Very relaxing weekend. The guys fished all weekend and caught a few. We enjoyed the boat house, the geese, and even had a Corn Hole tournament! We WILL be back!
Well appointed Camp setting. Great beds. Little mixup with the remotes, but it was quickly resolved. WiFi saved the day when it rained. Excellent location for a relaxing stay.
We had a great weekend at the Joie de vivre lake house. The location was perfect, the house was just as described, had plenty of room for everyone. We spent most of our time on the boathouse fishing and enjoying the views. The sunset was one of a kind. The house had everything we needed. We will be back!
Absolutely perfect! We did a small family vacation, quick stay. This was perfect! Amazing views, great spacious house, clean, dock was great, caught fish and sunburn. Great location too... not too far from stores. Spacious car parking. The host was easy to contact and answered everything. Only thing i would say is one my husband over packed thinking we would need more but this place had everything! Definitely will be booking again!
