Best stay ever at any VRBO property!

The property was beautiful, spotless, and straight out of a magazine. Ever conceivable detail was taken care of. The kitchen was STOCKED. I could have hosted a dinner party for 50 guests without breaking a sweat. The kids enjoyed the flying disc, hula hoops, and giant chess set along with giant Jenga. The lake was relaxing and a great place just to chill out. There is not a hotel anywhere to rival the amenities and ambiance of this property. We will be back. I may chain myself to the front door and have to be forcibly removed next time!

Family wedding trip

We stayed five nights to attend wedding festivities for my daughter in Ohatchee. The home was exceptionally comfortable and within a few steps of the lake. The view is enough to enjoy a stay without ever leaving the property. Owners are amazing and easily accessible to answer questions. Check in and check out was “easy-peazy” as a wise woman said. I would go back if only to recharge and refresh. A fully stocked kitchen was dreamy for a cook.

I booked this charming lake house for my weekend reunion with my sister, my mother and my aunt. Even though it was raining outside, we truly had a great time. The lake view was beautiful. We enjoyed watching the birds and fishermen in their boats while we talked for hours on the back porch. We even spent a hour talking on the dock under the roof. We all slept well on the beds. We ate every meals in the kitchen without going out. The grill was super easy for me to use to cook the hamburgers. Every room was cozy and clean. If you look for a Southern home, this is the one. Our host Pam did a great job on spoiling us. We will come back for this lake house in the near future.

Perfect getaway!

Pam and Tom have created such a fantastic space. We felt right at home from the first step. Everything was extremely beautiful and clean and ready for us to enjoy. Adding in some treats in the fridge and the rest of the pantry was very thoughtful and made us feel so touched. Paddleboarding and kayaking in the river and just spending time in the backyard were our favorite ways to spend time there. There were so many small details that can't be listed, but totaled to an absolutely one-of-a-kind weekend. Thank you for opening your home to us and helping us create a lovely and memorable experience! We would definitely love to return someday!

Just book already- it’s Lake Paradise

We had the most magical time at this perfect lake house getaway. The entire home, inside and out has 99% of any of whatever “stay away from home” amenities you will need, like coffee to get your first day started, sound machines, Alexa’s if you want them, popcorn for the movie night w projector lake front, 3 different kinds of laundry soap for goodness sakes. Pam’s got you covered :) The home was so beautiful I was just worried my kids would ruin it lol they didn’t :) But seriously it looks and felt like out a home sweet home magazine. We spent most of the day outside on the dock fishing or paddle boarding. We also played chess on the giant chess board, relaxed Lake side in the hammock and explore it outside, made the most beautiful family memories. Pictures really do not do it justice! Thank you Pam and Tom for thinking of everything and for sharing your beautiful home with us. We truly were so blessed to have stayed here and hope to return soon.
