Multi-Gen Graduation Stay
We (3 generations) spent a lovely, relaxing 5 days here to attend Millikin’s Spring Graduation. The house was great. Very spacious! The kitchen was stocked beyond my expectations, and the view was amazing. We SUP’d, kayaked, and fished (caught 2). I especially appreciated the Roku TV’s that automatically log you out of your accounts at the end of your stay. The house was clean, had great air flow, water pressure, etc. A few, minor, things to mention: 1) entry to the property requires utilizing several steep steps. My father is almost 80 and had some difficulty. 2) the vanity in the downstairs bathroom needs some cosmetic repairs. 3) the decks and outdoor furniture would’ve been more enjoyable had all the cobwebs, spiders, and bird poop been swept off/washed before our arrival. There was plenty of space for everyone to do their own thing and also plenty of shared space where we could all hang out together as a family. A lovely home, the best we’ve stayed at over the past 4 years (we’ve rented 3 other properties & stayed at Forsyth hotels). Wish we’d found it sooner!

Memorial Weekend
We had a wonderful time at the Lakeside property. All the decks with great views and plenty of seating. The inside of the house was very comfortable too. Always got an immediate response from owners when asking a question. Would love to stay again!

So peaceful and relaxing
Pictures definitely don’t do this air b&b justice. Everything is so beautiful and well taken care of. Beautifully decorated. Then walk outside to the amazing few of the water on 3 different decks all with plenty on seating. We will definitely be staying here again. Love this place

Paiton's 21st
We had a wonderful stay at the Lakehouse, celebrating our daughter's 21st birthday. Wish the weather cooperated so we could have enjoyed the backyard and/or kayaked, fished, or swam ... but there's always next time - and we will for sure be back (possibly May 2025 for her graduation at Millikin!). Thanks for sharing your home with us!
