Best Lake Vacation!
This place is exceptional! My family and I travel fairly frequently and accommodations vary from place to place. I don’t often stay in vacation rentals because I have trust issues. Ha! (But for real) If you’re like me and are thinking, I don’t know, is it as nice as it looks? The answer is nicer. The pictures honestly don’t do this place justice. The lake is so clear and beautiful. The views are breathtaking. But, despite all that, it’s not why I loved this place. Look, I like to be comfortable. I like having all the things I have at home to make cooking, serving, cleaning, and entertaining as easy as possible. I also want to sleep well and not get the heebie jeebies from ANYTHING. Check, check, check. They honestly have thought of everything to make you feel at home and it’s super clean and the beds and linens are super comfortable. As for my kids (7yo girl and 13yo boy), they had a blast. They have paddle boards, kayaks, the doc with a ladder and some stairs going down into the water too. Bring some water shoes for wading or hanging out by the dock bc the bottom is rocky which is nice bc it’s not muddy and slimy, but it can be rough on your toes. The lake is calm a lot of the time, but there are times when it has lots of people boating, skiing and jet skiing. Fun to watch and to participate in! I hope you have as much fun as we did!!
