Log Home on Circle Lake - Now with Pickleball Court!

Vacation in a Gorgeous Log Home out in the Country on Beautiful Circle Lake!
We have tons of amenities, but everyone's favorite is the Lake! A close second are the Lake toys, including 2 brand-new fast Hydro-bikes ($5,000 worth) 2 Paddleboards, 2 Kayaks & 1 Canoe! Two log swings & a super-comfy fabric swing overlooking the Lake are amazing!

We have room for up to 10 guests in beds, in five beautiful bedrooms! Past Guests have told us we have the most comfortable beds they've ever slept in! You'll have 3,000+ square feet in the lower level, facing Circle Lake, to spread out in!

You will enter your own separate entrance on the lake-side of the house. (We live quietly upstairs, but are gone a lot travelling ourselves. Our kids are gone, and we do not have a dog.)

You'll have a Theater Room for watching TV & Movies! You'll have a full kitchen, with a square high-top table that seats 8, which is great for games! A Pool Table awaits to entertain you.

The sleeping rooms are separated with a walk thru a short hallway (only one step down) to the Kitchen/Dining Room/Game Room. That keeps the Sleeping rooms completely quiet, even when some are still playing games or watching TV.

Pontoon Rental Available on the Lake: Sunset Pontoon Rentals (Ask for contact number after booking).
2024 Rates - $450 a day plus gas

SUPER CLEAN! We have an amazing Cleaner who dis-infect all hard surfaces. They wipe down switch plates, stair railings, and other surfaces others might miss.

They use Melaleuca Cleaning Products, that are green & Eco-friendly cleaning products that contain NO harmful chemicals! Sol-U-Guard, Melaleuca's powerful disinfectant, has been proven to kill the Corona Virus, and thousand of other viruses & bacteria upon contact!

Come & Enjoy a Worry-Free Getaway!

Beautiful lakefront home

My family of 8 loved our stay here! It is such a beautiful property and has more amenities than any other VRBO we’ve stayed in. So convenient - from the fully stocked kitchen, to the BBQ grill, to the cozy blankets, to the life vests and boats for the lake. The owners are incredibly kind and very attentive.

Beautiful accommodations!

The level we stayed in was huge!! 5 bedrooms, 3 bathrooms, large tv viewing area, another cozier area for chatting over morning coffee. The view of the trees and lake was beautiful especially at sunset. Plenty of amenities including keurig coffee maker. Steve was a great host and very helpful. Our plan is to go again and seriously thinking we've found our forever fall getaway.

Sibling getaway

Great vacation with family. Appreciate everything there is to do here...kayaks, hydro bikes, paddleboards, fire ring, pickleball, pool, games, etc. Water was a bit scummy but maybe that was due to timing? The space is beautifully decorated, spacious, & everyone loved it here. Would highly recommend.

Great for Large Family Gatherings

The property is everything you see in the pictures and more! Wonderfully soundproof, stocked with everything you need for group gatherings for cooking and eating (we brought so much stuff that was not needed/used) even had a sweet little coffee bar with kcups and a large coffee pot with filters so all you need is your favorite brew along. You wont need to drag along your own crockpots as theyve got all of that covered along with laundry right there in the unit including soaps/softner and fabric sheets & all the towels and beach towels needed. The whole place was immaculately clean and that was such a nice surprise. The beds were definitely the best we have ever slept in at any vrbo. The owners are such nice people and we really didnt notice they were there at all and they were quick to respond when we had questions. Would definitely recommend this vrbo and giving it 5 stars across the board!!!!! Thanks Steve & Julie

What an awesome place

We had an amazing 4 days! The house is beautiful with a great kitchen that allowed us to cook for our large group with no problem. The yard is fantastic - we had squirt gun battles with the kids and loved watching the birds in the morning. The beach was perfect for the toddler - and we all enjoyed getting out into the water on the kayaks, hydro cycles and lily pad where we saw bald eagles and countless water birds. We'll be back for sure!

This was a great property for bringing family together of many ages. Lots of comfortable space, beautiful views and lake front, and so many extras from water toys to towels, blankets, kitchen utensils, outdoor lounge chairs, and a great beach area for toddlers and adults.

Great Get-Away

Hosted a bachelor party with 8 of my friends. It was the perfect place for us to relax yet still have things to do. The basketball court is tons of fun and it was awesome to jump in the lake right after. There is some sand and it’s up kept very well. There’s a nice doc and some water toys to use. Inside we took full advantage of the pool table and great TV room. There’s plenty of places to sleep for everyone. The hosts were awesome - communicated very quickly and made everything effortless. I would recommend this place to anyone. Thank you to our awesome hosts!

Perfect Getaway For Families Of All Ages

The property is clean and well maintained. The kitchen and living area is spacious and well appointed, complete with a great coffee bar. The layout is perfect because the bedrooms are separate from main living area, so early risers or night owls don’t disturb anyone’s rest. The pickle ball court is amazing! We enjoyed family pickle ball tournaments, lake activities, toasting marshmallows by the fire while watching the sun set on the lake. This private and serene property is a gem!

Our stay

The owners were very happy to make sure we had what we needed. A few requests were addressed immediately. All in all it was good. The only problem was that you had to park about 100 feet away from entrance and walk over a grassy hill. Most times wet.

Circle Lake house

Great place to stay. Well laid out with quality and thought of use taken into account. Owners were in contact daily and responsive to any needs. Good place to relax and just enjoy the view. Lake was a bit green but were still able to canoe and use water bikes. Nice beach layout and again quality items - canoe, kayaks and water bikes to use as well as life jackets, etc. Nice place for small children to play in the sand. Overall one of the best places we have stayed at.
