Perfect place for a lake front getaway!

My Dad, Mom, brothers, sister in-law, niece and nephew had a fantastic time! The house and amenities were top notch, beach front great for kids, relaxing, bon fires and of course swimming! The beds are so comfortable and I haven't slept that well in a long time. My mother is looking into getting the same mattress! One of the best family trips we've been on in a while!

Awesome

This was a very peaceful relaxing vacation with family. The house was very clean and provided everything we needed. Everything you needed for the beach was also provided and my granddaughter loved every minute and enjoyed the beach toys. We highly recommend staying here!

Beyond Expectations!

Beautiful accommodations right on the water! This home had everything we needed. Plenty of space in the five bedrooms. My four granddaughters ages 1 1/2 - 6 years old could not get enough of the beach. We enjoyed kayaking and long walks along the crystal-clear water.

We had a wonderful fall stay with exceptional weather. Beautiful sunsets and also beautiful when the moon set early in the morning over the lake. There are a lot of steps to go to the bedrooms and down to the beach, but we managed. The views made it all worthwhile. Very good and prompt communication from Terry when we had questions. We also went putt putt golfing, went to an escape room in town and went out to eat at The Farm, so lots to do in the area for all ages.
