The lake view from this property cannot be beat. We enjoyed gorgeous sunsets every night from the dock and we loved having access to kayaks and paddleboards for morning lake adventures. The kitchen has everything you need and the house has two refrigerators if you have a large group. Plenty of space to spread out and the location is excellent.

The house is very comfortable. Having 4 bedrooms and 2 baths was great for our family. The deck on the house was a wonderful place to hang our and to watch the sunsets.

Colorado family

We lucked out with the weather the second half of the week and the water toys and dock were great for getting in and on the water and doing a little fishing. The bedrooms were nice and the kitchen had everything we needed to make meals.

Long weekend on the lake

Everything was great! Location, plenty of beds, and access to the lake. Awesome that the owners made accommodations to let us tie our boat and jet skis up to the dock. Highly recommend!!

Great Place to Relax

Our entire family enjoyed the variety of activities in and on your property as well as in the area. The young children loved the panfish fishing from the boat and also from the dock. Others liked the paddleboards. A great house for a family. Very quiet location! Great yard space.

June on Lake Darling

We were three generations of family with a long history growing up on and visiting the chain. We really enjoyed this Darling house. It was very comfortable, supplied everything we could need and the lake access was great. The water toys were used alot and we have several new water skiiers in the clan now.

Lake House

The stay was ok; we thought it could have been cleaner. All of the reviews said it was very clean; I felt that was misleading. We enjoyed the deck, and the AC worked great. Kitchen was well stocked/supplied. Thank you for having us.

Thank you for letting me know - if you can be specific about what you felt wasn’t clean, I will certainly have a talk with my cleaner and find out what happened. We do take pride in how clean our place normally is so I apologize for any inconvenience this caused!

Family lake house in great location!

We stayed for a few nights with family & friends (8 of us) This is a clean, comfortable home that is a little older, but the owners have been doing some nice renovations. Other pros: 2 refrigerators, comfy beds, lots of towels, nice neighbors. The yard is big & well kept and there is a beautiful lake view. We had a great time using their paddle boards & kayaks. This home is close to stores, restaurants, & downtown. Melissa provided great communication and was very responsive to any of our questions.

My son's 22nd bday

Every year my son and his friends try to find a lake place for a few days to go fishing, swimming, boating etc. I cook up a storm and we just enjoy the time together. This year was the best one because the lake was so clean and not weedy at all. We had a decent fishing boat and rented jetskis! Super fun! Also the biking was perfect. Biking trails everywhere!
