Our family has stayed in many rental properties throughout the years so we tried to take the best from each one and create our own to share with you. We focused on cleanliness, functionality, open flow with space for everyone and a kitchen stocked with everything you need to create amazing family meals. We are so excited to share our new space with you and hope you enjoy making the lasting memories together with your family & friends as much as we do!

Perfect Lake house!
We had an incredible stay for Labor Day Weekend! We had a group of 8 adults and the house had plenty of space for everyone to sleep comfortably. The garage is set up for games and hanging out and the back patio has a great firepit with plenty of firewood. Additionally, the lake is about a 2 minute walk from the house with it's own dock where we rented a boat that picked us up to and from. Lastly, Eric (the homeowner) was very communicative and quick to respond and made check-in/check-out very easy. Could not recommend this house anymore for your next stay!
