Another fantastic annual week stay at Jon and Mary Ellen's lake house!! The house is very clean, and equipped with everything you will need. Linens, cookware, utensils, toiletry items and hand soap, laundry soap, dish soap, paper towels, etc. etc. etc!! Puzzles, family board games and a small library of books. While spending time outdoor, you have many choices of recreation, 3 child and 4 adult kayaks, a paddle board, life jackets, corn hole game, fishing and of course swimming! A grill and fire pit are also available with a large deck with plenty of chairs.

Home Away From Home

Our stay at Jon and Mary Ellen's lake house was amazing. The house was super clean and we had all the necessary supplies needed to make our stay comfortable. Jon and Mary Ellen are gracious hosts making us feel right at home. We are looking forward to renting their place again next summer. The Glovins'

Great summer getaway

I took my kids here for a few days to enjoy the lake. The house had everything we could need. The location was perfect - right on the lake with easy access to kayaks and a swimming dock. Jon and his wife were great hosts and made sure we had everything we needed to enjoy the stay. Would absolutely visit again!

Perfect place for summer fun

This was our second visit and I wouldn't hesitate to stay again and again. The lake is so beautiful and the owners provide everything you need to enjoy it -- kayaks, life jackets, the floating dock, the small sand beach. They even brought us a firepit and kindling to enjoy smores. The house is comfortable, quaint and clean. The kitchen is well equipped for cooking and they have literally thought of everything. From condiments in the fridge to oil, sugar, flour, coffee. It's a dream for anyone who likes to prepare meals and you cant beat the view! The beds are comfortable and there's tons of family games, puzzles and books. The TV is small but you won't be watching it anyway if you’re like us because the lake draws you outside. It's so nice to have shade on the deck and a table to enjoy meals. The daybed in the room that faces the lake is the best spot for reading or an afternoon nap. Such a lovely view from two directions. The house is a bit quirky, but that just adds to its lake camp charm. We hated to leave and look forward to returning.

Another Great Vacation at Jon and Mary Ellen's Lakehouse

I can't say enough about the owners Jon and Mary Ellen. It is their attentiveness to detail, while recognizing the needs of their renters, that allows for a relaxing vacation. The kitchen is well stocked with eating utensils, dinnerware, serving platters/bowls pots, pans, measuring cups and spoons etc. etc....Too many items to list! The bathroom supplies and linen closet are also well stocked. Upon your arrival you will find all necessary items for an enjoyable stay . I would highly recommend renting from Jon and Mary Ellen. They sure do know how to make you feel welcome and comfortable. Wanda Glovins

Great spot!

The place was so clean. Ample space to accommodate the 6 of us. The kitchen had every pot, pan, utensil, small appliance, etc. that you could think of. Lovely deck right on the water with perfect view of sunrise. Located in the narrow and was very quiet and restful. Perfect place to swim, fish or just relax. Walmart and grocery stores nearby. Great having the owners right next door who respected our privacy but were very accommodating and checked to make sure our needs were met. I would rent again.

Peaceful lake retreat

The house is set up well for a relaxing weekend with a good kitchen for cooking and dining area facing the lake, as well as an outdoor deck with a table for outdoor dining. The beds are comfortable and the house is very clean. Unfortunately both times we have stayed the weather has been cloudy but the lake is lovely and peaceful. We loved our stay, thank you so much!
