Amazing house and property! Right on the water with private dock and beach. The house itself is so nice and has everything you could possibly need during your stay. The owners have clearly but a lot of thought into this property and have created a perfect lake getaway. We cannot wait to come back and stay again!

Very Relaxing Stay

My wife is originally from Centralia and we wanted to visit some family and friends. This was perfect, so much better than any hotel stay. We turned our visit into a mini vacation for the kids. Wonderful time with fishing, camp fires, and looking at the stars. Took a trip down to Garden of the Gods while we were there too! We'd come back for sure!

Delightful Beachfront Stay

We greatly enjoyed our stay and had some fun and relaxing time with our family and friends. We especially enjoyed the beach area, dock, and fishing. A paddle boat, canoe, and two kayaks were also provided. It was a very safe and comfortable vacation spot.

Lovely House

Very nice house with everything you need. Very clean and comfortable. We really enjoyed the beach. Only thing I would suggest is a couple of lounge chairs for the patio would be nice. The area is nice and peaceful. I would highly recommend Barefoot Beach House.

Great place

This place was borderline perfect. Every detail was thought of by the owners. (Everything from the kids table and chairs to the indoor/outdoor speakers) We were surprised to see the oil diggers next to the property but luckily they didn’t create as much noise as expected. We would definitely stay here again.

Communication was great throughout. House was exactly as advertised. Quite place with awesome beach for kids and dogs. There were 2 pump jacks for gas and oil on the next property and our 2yr old grandson was fascinated, the noise was minimal. Would stay again next summer no doubt. Thanks for a great vacation.

About the host

Hosted by Jake and Krista Parrett

Host profile image
My wife and I purchased the property in 2002. After returning from working in Alaska. We built our home from October of 2009 to June of 2010. We designed and built the home with the help of family and friends over the course of a year.

Why they chose this property

We grew up on Lake Centralia and have many memories of the area. Lake friends used to own this lot and cabin. We purchased the cabin and lot in 2002 and built this house in 2010.
