Wonderful Stay!

We had an excellent time at this gorgeous property! The lake was wonderful and the house was perfect for what we needed. We had 5 adults and 2 children and everyone had their space and were comfortable. The neighborhood lake fireworks was an unexpected bonus! We loved our long weekend at this lake house!

Great Getaway!

This home is lovely and decorated very nicely. It is also well stocked and had everything we needed. The owner is very easy to work. The covered back porch is awesome and this is where we spent most of our time. Highly recommend!!
