The "bay" offers a safe swimming environment, being indented into the shoreline, feel comfortable and confident that your loved ones are safe from boat traffic. You will have access to a canoe, kayak and stand up paddle board to launch out on an adventure from the beach. It also has a great fire pit, perfect for stories and marsh mellow roasting.

The house was in a perfect location with excellent view of the lake and passing boats. It was equipped with everything you needed from the kitchen to the bathrooms. The upstairs screened in deck was perfect for our nights of gameplay, and our dogs could sit out there with us without fear of them going astray. The host/manager was the best. I have come across yet. quickly replying to my every question and concern, id say she went above and beyond. Although it did rain every day of our vacation, we did manage to get in the lake every day in between the rain. The outside had a very cute beach that the kids enjoyed and it was equipped with canoes and kayaks and lifejackets. I managed to catch the beautiful sunset from the dock our last night there. it was beautiful to watch. There are no cons to this rental property or host and I highly recommend and will be back.

We loved our stay at sweetwater. The house was very clean and had everything we needed for our stay. They had pots, pans, knives silverwear, utensils, towels paper products and even some fishing poles. We enjoyed renting the boat a few days.

The Lake House was accurately listed, and a Wonderful relaxing vacation home. The small beach area was great along with the fire pit, canoes and dock. Inside was very comfortable and well stocked with all the essentials. The neighborhood was safe and quiet. the hosts were easy to get in contact with. If we get an opportunity, we will definitely stay here again. It was everything you would imagine a Lake Cottage would be like.

Beautiful lake cabin

What a beautiful getaway! The cabin was spacious, cozy, and had everything we needed for a comfortable stay. The views of the lake were absolutely stunning, and we loved spending evenings by the fireplace—it added such a warm and relaxing touch. The beds were incredibly comfortable, ensuring a great night’s sleep after our days of exploring. We were also so grateful that the cabin is pet-friendly! It was wonderful to bring our furry companion along to enjoy the trip with us. This place truly felt like a home away from home, and we can’t wait to visit again. Highly recommend for anyone looking for a peaceful and scenic retreat!
