We had the absolute best time at the Lake House. The weather was perfect for a November stay and we were able to cookout and have a campfire in the evening. The house provided everything we needed! We will definitely be a repeat guest.

Lakeside retreat, very peaceful and perfect for a family getaway. It's too bad our plans changed and we didn't get to enjoy this home as much as we wanted to, but the time we were there was really nice. Kim always responded quickly. Given the opportunity, I'd love to stay here again!

We enjoyed the swing by the lake for relaxing and taking in the lake view. We sat on the oversized covered deck for dinners and reading time. We easily cooked in the kitchen and played many rousing games of Uno at the kitchen table. The property is well stocked and very clean.

This home was exactly as described! We had zero issues with anything and if we are ever in the area again we would stay here! Our host, Kim, was more than accomodating even when we needed the furnace looked at, it was fixed very quickly! The lake is gorgeous, the grounds and area around the house are beautiful and full of wildlife,

Very comfortable and relaxing

My husband and I rented the lakeside home to enjoy for the week with my two sisters. The home was everything we needed it to be. The kitchen was very well stocked for the cooking we did. It was a hot week but we were able to stay cool in the home and while fishing on the dock we were thankful there was a roof to block us from the sun.

Ark Encounter Vacation

This was our first trip to see the Creation Museum and the Ark Encounter. We were in a great location to get to both places very easily. The house was very clean and comfortable and the lake was beautiful. Sitting on the deck looking over the lake was just what we needed! Thank you!
