Beds were comfy, towels were nice, everything smelled great! Host was great. They had some lawn games already on the property, so there wasn't a need to pack much. Fishing was excellent. Whole family had something to do. Quiet. Very very relaxing, which is what we needed. Host was nice and easy to reach.

This property is wonderful. The home was clean and equipped with everything we needed. I give it a solid 10, and we will very likely return next spring for another dose of family fun.

Our stay at the Parnell’s lake house was the definition of serenity. The privacy and stunning natural surroundings were absolute highlights. We established a peaceful routine of morning coffee at sunrise and evening gathers by the stone fire pit. Both houses were spotless, beautifully decorated, and offered incredible lake views. The kitchens were impeccably stocked for entertaining and family meals, and the comfortable beds ensured a restful stay. We especially loved the complimentary kayaks and the rare treat of having two private piers for fishing. The kids were constantly entertained between the lake and the hot tub. We highly recommend this property for anyone needing to unwind and are already planning our return.

Wonderful Lakefront Oasis

We were a bit skeptical to rent this house since there were no reviews (turns out we were the first ones to rent it) and we couldn’t have been more pleased. We loved that we had two different houses on the same property; it gave each family their own space. Everything was so clean. The owners were very attentive and had everything provided for us. Both houses had Wi-Fi and multiple TVs which was great for the kids once we came inside, but with so much space outside, they never wanted to stay inside. The hot tub overlooking the lake was also a big hit with the kids (and adults!!) There are too many great things about this property to list them all, but we really enjoyed our stay. We will be booking here again soon and can’t wait to come back!

We bought these houses four years ago and have really enjoyed staying here with family and friends over the years. Since we are not able to come as much as we used to, we decided to share our homes with others. We take pride it cleaning it clean and supplying everything you should need for a great vacation. We hope you enjoy it as much as we do.
