Celebrating
Came for the weekend to celebrate a birthday and anniversary. Totally enjoyed the peacefulness and the views from the glider on the dock. The house is so cozy and comfortable. Beautifully decorated with lots of special touches.
Absolutely perfect lake house property and house. Plenty of amenities and don’t need to bring anything from home. Accurately depicted in pictures and details. Will definitely return next year.

Southside of Heaven Lake House
The Lake House was the perfect place for us to gather as a family. The house was so welcoming, charming and comfortable. Not to mention the lake views were awesome! Although we brought more than enough food to cookout, there are stores nearby if we were to need any groceries. Every night was spent by the fire pit. And the hot tub is an added bonus with the awesome lake views. We could not have picked a better place!
Everything was great aside from the beds not being as comfortable as you hoped for in such a beautiful place. They thought of everything! The owners are very generous in providing just about everything other than food. Which of course is up to us to bring. I definitely recommend this place!
