Perfect family vacation cabin

Our family of 11 had the best time at Tim’s home. Plenty of space for all of us, kitchen had everything we needed to cook and grill, comfortable beds, lots of outdoor areas to relax on with beautiful views of the sunrise. Easy to communicate with Tim. We tied our pontoon to his dock and used his lilypad and kayaks. Great place!

Memorial Day Weekend

We loved the property. The home was very well done and recently renovated. The downstairs area had 2 pull out sofas with a huge TV with speakers everywhere which was great for the young adults. The master bedroom had beautiful views. The property had a wonderful fire pit where we all gathered each evening. There were lots of outdoor spaces with seating to enjoy also. Tim was easy to contact and responded to our questions quickly.

Incredible view

Absolutely beautiful! Just got back from a long weekend stay with family and friends. The house is more spacious than the pictures reflect. Master bedroom has a wonderful mattress. Plenty of space in the bedroom, bath and closet. The kitchen is small but had everything we needed, and the island and shelving rack provided extra space. The downstairs was perfect for our kids. It has a surround sound system that was great for their music and dancing. Outside is the gas firepit. We used it for s'mores a couple of nights. Seating was great. The dock was wonderful! We used everything the owner graciously provided. It has a very large lily pad, 2 kayaks, 2 stand up boards and several floats. The water is deep which was perfect for jumping off the dock. 10 of us went and not one single complaint. It had everything we were looking for in a lake house rental and plenty of things that entertained the kids. One more note....it was exceptionally clean!! We would definitely stay here again.

House was nice! Had a bit of a mildew smell, but that’s to be expected at a lake house.

Great stay for a family!

We really enjoyed our time at this property. The use of space is great. It has a very nice view of the lake and the Lilly pad and kayaks are great for just hanging in the water. We rented a boat and the location to the marina is very convenient. We also loved how close it was to the interstate compared to other parts of the lake. Time was also very responsive to our questions. Would highly recommend.

Great house

We had a great stay! I would say this house is more suited for single families and not 2 sets of adults. The master suite is wonderful but the other rooms were much smaller and not really close to bathroom. Not ideal for two families!

This is an premium property, and it is everything it is advertised to be. The house is gorgeous with lots of room to move, sleep, eat, converse, relax. Boat dock is safe and clean, easy to use. The beds are comfortable and we slept so well! Deck seating on both levels looks onto the lake and the breezes kept us very comfortable. Dining on the deck capped the experience.
