About this property

Lakefront Home w/ big yard and breathtaking views

This home is a great family and multi-couples retreat with plenty of room for activities. There is 120 ft of private lakefront with soft sandy beach within feet of the back door. No need to hike down a cliff to reach the beautiful lake. We have ample outdoor seating for dining and lounging while enjoying the great view of the lake. Feel free to bring your own boat, and enjoy the convenience of a dock in your backyard (The dock is removed October-April each year). The lake has wonderful fishing, even just from the dock, we have caught bass, northern pike, crappie, bluegill and more. A lot of neighbors even go ice fishing! We have a manual auger available for use 😁

We have a fully stocked kitchen, no need to buy new spices for the trip. The large dining table that seats 10, so you can enjoy a meal with the whole family. Relax with incredible views from the living room, which features a comfy Lay-Z Boy sectional and recliner. The two smart TVs come with complementary Netflix access and ability to login to other TV subscriptions you may have access to. There are two fireplaces in the home to enjoy a romantic evening, or to roast marshmallows if it's too cold outside. Firewood included!

All of the bedrooms are stocked with a variety of new mattresses with high-end linens. Make sure to be the first on-site so you can pick the mattress that fits you best ;) We have fans in every bedroom, for maximum comfort.

Available for use (April-October) - 3 complimentary kayaks, 4 adult bikes, a paddle boat, and an assortment of life jackets. Indemnification Agreement required before use.

Parking Notes: Parking for 6 cars in the driveway - no street parking - one garage is available for guest use, and ping pong!

Water Access: Private beach right outside your back door.

Security: The home is equipped with a security system which includes two outdoor cameras (with audio and video recording) and an alarm system. One camera is located over the garage and the other is facing the lake from the deck. Tampering with the cameras or any components of the security system will result in immediate cancellation with no refund. Please make sure you are comfortable with outdoor cameras before you book. We use these tools for safety and an occasional head count. Something to note, when you open doors and windows you might hear a beep. It could be helpful if you are concerned about kids walking outside without you noticing. This beep can be turned on or off depending on your preference, but the system should never be unplugged or removed.

Great location - something for everyone
We had a group of 10, ages 4 - 64, and we had plenty of room for our stay. The location on the water was great. There was a small sandy beach for the little ones to play, a dock to catch some bluegills from and a nice patio. We didn't have a boat on our stay but there is room at the dock for one. Everyone had a great time there, we hope to be back again!

Just an amazing place for family vacation on a picturesque lake.
My daughter in law comments: The house was very pretty and well cared for. I appreciated all the “extras” for kids (e.g. games, play kitchen, children’s books, etc) that made the house feel more homey. The beach, dock, and kayaks were especially enjoyed by both kids and adults alike. I just would add that a paddle boat was also great for lazily moving on the water. Great kitchen with all accessories, great beds and linen, spotless clean, great family room with large TV screen (60”?) and great stereo speakers. Super nice welcome brochure, plus Kellie is a great host. I had a lot of communication with her before the booking, afterwards and while we stayed there. Thanks Kellie. Should I mention that there is even a ping-pong table in the garage!

Gorgeous house
This house was even nicer in person than in the photos. Spacious, tastefully and beautifully decorated, and so comfortable, with a great outdoor fire pit and lakefront. Beach was so fun for our little grandson. Everything was perfect. We all had a wonderful time and hated to leave.

Wonderful stay and beautiful property
Could not rave enough about our experience. Kellie and John provide anything and everything you need - the house was so clean, beautifully decorated, with a perfect layout for a big group. You name it, it’s there - spices, kitchen equipment, kayaks, fans, even toys for the kids (big hit!) We brought our pontoon and the dock was perfect. The kids played in the front sandy beach and swim area from dawn to dusk and we all enjoyed a campfire at the end of the long but fun days. It helped that the weather was absolutely perfect the entire time! If you’re looking for a low-key, comfortable, stress-free lake getaway, this is the place!

About the host

Hosted by Kellie Vincent

Host profile image
My husband, John, and I bought our lake house in the midst of the pandemic after realizing we needed to take more time for ourselves and enjoy life. The home was outdated, so we spent 8 months painting and renovating to make it our own. Fun fact, the couch we custom ordered was 6 months late!

We think our home is so special, we actually got married at a lakefront property we rented and now that has become our thing.

We are active folk and enjoy fishing, kayaking and playing with our dog. We also love exploring new areas, and Clare is perfect for that! John is an engineer and I am a social worker, specializing runaway/homeless teens. We work hard and finally found our place for resetting ourselves and avoiding burnout. We hope you get the relaxation you and your family need!

Why they chose this property

We searched many lakes, big and small, but none had the charm and laid back vibes that Five Lakes had. Other lakes were dirty, very shallow, or too busy. We love our little lake! It's surprisingly clean, in many areas you can see the bottom of the lake by looking through the clear water.

We love the lake, our community, and our neighbors. Guests enjoy the view, free kayak use and the fully stocked kitchen.

What makes this property unique

We love walking out of the house and onto the beach. All the perks of being at the beach AND a clean bathroom!
