Private Lay Lake Peninsula, 1000ft Shoreline, Boat Ramp, Pool, Docks, Sleeps 9
Stay at one of the only private peninsula properties on Lay Lake — with over 1,000 feet of shoreline, a pool, and your own boat ramp.
Water surrounds you on multiple sides. Properties like this are limited on Lay Lake — most rentals don’t offer this level of shoreline, access, amenities, and space in one location.”
Whether you’re planning a serious bass fishing trip or a relaxing family getaway, this property gives you the best of both.
🎣 For Fishing Groups
* Private concrete boat ramp (no waiting at public launches) * Accommodates 3-4 boats in the water (2 covered) * Parking for 4 trucks and trailers * Power for charging gear at boathouse and dock * 1000+ ft shoreline = multiple fishing spots * Multiple deep-water docks (no wake zone)
👉 Fish more. Hassle less. No waiting at public ramps, no hauling gear — just walk out, launch, and fish.
👨👩👧 For Families & Groups
* Pool overlooking the lake * 6 acres of nature reserve * Multiple fire pits for cozy evenings by the water * Multiple decks for stargazing and observing nature * Private, peaceful setting * Fenced in yard & gates at decks to help contain pets and children * Multiple docks in no wake zone
👉 Space, privacy, and real connection. Plenty of space for kids to play, swim, and explore — while you actually get to relax.”
Start your mornings with sunrise over the water, spend your days outdoors — fishing, swimming, or boating — and end the night around the fire under the stars.
This is where people come to slow down, reconnect, and make memories.
🛶 OUTDOOR HIGHLIGHTS * 6-acres w/ private peninsula * Over 1000+ feet of shoreline * Private boat ramp * 2-slip boathouse * Multiple docks in deep water * Lakeview pool * Fire pits + decks * Fenced yard (pet friendly)
