Doc’s Lake Oasis stay
My family and I went out to Doc’s Lake Oasis over the 4th of July. This house has everything you could ask for and more. When the weather was beautiful, we were out on the lake enjoying the beautiful scenery and peaceful water, the few storms we unfortunately got did not put a damper on our vacation whatsoever. The house was clearly just refinished to perfection, it gave us inspiration for our own home! We cooked every meal and did not go to one restaurant while we were there, it was like being at home. The beds are super comfortable, the living room was cozy and intimate, and the basement was full of toys, games, and a movie theatre! The hot tub at the end of the day was icing on the cake. There is fire pit AND a pizza oven outside to do enjoy. Another perk was the friendly wildlife; the deer fed right out of my son’s hand! I could go on and on about Doc’s Lake Oasis. Do yourself a favor and book this place, you will not be disappointed and will want to book again. Thanks for opening your home to us!

Relaxing Luxury Vacation
The property was even better than the pictures! We were there over the insane heat wave and the breeze coming off the lake and wonderfully shaded yard kept us cool outside. The AC kept us cool inside and the house had everything we could possibly want. George and Sarah were wonderful hosts and made communication so easy! Checkin was seamless and the whole trip was wonderful. The kids loved all the games. Everyone loved all the boats. Can’t recommend enough! Already trying to get a group together to come back again.

Spring Break Weekend Get Away
We were excited to find this property on VRBO for a quick weekend get away and Easter brunch with our family. The house was beautifully designed and thoughtfully stocked with items one might need while away. It was clear they considered their guests in every decision...bathtobes in the closets, toiletries under the sinks, a well stocked kitchen, soft, clean throw blankets everywhere, even a leash and dog towels for our pets. There were so many clever gaming stations for guests of all ages to enjoy both as well as ping pong, foozeball and more. Since the weather was not ideal for spending time on the lake, we took advantage of both fireplaces, the hot tub and the huge movie theater where we watched plenty of March Madness games. George and Sarah were quick to respond to the one or two questions we had while we were there. Our family would definitely book this house again, hopefully on a sunnier weekend. Thanks for providing such an enjoyable experience!
