Second stay and we loved it!

After going the first time for my bachelor party, I loved it so much that I went again with my family! This place is definitely a great area to come when you want to take some time out by the lake over the summer! I would highly recommend coming here for a family trip. The owners are amazing and helped make our stay even better.

Loved everything about our Stay! Felt like being home

This place feels like if I had a lake house that it should be mine! Feels like home and so comfortable on all levels. Enjoyed being right on the lake and the views are wonderful. Having the paddle boards as an extra was the best, just walking out the of the house revery morning and evening for a relaxing float on the lake was my favorite.

Wonderful Experience at Retreat # 3

We stayed here eight nights and the house was amazing. The home was very clean when we arrived. Well stocked with amenities including wood burning fireplace, hot tub, hammock and kayaks. We had all our meals on the outside deck, which had a beautiful view of the lake.I have rented many homes throughout my years and Lori, the host, is the best. Always got right back to me when I reached out to her. The whole process was exceptional organized and communicated in a timely manor.

Lakefront views are the best of any of the dozen or so homes we’ve stayed. Owners are very helpful.

From the time I reserved until after we left the owners were awesome. House is beautiful and has the best views of the lake.

Absolutely Amazing Stay!

Lori and Dave were incredible hosts—responsive, thoughtful, and welcoming. The cabin was absolutely immaculate and stocked with everything you could possibly need. This is by far the most impressive rental I’ve ever stayed at. The kitchen was fully equipped, which made it so easy to cook without having to improvise or bring extra gear. Communication was top-notch before, during, and even after our stay. We loved it so much, we’ve already booked our return trip!

Beautiful Property

This was an amazing property to share with family. The location is amazing. I would recommend, however, the home could use a little more deep cleaning. I would use the property again.

Thank you Jamie for your kind words. We appreciated your ease of communication and your understanding of the conditions that impacted the lake level due to our CA drought. We take pride in setting clear expectations for our guests, and were happy to hear you had such a wonderful experience during your stay with us. We hope our winter brings much needed rain, so you consider returning next summer!
