We loved our stay! The house layout was perfect for our group and the view was gorgeous! We couldn’t think of a house with a better view on the lake than this one. The whole experience was so peaceful and serene and just what we needed. The house itself was clean and organized with everything we needed. We rented a boat so the private dock was perfect and my kids loved swimming and going on the rope swing. The host was also super attentive and helpful. We truly enjoyed our weekend and will definitely be back to stay.

How do I start? Wow! This home and location are wonderful! As soon as you walk in you can see the outdoors through the back windows that lead to the spacious porch overlooking the private dock and beautiful lake view! The home has a wonderful layout for families with spacious kitchen and living areas. The bedrooms were all comfortable and clean. I love the design of the home! We also enjoyed walking the neighborhood. The dock is set up perfectly for lake fun! Early morning coffee was best in the back porch and one morning even saw a flock of ducks flying just above the water! It’s such a beautiful location and home! The owners were very thoughtful of our needs in wanting everything to be nice and comfortable and clean! Very clean home! The family is excited to visit again!
