Mountain/Lake getaway

Perfect location for mountain adventures! Community area provides multiple activities for children - playground, pool, golf, beautiful lake walk. Garage allows for activities on rainy days. Living space very spacious - beds very comfortable. We had stayed several years and love it each time.

Lovely large home within walking distance of pool and pickleball

There was plenty of sleeping and lounging space for our group of 5 conference attendees. Great front porch with a glimpse view of the lake. Very comfy beds and room for gathering for games and meals. Furnishings appropriate to the lake cabin atmosphere.

Interesting Property

Staying at this property reminded me of staying at my grandparents house. The home was very clean and tidy. Furnishings and décor are dated. Locked closets and no access to the downstairs area was a little eerie. Being able to park in the garage was awesome, and was the reason we chose this property. My friends and I were traveling by motorcycle and we were thrilled to be able to securely park out of the weather. My major gripe and complaint was the AC. The owner's instruction was to turn the air off and the temp to 85 in the summer. When we first arrived (June 2022) it was every bit of 90 degrees and almost unbearable in the house. It took about six hours to get the temp down to 70 degrees. The AC ran wide open the whole time we were there. Other than that our stay was acceptable. We didn't use the kitchen or some of the other amenities, but we certainly enjoyed sitting on the front porch and looking at the lake. The house is located in a quiet neighborhood. This home is perfect for a family visit. If you do book it, bring a fan. It's going to be hot inside for several hours...

Our stay Sept 3-5

This is a perfect spot for a large family. Has four bedrooms and lots of space - including a ping pong table in the garage. Has a wonderful large front porch with a great view. Highly recommended.

Perfect place for us

We loved this place for our family. Big front yard for kids to play. Ping pong table was a highlight. Liked having all the paper goods needed. Multiple decks to enjoy privacy and togetherness with the front one having a good view of the mts./lake.
