We had a wonderful stay! We loved being close to the water and yet still having privacy and peace! My nieces loved the hidden room and all the games available. The trail down to the water is a bit rough so bring your best hiking shoes! We will definitely be back in the future!

Beautiful property with an amazing view of the lake. Lots of room for everyone to enjoy time together but also not feel crowded. Bathrooms are amazing and my kids loved that they had Bluetooth. So they could listen to their music. The hike to and from the dock was a rough one, lol.

INCREDIBLE property! We had our annual Girls/Mom trip here and it did not disappoint! The views and the property are beautiful and completely private. We enjoyed spending the majority of our time on the back porch and down at the dock on the water soaking up the amazing views and sunshine. We even enjoyed the little hike down to the water. The house had everything to entertain all ages and was very accommodating and cozy. All of us agreed we would love to come back and bring the families and of course book again for our girls trip! 10/10 recommend this little jewel of a place right on the water with perfect views!
