Great house, perfect location

Unfortunately the weather didn’t cooperate with us during our stay so we were not able to fully take advantage of being on the lake and the amenities offered. We will definitely be back when we can enjoy the lake. The house was great, very clean and well cared for. We loved the location on the lake, it was very quiet which would be perfect for kayaking.

Short Summer Getaway

The lake house was a great place to relax and have fun before school resumes this week! The location right on the water is perfect. We rented a jet ski from the marina one day and had a blast and having the dock there was easy to tie up to and take a break. The kayaks, paddle board, and lily pad float that were available to use made playing on the water so much fun. The house was clean, spacious, and perfect for our family of 4. Communication with Vickey for check in-out was super easy.

Wonderful Weekend

We loved our weekend getaway on the lake. House was perfect. We are bird nerds so we loved seeing the heron and egrets across the way. We enjoyed taking the kayaks out and floating in the lake after a day of hiking. One of our favorite vacations.

Cozy and Beautiful

Very cozy house with many amenities, beautiful views and a great atmosphere. We spent most of our time in the water while at the house. Very friendly area and a friendly neighbor who we enjoyed chatting with. Beautiful spot on the lake. We especially loved the fire pit on the little beach by the dock. We had a fantastic weekend and definitely plan on coming back again!

Weekend Lake Getaway

We had a great weekend getaway at this property. The host is great to work with and the property was just as described. It’s a great location on the lake. She has kayaks, a lily pad, floats and other lake toys that are available for you to use if you like. We rented a pontoon and jet skis so we didn’t use them but it’s a nice touch having them available for guests to use. There’s a double slip boat dock which is great if you’re bringing your own boat or renting one or just to swim off of in the lake. It’s a nice quiet little neighborhood on a dead end road so there’s not a lot of traffic. The neighbors we met were all very nice and friendly. The house had everything you could need or want in the kitchen and extra linens and pillows. And more than that one “standard” roll of toilet paper!! 😂She provides little extras like soaps and makeup remover wipes which is a nice touch. The host goes out of her way to try to make your stay at her property the best it can be for you. We would definitely return to this lake and this property again. I’m ready to go back now!! Thanks for sharing your property with us!!

Best location

Everything about our say was perfect. One of the best spots on the lake with gorgeous views of the Shawnee Forest. Beds were comfy, house was clean, and great outdoor spaces including the patio, fire pit and dock. We enjoyed use of the kayaks and swam off the dock. Vickey was an excellent host and always in contact if we had questions!

Relaxing spring getaway, convenient to natural areas

We wanted a location that would allow us to explore the Giant City area, the Cypress Swamp, as well as the Garden of the Gods / Rim Rock preserves. Everything was within an hour and we had a blast. This house was very clean and cozy, which was great to return to after long days of exploring. Fishing off the dock was great, as was resting on the patio area. The kitchen was well-equipped and the bar was a nice space to eat breakfast while looking out at the lake. There were many games and movies for evening family fun. If you need to stay connected, the wifi is very reliable. The upstairs bedroom with winding staircase was appreciated by my daughter; she felt like she had her own apartment! This bedroom would not work well for a person with mobility issues. Vickey is a kind and responsive host; we would stay here again and recommend this home to others.
