Garage/activity room was perfect for a day and lots of fishing. Brought our kayaks to paddle around. Loved the large deck to relax in shade or sun. The host was so quick to respond. We would do it again!"

Private Peninsula With 3,000 Feet Of Lakeshore In The Heart Of Lake Country!

10/10 Excellent

"We were so happy with our stay - the property has a good amount of space and several rooms for rest and entertainment. The seclusion and privacy of the outdoor space is amazing, and we were so happy to find that the lake was cleared enough to swim near the beach. The opportunity to use the pontoon for fishing was greatly appreciated as well. Would definitely return here in future!"

Quarterdeck Resort & Restaurant

10/10 Excellent

"We had an amazing stay here! The VIEW IS INCREDIBLE! Staff was accommodating to our family and our dog! We ended up staying in the water a little later than expected so we were unable to get dinner at the restaurant, but the bartender offered us some beautiful salads, Mac and cheese for the kids, and cheesecake! It was very reasonably priced. We rented e-bikes and road on the trail, we saw a bear! It was pretty crazy. Very friendly staff. We will definitely be back!"
