A little “PEACE” of paradise

Really enjoyed our stay. It was the peace that I and my family needed. It’s close enough to the things that you need but far enough that you feel like you’re in a resort. It’s clean, we felt safe and it felt like home. Will definitely stay here again

Long weekend with family

Beautiful home situated at a great scenic location on Lay Lake. It turns out the lake was down three feet so we couldn’t kayak or have a friend take us a pontoon ride as planned. The house was very clean. Lots of things for the kids to do. Big screen tv downstairs. It was nice having two kitchens. Nice relaxing weekend.

SIMPLY AMAZING !!!!!!!!!!

Our family goes on vacation 2 times a year. We always had to settle for what we could find thateveryone would be happy. We booked this house because the reviews was wonderful. But what sold us is that your not sitting right on top of anybody else. Privacy is very important to us. This is our family time together not being together with some other family. You can bring a boat as it has a dock and coves on the side. The pool is wonderfully equipped and clean. This house is immaculate clean which i loved. When you walk in this house it is like walking into a magazine. Every room was designed for comfort . Kitchens to die for . You have 2 very well equipped kitchens up and down stairs. Im so use to having to bring stuff from our house to a rental because you always need stuff rentals dont usually have. All i can say is you can leave your stuff at home on this trip. The staff is wonderful.... very responsive to questions. This home is our new rental place we will be seeing yall in October. Thank you for sharing your beautiful home....

Incredible Property - perfect weekend getaway

The house is fully equipped with everything you’d need for a lake weekend. The hosts were very responsive and made our entire stay enjoyable. Highly recommend The Perch for a relaxing weekend on the lake.
