Waterfront w/ Private Pier! Excellent Fishing Year Round! Sunsets & Swimming

The Island Lake house is right on the water with a private pier. No other house gets you as close to Lake Ripley or has better sunset views than the Island! The swimming is excellent with hard bottom sand frontage and no weeds.

The fishing is superb from this house without a bunch of weeds to snag your lines. See the picture of the small mouth bass caught from our pier in 2025! The State Record Largemouth Bass comes from Lake Ripley.

Please note that during the peak weeks of late June July and early August we have weekly rentals that are Friday to Friday. Please contact me about alternative blocks during that time.
