All the comforts of home, sun all day, beautiful sunsets, western exposure, and clean water for swimming will make you want to stay all summer. One canoe and two kayaks are there for you to explore the water. All you need to have a perfect vacation, is to be here!! If you like quiet, this is for you.

We are a family of four and were very comfortable. We loved being steps from the pond, which we swam in everyday. The kitchen was extremely well-equipped. There were plenty of towels for four people—both bath and beach. The owners responded quickly to any questions. I highly recommend this rental.

We had a fantastic time! The house was clean and well mainatined, plenty of amenities and was a perfect spot on the lake with kayaks, a fire pit, a grill, and more. There was a decent amount of privacy from the nearby houses and our neighbors were quiet and respectful as well. Cannot recommend enough! Thank you Tracey!

I am happy to hear you had a great time. I’m not sure why you left a 4 star review because I can’t control the weather. I hope you have better luck with weather the next time you pick dates for your getaway. Happy New Year. 😃

Our stay was amazing! The house was cozy which made for the perfect getaway for my husband and myself. We will definitely be returning.Only recommendation would be to add life jackets for when going onto the lake.

Thank you for your wonderful review. We enjoyed having you as renters and would love to have you as repeat guests. We have considered providing life jackets but everyone would need a different size and that would be hard to provide. We do provide a couple of adult life cushions for you to use. 😀. Hope to see you again.
