Host profile image

This is the house where I grew up and is full of fond memories. We like to share it with others so they can make their own memories of Wilson Lake.

Why they chose this property

This house is in a quiet peaceful neighborhood surrounded by trees. It’s a great place to play and relax.

What makes this property unique

The property that the house sits on has been in my family for three generations. My mom, Bettie, designed the house and it was custom built for her 29th birthday. She spent the next 45 years there with my dad. We’ve kept it as original as possible with modern updates where needed. It’s where we like to relax and we are happy to share it with you.
