This home was incredibly clean, well stocked, and absolutely beautiful! There were 6 adults on our trip and it was very spacious! We brought our boat and used their wonderful dock! The gravel road to this home is long and extremely bumpy (just drive slow), but once you get to the home it will be smooth sailing! This was our favorite VRBO rental so far and we have been to a lot! We would definitely stay here again!

Perfect Family Trip

The house and location were perfect for a family lake trip with 5 kids 16-21. We could just relax and take in the view, or there were plenty of opportunities for fun. I would recommend bringing or renting a boat during your stay. The hosts were great and we would definitely love to come back.

Nice and relaxing getaway

Nice and clean with everything you need for a fun and relaxing getaway. Getting to the property could be a challenge in inclement weather as the 3 mile road is unpaved with hills. The s’mores kit was a fun and thoughtful touch.

Lake vacation 2024

Loved the house and all the amenities. Will stay again if we can. Launch for boat is very close as well as food/groceries. The only down side was the road to the house which has nothing to do with the rental, it’s a little bumpy!

We had extended family in town for a wedding, including some very older adults. This home was accessible, with one floor living. The home is beautiful and well-appointed. The views and grounds are amazing! Our family group had a wonderful stay. Owners are responsive and easy to work with. If you book this home, you will be glad you did!

Great place

Wonderful location and overall experience. Lake access is awesome. Owners communicated well and place was as described. Would stay again! One note for folks not driving an SUV or Truck...the road in is pretty rough. That's not necessarily unexpected since it is lake access living. Just drive carefully to avoid ruts on the gravel roads.
