Quaint Private House on the Lake

This is a gem of a place that gives a lot to offer. Fishing, boating, swimming, sunsets, yard activity, lake roads for the kids and privacy. We love this place because of the lot layout. Flat and big with plenty of privacy. We were busy all day with the kids with activities. The house layout is simple and great. Lake views, kitchen and high ceilings. Management/owner was easy to get a hold of. Recommend this place.

Amazing stay

We came from Washington State to visit my sister for her wedding. Overall, we needed the space and it fit perfectly. For our big family, we enjoyed the Lake house so much. Made many memories, the kids loved it. And my wife did to all my family enjoyed it. I will definitely come back to this place again. Love the wildlife out here, too.

Amazing July 4th Getaway

Three generations of family stayed in this home for a long 4th of July weekend! The views are phenomenal, and you cannot beat the lake front access. My boys (ages 3 and 1) absolutely loved swimming all day! There isn’t a “beach” but it has a gradual sandy bottom making it fun and easy for kids that don’t want to jump off the dock. *fair warning for those with littles* - the deck & stairs are not exactly “child friendly” but we found ways to block the stairs. We enjoyed the gorgeous kitchen making breakfast every morning. There is a variety of games and toys for kids and adults alike. Neighborhood was adorable and neighbors were friendly. Would absolutely stay again! My kids are already asking to go back.

Nice vacation property!

The property is very nice and well appointed and provided enough space for 5 adults and 4 boys under 10. Kristi was a great host and having the kayaks, canoe and paddle board were an added benefit for water play. It was great to have a dock for our boat and the shaded yard provided plenty of space for active boys. Thank you Kristi!
