Welcome to our fantastic lake get-away. Nestled in the quaint community of Kingsley Lake, this is your home-away-from-home. The main house is three bedrooms and two baths with sofa beds and a sunroom with daybeds. Covered walkways will guide you to the cottage that sleeps 3 with a full bath. Everything has been fully renovated in 2013 and is completely modernized but still has the lake-life feel to engulf and totally relax you. In the house, just some of the things you will enjoy are Sleep Number Beds, 5 HD Direct TVs, WiFi, a deep-seated copper tub and true hardwood floors throughout. Enjoy fishing and boating year round, or just simply lounge in the hammock or porch gazing at the lake. Relax at several different sitting spots in the gardens surrounding the house to watch the Bald Eagles that are perching year round. If you are the fisherman, remember that over 14 lb largemouth bass have been caught in Kingsley Lake the last two years in a row. Bottom-line, must see the attached pictures to fully understand the beauty of this property.
The vacation home is air-conditioned and features a kitchen, 3 bathrooms, and a patio. There's space to spread out with 4 bedrooms and a dining area. Guests can expect to find a Smart TV with a DVD player. Other standard amenities include a washing machine, a fireplace, and a coffee maker.

WONDERFUL!!
Our family enjoyed 10 days at this beautiful home. Some in our group have vacationed on Kingsley Lake for over 60 years and it never disappoints! The Strickland's place made this year especially wonderful! This is not a "property" it is truly a home and you can relax just as if you are in your own! Everything you need to cook for a large family is there in the big kitchen with ample space for everyone to work or just hang out together! It is an easy walk to the water and there are stairs into the lake, not just a ladder! You will find everything is just like the pictures and the landscaping is beautiful! We DID catch fish right from the dock - even our five year old! We skied, wake surfed, tubed, floated, visited and had what everyone (ages: 5, 11, 12, 17, 18, 19, 35 37, 39, 39, 48, 52, 68, and 70) agreed was THE BEST! Thank you!

Lake vacation
We had a fantastic stay at Dawn’s property. We have stayed in a few houses at Kingsley lake but this one has by far been our favorite. The home is exactly how it is listed. It is very clean and well appointed and set up perfectly for a family to vacation together. Everyone in our group is looking forward to staying again next year!

Family Gathering
Clean, inviting, homey and just plain a great place to spend our days enjoying the surroundings. All that we needed was provided. Didn't catch any fish but enjoyed the many boat rides. We enjoyed much food and played many games on the long table. A great time was had by all.

Another Great Stay at This Home on Kingsley Lake
This is our third stay at this home. We love the layout and the lake house feel. It is always clean. The dock is as good as they come with plenty of room under the cover of shade. Dawn is very accessible to answer any questions. We will be back.
