Great Stay!
Had a great time. House was very cozy and had such a great view of the lake. Very quiet area with very little activity on the lake during our stay. Kitchen was well stocked with dishes/cookware and house was very clean. Will be back next year!

Great experience!
We stayed for a long weekend in April 2024. The check in process and communication from Emily before during and after our stay was great! We LOVED the views and the dock was great for our rented pontoon boat. Highly recommend!

Great view & Great for Families
We had a very relaxing stay with an amazing view of the lake. It was so relaxing. The game room was a wonderful asset for the children and the outside amenities were very nice to have as well. I appreciated how responsive the owners were to all of my questions. We will definitely come back and can’t wait for that time to come!

Look no further absolutely beautiful property.
Everything was as described in the listing. The house was fully stocked with everything we needed for our family meals. The parking was perfect for all of our vehicles. The games inside & out was a true hit for our group. The kayaks were a favorite for our fishermen & the paddle boards looked fun but the water was a little chilly. Overall Amazing Stay…
