Perfect vacation
Julie's home is beautiful and has everything you could ever want in a vacation home. The kids were in the water most of the day, the shallow depth was perfect for them. As for the adults, we had so many places to relax - the deck, the beach, the fire pit, and the floating lounge chairs. Other than getting our groceries, we rarely left the property, we had such a great time. I highly recommend Julie's home!

4 generations
4 generations (88 years-2 months) gathered and completely enjoyed our week in this lovely home. We only left to go to the grocery store. Adults and children loved the indoor and outdoor spaces. Tubing, paddle boarding, kayaking, fishing, playing at the beach, roasting marshmallows, daily walks around the lake, evening pontoon cruises and nightly Scrabble games around the dining table made for very special memories. We did not turn on a TV even once!

Perfect Lakefront Getaway for an Unforgettable Family Vacation
We had the pleasure of staying at this lake house for a week and it exceeded our expectations in every way. The cleanliness of the house was impeccable, creating a welcoming and comfortable atmosphere. Kids loved the fresh plate of cookies when we arrived. The spacious and cozy interior with its beautiful decor provided ample room for our family to relax and unwind. The large windows offered breathtaking lake views from almost every room, adding to the charm. The fully equipped kitchen and with spices, coffee and condiments made meal preparation a breeze. Our highlight of our stay was the lake itself. The private dock provided easy access, and we spent hours swimming, kayaking, boat rides around the lake, fishing, and enjoying the water. The provided water toys and games added to the fun. The owners' exceptional hospitality and prompt communication made the entire experience seamless. They truly cared about ensuring we had a memorable stay. They had everything we needed, including a crib, highchair and baby gate for our little one. In conclusion, our family had an amazing time at this lake house. The cleanliness, picturesque surroundings, and wonderful amenities exceeded our expectations. We highly recommend this rental for a peaceful and rejuvenating retreat where you can create unforgettable memories with your loved ones. We're already dreaming of our next visit. Thanks again for everything!!

Our Favorite Vacation Home!
Our family of 6 stayed here and absolutely loved it! Our kids 7, 7, 5 and 2 had a blast in the beach area playing with the toys that were at the house (definitely don't need to bring any from home). The water was shallow enough for our kids to walk to the end of the dock which made it perfect for them to play safely. We were also able to catch plenty of large mouth bass right from the dock as well! The house itself was beautiful. All of us agreed that it was the nicest home we've ever rented out and there was never a moment (even on a rainy day that kept us inside the whole time) that any of the kids said they were bored or wanted to go home - which was a first :)
