Second time even better than the first. While last year's stay was great, this year was even better. The weather was HOT but the cool breeze off the lake made everything pleasurable as we fished, kayaked, swam and watched the wildlife.

This was everything it reports to be. A wonderful property on the edge of a good lake for gentle boating. We wanted for nothing! The check in process is easy, the host provided for so many little needs, and the peace was wonderful. I enjoyed short walks on the trails, paddle boarding and peddle boating around the lake, relaxing in the sunshine both on the porch and on the couch, and sleeping in comfort. I will happily happily return!

Family Wedding Stay

This was a perfect place for our family to stay for the weekend as we gathered for a wedding celebration. The property was well-maintained and our family loved the screened in porch. Everything was clean and the property had great layout. My family and I will definitely be back.
