Extended Lake Weekend

This property was absolutely gorgeous!! We enjoyed swimming off of the dock and actually rented a jet ski and tube which the kids loved. The property was clean and well equipped for a family of four (9 & 15). Pat and Mary were very welcoming and accommodated a last minute additional day. We saw deer every morning while sipping coffee on the upper dock. There is a dollar general a couple of miles away for any must haves. We really have no complaints. Thanks Pat and Mary.The Bethea FamilyRusty, Lorrie, Price, and Eden(who also loved the cats)

We've stayed here before and really liked it. The comfort of the house, the beautiful lake setting and the proximity to our plans for the weekend made it ideal. We are returning once again this fall and we hope more times in the future.
