We had an amazing stay! Started out with an issue with the hot water heater but Kimberly was responsive and had plumbers out within a couple of hours and we were back in business! The home was clean, beautifully decorated, and the paddle board and kayaks were a hit! The younger people in our group also loved the game table and S’mores on the deck.

Relaxing Getaway

This property is absolutely amazing. The views, beds, furniture, hot tub are all top notch. We stayed during July 4th and the fireworks were awesome to watch on the lake. This was a gaming meet up of friends who have never met each other after 4 years of playing games together everyday. The infinity table was the highlight of the trip, I think we used that the most, playing scrabble and monopoly. Overall it was a very memorable time and we’ll definitely be back.

Absolutely amazing getaway!!

I can’t say enough wonderful things about this lake house—it was, without a doubt, the most relaxing week of my entire year. From the moment we arrived, the peaceful, quiet atmosphere immediately put us at ease. The setting is absolutely serene, with beautiful, uninterrupted views of the lake that make it feel like a true escape from everything. One of the standout highlights is the hot tub overlooking the water. Sitting there in the evening, soaking while watching the lake, was pure bliss. It’s the kind of experience that melts away all stress and makes you lose track of time in the best way possible. And I have to mention the couch—because wow. It is unbelievably comfortable. The kind of couch you sit down on “just for a minute” and then suddenly wake up an hour later. It quickly became one of our favorite spots to unwind after a day by the lake. I also brought my French bulldog, and she had an amazing time. The entire property is dog-friendly, which made the trip even more special. It’s not always easy to find places that are so welcoming to pets, and this one absolutely is. The entire property in the back is fenced in. So my dog could spend time at the lake and I didn’t have to worry about her chasing geese. The house itself is incredibly well maintained—everything is clean, cared for, and thoughtfully set up. You can tell the owners take great pride in the space. They were also always available for any questions, which made the whole experience feel easy and stress-free. The kitchen had all of the utensils pots pans everything needed for cooking, the only thing we needed to bring with food to make. I genuinely cannot wait to return. If you’re looking for a quiet, relaxing getaway with beautiful views and all the comforts of home, this place is perfect. I wish I could give it more than five stars. I will be back!
