Peaceful stay in a beautiful place

The house was great and exactly as advertised. Everything was clean and well supplied. The owners were easy to reach when needed. We had a great time kayaking and swimming in the lake. The highlight of the trip was definitely watching sunset over the lake in the hot tub. We hope for a return visit someday!

Weekend getaway

Husband and I took advantage of a weekend away before becoming parents to two girls! It was beautiful—house was amazing. Had all the comforts we could have asked for. Kitchen had a great supply to make any dish! Really enjoyed our time and look forward to bringing our girls back one day! Thank you Paul and Debbie for being amazing too, from showing us the boat lift to being readily available anytime for a question!

Perfect!

We stayed for 9 days at Sunset Paradise. The house was clean and cozy; perfect for both sets of grandparents, me, my sposue and our 2 teen boys. Lake-front accomodations were exactly what we wanted as we spent our days and nights swimming, kayaking, stand up paddleboarding, and boating. The outdoor space with the hot tub were amazing. The house has everything you might have forgotten for all ages. Debbie and Paul offered the option of extra water toys for rent that made our stay even more fun. Great communicafion and responsiveness from Debbie and Paul throughout our stay. Book and you won't regret it!
