Lovely Lake House

We loved staying here! Best property instructions and information I’ve ever received from a host. We only needed to contact the host with a couple questions and they were quick responding. Lovely lake view, relaxing, clean, and fun! Our whole family enjoyed our weekend and would love to come back again next year!

Family Time on Big Lake

This property was awesome! We have stayed at many vacation rentals and this one was stocked the best by far...there was absolutely nothing we needed and so much to keep us entertained. Such an amazing location, private beach, right on the water. Could not have been better. We would absolutely rent this home again. Thank you Brown family!!

Great fishing

Really loved the property. Great fishing. Owners have definitely tried to think of everything to make their guests comfortable. Loved that they added steps down to the water!!!

Home is well maintained

The home. Is very well maintained, comfortable, cozy & exactly as it is pictured. Great size for a family or group of friends. Lake was very quite. Not sure if it was because of the late season. Only downside...if you have to do any sort of computer work while there, bring your own hot spot. Wifi is very "sketchy". Otherwise everything was lovely. You can tell the host takes great pride in their home and shows in all the details.

Great fishing, wonderful lake house

Really great fishing lake with plenty of room in the home for sleep and gathering. Loved the sunroom and the extra touches the owners had to make the stay more comfortable. Main con was no stairs down to the water, this would have made our stay much more enjoyable. Owner was super quick to respond to all messages and very kind. Would definitely stay again.
