ALFORD’s Getaway is a beautiful home on a quiet cove which was perfect for our families mini vacation. The house was spotless and there’s alot of space in the bedrooms to spread out. The best part of the whole place is the view and the wonderful cove it sits in. We 100% recommend it if you are looking for a beautiful view and a deep cove to kayak and fish.

Great place!

This is our 4th time staying here! Perfect location. Love that each bedroom has its own bathroom. The dock is great place to tie up our boat and jet ski. Ate our meals on the porch. Enjoyed mourning walks in the neighborhood. Our family has made many memories here!

Amazing views. Ample space and plenty to keep us entertained. Overall, we had a great time. The kids didn't want to leave. Only cons were bringing your own linen (towels and sheets, etc) and taking your own trash.

Impeccably clean, very spacious, beautiful dock, and views!! The kitchen is completely stocked with everything needed, and the propane grill was brand new! We have owned two beautiful lakefront homes, so we are pretty picky about frontage, etc. and this home surpassed our expectations. So thoroughly enjoyed our time there!

Wonderful Home and Cove

Alford's Getaway is a beautiful home on a very nice cove. The kitchen is well-stocked and easy to move around in when there is more than one person cooking. The bedrooms and bathrooms are nice, very clean and give you privacy. The beds are comfortable. The cove is deep and the water clean. The dock is nice and great for sitting and relaxing. We had a great time!

This house has everything needed for a week away from home. It is one of the cleanest vacation houses we have stayed at. The covered back porch was my favorite part. Perfect for morning coffee or an evening cocktail. Our sons loved fishing off the dock every night. We would definitely come back.

Great property!

We really enjoyed our stay at Alford’s gateway. Location is pretty convenient. House was very clean, well equipped, the only think we wished for was Wi-Fi. But it didn’t take away from all 5 star review. The best thing was lake view and access. We will definitely consider renting it again. Thank you Betty for making it so welcoming!
