Rich with history and full of fun, this Orange, lake retreat is the perfect place to put down your roots on your next family vacation. Lake life can be enjoyed every day right from the comfort of your stay as you swim, fish off the private dock, and gather by the firepit come nightfall.
Inside your retreat, discover ample living quarters and efficient amenities. The main living area features a sprawling sofa, perfect for your family to gather on as they tune into a movie marathon on the adjacent large TV. And the kitchen boasts a dishwasher, a breakfast bar, and ample counter space. When meals are ready to be enjoyed, dine with a view on the scenic deck, or for more formal meals, at the dining room table. When you want to escalate your cooking and try something new, a gas grill awaits your use on the backyard patio.

Bach Weekend
We had a great time at the house. It was very clean, had a fire pit, grill, and dock to sit on. The management was very responsive, we had issues getting in the first day and called the management team and they were able to assist us immediately. The space is very comfortable with big cozy couches and a massive kitchen. 10/10

Love this clean house
We really enjoyed this clean and comfortable house and left this as clean as this was.Only the cabinets with cook pots/containers/pans etc were unorganized. Most of them are damaged/scratches or with not matching covers which need to be trashed and replaced. Most of them seem useless- there were too many of them.Otherwise everything was perfect and enjoyed this house.Thanks!

Not the nicest for the price
1. Location: lovely view, inaccessible lake
2. House: adequate
3. Condition of house: poor
4. Management company: poor
We were so looking forward to being together as a family and enjoying early fall on the lake. A couple of days beforehand we learned of a toxic algal bloom on the lake. The management company did not inform us of this prior to our stay and the “local manager” did not contact us when we asked for additional information. We decided to go anyway and give it a chance. The algal bloom did not affect the view. But, we could not fully enjoy the property as that section of the lake was closed.
The house was adequate. Enough furnished rooms, bathrooms, and parking to accommodate our needs. However, the accommodations were not overly comfortable. They provided 1 set of thin, scratchy towels per bed; stained, scented bed linens; and 1 extra blanket.
The overall condition of the house was lacking. Several pieces of indoor (dining room chairs, chests of drawers, vanity, shades, windows) and outdoor furniture (umbrella, couches) were broken or appeared broken. The kitchen was unorganized and we found dirty plates, glasses, pots, and pans in the cabinets. The bathroom tile was dirty. There was a hole in the stairwell.
The comfort of our stay was further reduced by general inconveniences. The coffee pot didn’t work properly. We had to go out and buy paper towels, toliet paper, dishwasher soap, and garbage bags because an inadequate supply was provided.

Great stay
Good value house for big group on the water. We loved that they had kayaks and a canoe that we could use. The view was great from the deck and we loved the fire pit.

Great stay!
Pictures don’t do this place justice! The cove is a nice retreat from the typical weekend traffic on the lake. House was perfect for our family. Only recommendation to renters (just because we forgot this!) is to bring chairs for sitting on the dock during the day. Would absolutely stay here again 😀
