4th of July getaway

This house was perfect for me, my siblings, and our families! Very clean and a perfect beach area for grandkids that came for the day. The owner was very accommodating and respectful. Sent a message after our first night just to check in and see if we had everything we needed. I would highly recommend if you’re looking for a nice, relaxing getaway on the lake!

Amazing Lake Front Vacation

My parents, brother, sister came from out of state for my son’s wedding. The lake was great with a dock. The wading, swimming area was sandy and free of algae. We floated in the water, fished off the dock. Caught a lot of fun large mouth bass, blue gill, and a pike. House was open and wonderful for many people who came to visit them during their stay. There were loons, saw a few bald eagles, and a lot of ducks.

Amazing Lake Weekend

I highly recommend staying at this property! I booked this house for a girls weekend and it was perfect. The neighborhood is quiet but still close to a grocery store and several restaurants. The house itself is beautiful with an amazing view of the lake. Since we visited in the fall we did not swim but took advantage of the hot tub. The house is very clean with an ample amount of bath towels, very comfortable beds and bedding, and enough living room seating for everyone. The living space gets a lot of direct sunlight all afternoon keeping the house warm in the cool fall weather. I would definitely stay here again.

Weekend family vacation

The house and host were overall very good. Great communication and kitchen was very nice. Linens and beds were clean and comfy. Dock and hot tub were fun. Just be prepared to bring everything. Our only complaint is that the house was not stocked: no beach or water toys, no boat rentals, no board games/cards, no firewood, no charcoal for the grill, not even bug spray/fog (and there are tons of mosquitoes).
