Welcome basket was a sweet personal touch! Cute house and adorable lake vibes, great and easy communication with property manager, you have to take a trail to lake not lakefront property. Kids LOVED the loft!

Lake Life

We had a great stay. The lake was awesome and we were able to go boating, tubing, kayaking, ping pong tournaments, fishing and more. The house had everything you would need. Although it would have been nice if they provided lake towels. Highly recommend this listing and location.

Cozy stay

We spent a long weekend at this cozy lake house. We love it as it is well located in a secluded neighborhood with a secluded dock. Beautifully appointed and a great living space. Our only comment is that they should provide lake towels but other than that amazing experience!

Amazing family vacation.

We had an incredible stay! The house was absolutely perfect for our group—the layout was spacious and comfortable, making it easy for everyone to relax and enjoy. The welcome basket was such a thoughtful touch and made us feel right at home from the start.Hen was very communicative and helpful throughout our stay, which made everything seamless. The location was fantastic—close enough to everything we wanted to do. We went white water rafting and zip lining, both within an hour’s drive, and had an absolute blast.Highly recommend this spot for anyone looking for a fun, easy getaway in the area!

Loved this lake house. The kids are even asking to go back! It’s great for families and the kids will especially love the loft or “eagles nest” that my boys re named it. Lots of places to explore and the property felt private. We used the dock and loved using the included kayak. There was an amenity that wasn’t available during our stay, but the host was very responsive and worked with us. Overall, we enjoyed the lake house and had a great experience. Beautiful in the fall.
