Spectacular spring break getaway

We had an amazing stay at this lake house. This house exceeded our expectations. It was clean, comfortable, and had many amenities. From the big things like kayaks and paddle boards, comfy beds, and scenic view on the dock, to the little things like extra toilet paper, towels and linens, and sports equipment provided, this place had it all! My children spent most of the day fishing or on the water. They loved exploring the little islands right outside of the cove. I loved that I could sit on the dock, relax, and not worry about them! The volleyball court and basketball hoop we definitely an added bonus! Our only regret is that we couldn't stay longer! We will definitely come back to this house again!

Amazing Fall Getaway!

We stayed at “Looking Forward to the Lake” for an early fall get away to spend a few days enjoying nature and the fall foliage. This was the perfect home for just that. Matt and his wife are extremely responsive and attentive hosts, offering flexibility and going the extra mile for their guests. The property itself is nestled away on a quiet cove and is surrounded by the most beautiful trees and scenery. This provides just the right amount of privacy but with the convenience of the grocery store and other local establishments just a short drive up the road. One thing we really enjoyed was spending the gorgeous fall days on the water using the kayak and paddle board, and evenings by the fire pit. The house has all the things to make the lake enjoyable. Our second favorite part of the home was the amazing TV with led fire place. This made movie night amazing and I can’t wait to get one myself. Last but not least there is a spacious kitchen and grill right off the side of the kitchen to make barbecuing easy. I can’t wait to come back again next fall. Overall a beautiful, clean and relaxing place to stay with great hosts and plenty of great memories ❤️

Great house

This house was great. We booked it for a girls weekend and it was exactly what we needed. The kitchen is fantastic and there were plenty of comfy lounging areas inside. We loved the fire pit, deck, and porch. We sat outside daily and read or chatted. It is a beautiful, quiet location and the renters really thought of everything. I loved that linens were included and they even left some trash bags, toilet paper, and paper towels, which if you’ve ever rented houses before, that is definitely not the norm. The renovations are beautiful and they really take good care of the home. Definitely coming back.

Beautiful home in quiet cove

This house is well decorated and comfortable, in a nice neighborhood. It was a great place for extended family to stay and relax while in town for a wedding. The view of the lake is beautiful. I loved waking up to the view from the bedroom windows, and we enjoyed lounging on the large porch. The kids had fun playing in the water and on the paddle boards. Host was responsive and helpful.

Beautiful lake front

We had an amazing time at this beautiful lake front home. The pictures don’t do it justice and the views from the house, bedrooms and porch are gorgeous! The kitchen was perfect for our family of 7 and there was plenty of room for togetherness and space! Would definitely come back. Thank you for sharing your home with us.
