The Boathouse at Evans Lake

Welcome to the stunning Boathouse at Evans Lake! Originally built as a boathouse, this luxurious and spacious Lakefront home has been completely renovated with premium amenities and tasteful décor, offering an unforgettable vacation experience for you and your group.

The bedrooms are beautifully appointed and comfortable, providing a peaceful retreat after a long day on the water.

The highlight of this property is undoubtedly its prime location on Evans Lake, a beautiful all-sports lake covering 201 acres. You'll have access to endless aquatic fun, from swimming and fishing to kayaking and boating. For an extra special experience, a large 24' pontoon boat is available to rent, perfect for large groups and allowing you to explore the lake at your own leisure.

We also offer our guests some complimentary outdoor amenities, including 4 kayaks and 2 paddle boards, perfect for exploring the lake and enjoying some exercise. The game room is sure to be a hit with guests of all ages, featuring a professional ping pong table and a variety of arcade games (Pac Man & NFL Blitz).

Beautiful Lakehouse

The Evans Lake Boathouse is a spectacular stay. Evans Lake itself is a great private sports lake. Fishing, swimming, boating, tubing, and skiing are among the many things to do. The house is nice and roomy and has a beautiful view of the lake. The sandy beach and docks have a great beachy feel. We would 100% stay here again.

Beautiful Location, Amazing House, Great Communication

Couldn't have asked for a better place to have a retreat, the house was immaculate with plenty of space for hosting a big group and the views of the lake were unbeatable. The host, Bill, was very helpful and communicative before, during, and after our stay.
