Family Fun

We had an awesome time at this beautiful property. The home had everything that was needed and plenty of space for family to relax. Absolutely enjoyed doing smores at the firepit and great views of the lake. Thanks we enjoyed ourselves and will book again.

The house is spectacular!

We had a wonderful time staying here. It's secluded with great views. The house is extremely clean and the beds were comfortable. The directions that were provided made it easy to find. I highly recommend this property for a nice getaway. I had great communication with the owners. Jim was very responsive and accommodating. We will definitely be returning.

It’s a nice place, but we did have a problem. The upstairs shower leaks into the downstairs shower. The ceiling was stained so it’s obvious it’s been going on for a while. So if you’re taking a shower downstairs you will have moldy leak water in the shower with you. We had 7 people and one usable shower. I messaged the host and he was already aware, but we were not given a heads up. We paid premium price and expected premium accommodations.

Definitely Secluded

Fantastic property! Only significant issue was the stairs. Steep, narrow and no hand railing. Challenging for older folks. Fire pit and outside seating and kitchen were outstanding. Had so much fun . Thank you!

Spring Break

This rental was amazing! Beautiful as well as functional. Plenty of room for 10 to sleep comfortably. Wonderful outdoor spaces and lake frontage. The kitchen was well thought out with the essentials being on hand for our use. We will definitely be booking again!

Beautiful & Peaceful Getaway!!!

We all enjoyed the beautiful home. Everything was thought of that we would not have realized we needed. The home was decorated for Christmas which made the stay extra special. Communication with the host was exceptional. This property is well secluded and tranquil. I could go on and on what a wonderful experience. We will be back!
