Great for families.

Great for family gatherings (grandmas to little ones); love the kayaks and paddle boards; kids enjoy fishing from the pier; decks are perfect for just sitting or reading or watching birds or boats go by; home is clean and the host is always pleasant and easy to work with.

Relaxing

We enjoyed our stay. House is a little aged but it being right on the lake was great. Driveway is a little steep but we had a four wheel drive truck. Wish you had a cleaning station for fish but all in all we had a great trip.

What an awesome place for our family.

This was an ideal place for our family to be together. There was lots of spaces we could use to play games. Plenty of space we could find sanctuary to be alone when we needed to be. We would stay there again in a moment.
