About the host
Hosted by Scott Dack
We’re a family that thrives on adventure, connection, and making memories, and we love sharing those values with our guests! With four very athletic children, our days are filled with energy, outdoor activities, and lots of laughter. Whether we’re enjoying time at the lake, or watching our children compete, we believe in living life to the fullest.
Coffee is an essential part of our lives—we appreciate the little moments of joy it brings, whether it’s a perfectly brewed French press or a frothy latte on the deck. We’ve made sure to create a “caffeination station” in our rental, so you can savor your favorite morning rituals while taking in the serene beauty of the lake.
Lake life is truly at the heart of who we are. There’s nothing quite like the sound of the water, the feel of a paddle in hand, or watching the kids bounce on the lily pad. We cherish the opportunity to spend time with family and friends, sharing meals, swapping stories around the firepit, and simply enjoying each other’s company in a relaxed, beautiful setting.
We’re passionate about creating a space where others can unwind, regenerate, and connect with their loved ones. Whether it’s your family’s annual getaway, a celebration with friends, or just a quiet retreat, we want your experience to be effortless, joyful, and memorable. We’ve poured our hearts into curating this space so you can leave your worries behind, embrace the moment, and make lasting memories. Welcome to your home away from home—we can’t wait to host you!
