Our stay on the lake

This home was all and more for our family getaway for relatives wedding. We enjoyed all the amenities they had, the paddle boards were a fav for our grown kids, we had a campfire one evening, our kids enjoyed the game room, the house was beautiful, beds very comfy, well stocked for anything we needed. The hosts were great people to talk to about anything. We hated to leave the quiet and peaceful lake.

A wonderful lake getaway

My friends and I had a wonderful trip to the lake house! Dana and Wayne have spared no detail with this property. The kitchen is stocked with everything you could possibly need. There are plenty of entertainment options (games, etc) for those lazy indoor days. The bedrooms/beds are all very comfortable. The house is impeccably clean. Dana is extremely communicative and responds quickly to inquiries. We would be happy to visit this property again. Thanks for a great experience!!

Wonderful Lake Getaway!

My family stayed in this lovely home for a cozy 55th birthday celebration for my husband. We wanted to do something lowkey where we could relax, and spend quiet time with close family. This location and house was an excellent choice for us. We had everything we needed for our stay on site. The kids loved the game area and we enjoyed making s’mores at the firepit at night. The communication with the owners was great as well! Checked in and made sure we had what we needed. I would definitely stay here again and Loved the home so much. My youngest daughter was sad to leave. Thank you for the hospitality!

Incredible getaway

This home was a beautiful landing spot for our group - my sons college friends joined our family for a fall weekend. The house has everything you might need. So many cozy spots to snuggle up or or watch leaves fall. The outdoors was such a bonus! The fire pit and dock were my favorite. Dana was great to work with! We loved it!

Annual Cousins Weekend

We hosted our annual cousin weekend. The location was perfect! The pictures didn't do the home justice as the in person experiecne was top tier. It was perfect for our weekend. It was 12 of us in the group and all 12 of us were impressed with the home. Dana responded quickly to any questions and gave very detailed information the day of our arrival. The home offered everything you possibly needed from cooking seasoning, utensils, water, and some snacks. The plus was the 2 kitchens. I highly recommend this home and we definitely look forward to staying again in the future.
