Great relaxing time in a beautiful lake front house.

The house was very clean and comfortable. Loved the 3 sofas in the living room. The sunsets were unbelievable and it was fun to watch the rain storm move across the lake. The owner was quick to respond to our calls and texts. We will definitely be back.

Wonderful Stay at Sunset Shores!

This was one of our best VRBO experiences. Anders was super helpful throughout our trip planning and during our stay., and often went "above and beyond" to make sure we had a great time. The house is very well laid out and right on the shore of the lake, with amazing views and good access. We hope to come back again soon. Thanks, Anders!

EXCEPTIONAL Stay! GREAT HOST! We will be back!

My family and I stayed at this amazing lakefront home and we didn’t want to leave! Everything was there that we needed from towels to cleaning supplies, all amenities!We loved our stay in this peaceful home! We loved the comfy beds, the open floor plan, beautiful sunsets and it’s one of the best locations on the lake! Not to mention, phenomenal fishing right off shore in front of the home! The host was SO accommodating ! The friendliest host that I have experienced to date! Thank you so much for offering your home as a vacation rental! It provided instant vacation for us. We cant wait to come back!
