Couples fishing trip
This property did not disappoint! No detail was spared in making this the perfect spot for comfort and relaxation. And the views! The property was designed and situated to take advantage of panoramic scenery. Our fisherman were especially appreciative of the private boat ramp and dock. There were 3 couples and we all commented that you couldn’t go wrong with any of the 3 bedrooms….all 3 were comfortable and had their own baths. We will definitely stay again if back in the area. Awesome trip!

High School Fishing Tournament
We brought several boys down for a high school fishing tournament on Lay Lake. Our stay was perfect! There was tons of space for us! The boys enjoyed all of the fishing off the property and off of the dock! We had an amazing time and made tons of memories!! Would love to stay again in the future!

Beautiful Lake House
House was beautiful with gorgeous views and was well equipped. Had everything you needed and more. Very well thought out. Staff was really nice and helpful and answered all our questions. Felt like you were on your own little island. Did not have any issues what so ever but was surprised of the surrounding neighborhood. A beautiful property to stay in, cook, relax, enjoy the view and all the amenities the property has to offer. We had 4 people but would also be great for a larger group and has another house on the property that is equally as beautiful. It was on the corner and had views from every angle. Peaceful, quiet, and relaxing.
