What an amazing property! The kids loved playing at the private beach. The fire pit by the water was nice for evenings by the water watching the sunset. Amazing views from the deck and inside. Beautifully maintained yard. Very well equipped kitchen. This is one of the best rental properties we have stayed in.
Very vice cozy spot. Very clean and and seemed to be fairly new. Awesome view up on a hill. Driveway was steep but it is paved and was not slippery when wet. Will return in future if i am needing to be in the area!

GAME PLAYING WEATHER AT THE LAKE
with many years at Johnsons Lake as experience, this was definitely the most stormy weekend we've ever had! Luckly our Waterfront Getaway provided us shelter and comfort to play games. We made delicious meals on the grill and in the fully outfitted kitchen, we played cards, and did get to play in the water. The neighbors on both sides were very gracious, and we have already booked it for next year!
