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.
