Private, secluded, lakes, kayaks, pontoon boat, good fishing (catch and release), fire pits, indoor pool, games, plenty of room, and we can bring our dogs who love it just as much as we do! Tom and Beverly are excellent hosts with a gorgeous property. We thoroughly enjoy our time here!

Nice place! Fishing good! Loved the indoor pool. Couldn’t swim in the lake due to so much green algae slime nor could we sit out on the sand beach area because there were so many flies, bees, wasps and other bugs. Lots of wasps around the property and many coming into the lodge from somewhere .!?! Saw lots of mud dabber nests. Otherwise had a nice time!

Second Visit Was a Success

This is our second time staying at this house and it was just as lovely as the first time we visited a few years ago! The kids love the pool, and the house has such a bunch to do to keep them occupied when not swimming. The wife and I love the location and the peace and quiet.
