The place was lovely and the view of the lake was awesome. We caught some nice catfish off the dock. The fire pit made the night warm and romantic. The game room was just right for some friendly pool, shuffleboard, and ping-pong Anyone would love this lovely Cozy place for a fun getaway. Can’t wait till next trip.

Perfect Family Getaway

Loved this lake house. Beautiful views, and lots of room to spread out. The kitchen was fabulous. And the living room with great views. The pictures didn’t do it justice. An unexpected bonus that wasn’t in the pictures was the beautiful front porch and huge lawn where the kids could run and play in the evening and catch fireflies. So peaceful. The dock was great too. We spent a lot of time in the water (warm!) with our water toys. We left with a lot of special memories and hope to return.

Wonderful vacation

We had a great time at this beautiful house, the house is well equipped and very comfortable. The game room was a hit for all ages. The walk down to the dock was made easier for bad knees by areas to sit and relax and the view of the water from the gazebo was perfect for watching family play! We highly recommend this rental!

Great family friendly lake house !!!

As empty nesters, it is a challenge to get the family together each year for our annual birthday bash. This lake house didn’t disappoint. There was ample room for our adult children and their significant others with everyone having an actual bed to sleep in and not a bunk bed 😉. Loved the openness of the living, kitchen and dining area, which allowed us to all be able to hang out together. The large island was fabulous for the breakfast and dinner buffets and loved the nostalgic can opener. We had one small issue but the owner was very responsive and it was resolved immediately. The view of the lake was amazing, which definitely ranks this lake house as a five star. Thank you so much for opening up your beautiful lake home to our family.
