It was a beautiful house on a quiet cove. Every thing you could need was there. The dock was very nice & pontoon boat was great to take out. We will definitely go back.
Parking was secure, neighbors were extremely friendly, and the back deck had a beautiful view of the lake. It was a peaceful environment. We enjoyed our stay.
The pictures very accurately describe this property. The lake is wonderful. All of the features of this house are just impeccable. My partner wanted to buy all of the furnishings and take them home. Pat is an unbelievable host and will answer any question within 5 to 10 minutes of you texting him. I’ve stayed in Vrbo’s for a lot of years and this is absolutely the best I’ve ever stayed in.

Than you Jim , it was our honor to host you to our house. Thank you so much for leaving it in great shape you and it was a pleasure meeting you. Look forward to the next time.
Great place to stay. Great host to work with and easy communication. Great views. Large back patios. The cove is very peaceful. You have to drive through a campground to get to the house, but once there, you have ample parking for 2-3 cars.
We had such a wonderful stay at this lakeside cottage! The space was very clean and well taken care of, which made it easy to relax right away. The view of the lake was absolutely beautiful—perfect for enjoying a quiet morning or unwinding in the evening.The cottage itself felt so cozy and comfortable, like a true home away from home. On top of that, the host was incredibly easy to communicate with—friendly, responsive, and helpful throughout our stay.We would definitely stay here again and highly recommend it to anyone looking for a peaceful getaway!

Thank you so much for the nice review, we pride ourselves with giving our guest the best experience while enjoying our home .
Beautiful home with lots of outdoor seating to take in the amazing scenery! The house was immaculate with plenty of space for our family of 5. We took advantage of the 3 kayaks and explored the lake, the host also provided life jackets. Our host was proactive with all communication and very responsive with any questions. We would love to stay here again, and highly recommend you check it out too!

Thank you Stacy for all the kind words . It’s was a pleasure getting to meet your family and I’m so happy you enjoyed your time here . Also a big thanks for how neat you left the house , definitely one of the easier cleanings . Look forward to next time .
This place was perfect! We travel to this area on a pretty regular basis and this will now be “The Spot”.. super clean! The beds were very comfortable! The view was spot on and our teenage daughters lived in the hot tub… this house was very welcoming and the neighbors were super friendly too! The host was THE Best and was very easy to communicate with… highly recommend..
The house is absolutely gorgeous.Everything was very clean and comfortable and very homey feeling. The beds are very comfortable. Sitting out on the deck in the morning with my coffee was absolutely wonderful. The View from the deck is gorgeous. We rented the pontoon for 2 days and took it around the lake. Pat and his wife are wonderful hosts. Super friendly.They live right next door but you don't know it unless you were to need them or to wave and say good morning. The fishing is good also. I highly recomend staying here. We will definitly stay here again.
Home was great and exceeded our expectations. Great view of the lake and easy access. Extremely reasonable rental rates for the available pontoon and Seadoo. Host was one of the best we have encountered and helped with area information and restaurant recommendations. We will definitely be back in the future.
This place was nothing less than AMAZING! The owners were so nice and sweet! Will definitely be coming back! The place was clean and all the essentials you would need for a vacation are supplied. The boat was beautiful and the view is picture perfect! Definitely a 100000/10!!!!

Nikki and have lived in the neighborhood for 5 years . We had the opportunity to purchase this home in June 2025 so we did to give STR a try and we have really enjoyed our time meeting new people and seeing them get to experience the joy of lake living as we do everyday.
Why they chose this property
The lake is just steps away with beautiful views from the deck . We really enjoyed seeing all the different kind of birds that come and go as well as it being so peaceful
What makes this property unique
Besides the lake and great views we offer 3 free kayaks as well as the opportunity to rent a pontoon boat at a great price during your visit
