! Because it’s a private lake, there were not many boats going by, which made the water calm. We enjoyed hanging out on the pier in the mornings and kayaking at sunset. The kitchen/living room has amazing views of the lake. I would love to come back someday!
