    The Property:
    Hope Floats is approximately a 2,200 square foot cottage that has remained in the same family since the 1950s. Over the years a second story was added, doubling the space, and a large garage was built (we are open to renting the garage for an additional fee).

    There are four private bedrooms, an open kitchen, dining, and living room. The laundry room is perfect for washing and drying your clothes after a long day of playing. The upstairs has two bedrooms, a full bathroom, and a large common space for additional sleeping quarters, playing games, and watching good movies.

    Hope Floats is surrounded by large trees that provide ample amount of shade and privacy. It is a short walk to the water and dock. The property between the cottage and water is an easement with adjacent neighbors. The easement can be used for overflow parking, throwing a football, and taking in the sun.

Very Enjoyable

The hosts were great and took good care of us. We had a family of 8 and there was plenty of room. The lake breeze and trees kept the house nice and cool.

Hope Floats

Hope floats was a great place for a family vacation. It was stocked well with anything we needed. Communication with the hosts was positive and they were very responsive. Access to the lake for kayaking and paddle boarding was easy and close.

Lots of space and well supplied with dishes and pans. Owners communicated well and described the place perfectly. My only complaint was there was no A/C (which they disclosed) but on two nights it was well over 75 indoors (even with fans). I recommend putting. Few split units im for the rare heat waves.

overall the property was very nice and pleasant

We were staying for the week because my granddaughter's wedding was taking place at the Heritage Barn. We were in and out most of the days with wedding events. We were please with the condition of the home except for several stains on the carpet and a molding was broken off but other than that it was great. I, as a crafter, appreciated all the cross stitch pictures that were hanging on the walls. Thank you

Local family getaway

Local family getaway, the house was great and very clean. Owners were easy to contact and had no crazy expectations. We were expecting to coming in and and nothing and the house was stocked with the toilet paper, paper towel and some cleaning supplies. We were a little worried about not having central air but the house is shaded and gets a nice breeze off the lake. The only thing that I wish would have been noted was that the house doesn’t really have a nice beach access as we thought the house was closer to the beach like the houses directly in front of it. Other than that we had a great time and would recommend to others
