We have never stayed in this area on our "Penn St annual weekend" but I would come back to this property. We enjoyed the 2 living rooms: one for kids and one for adults. Plenty of bedrooms. We had a nice fire in the backyard. The one negative is the small kichen and cooking pans.Good host and good property.

Perfect Weekend Getaway

Our family had a wonderful stay at this home. It was very clean and well stocked! We loved the large front porch and how close it was to the lake! Bonita is extremely responsive & her and Yancy are so accommodating. We honestly couldn’t have asked for a better home or hosts! If you are looking for good food & great customer service, go right next door to Brother’s Pizza! Our family is already talking about making another visit! 100% would recommend!

Perfect Family Spot

This place was perfect for our growing family. It accommodated our adult children and grandchild as well as our teen boys. It was o my a mile from the boat launch and had space to park our boat. Yancy was very accommodating and responsive. We were able to bring our dogs. Overall a fantastic family house!
