### Additional Information
**Please note:** The Corp of Engineers prohibits the use of our dock; however, a gentle bank allows for easy loading and unloading of boats right in front of the house on the lakeside. For those looking to rent a boat slip, the State Park Marina—only a mile away—offers affordable daily rentals on a first come, first serve basis.
During the colder months, lake levels may drop, presenting a unique opportunity to hike and explore the fascinating lake bottom. ***As of 5/13/23, we want our guests to be aware that this year’s lake levels will be five feet lower due to dam repairs. Rest assured, swimming and fishing remain enjoyable, and launching a boat from the state park ramp will still be available. We are also working on relocating our docks further up the shore to enhance access to the water during this time. We can't wait to welcome you to our slice of paradise!8

My family had a great time! The place is clean and in a great location on the lake. The walk from the house to the dock is easy. We have been coming here for 3 years and will be back again next summer!
Perfect location!!! We loved the house and the closeness to the lake with dock. Very spacious and very clean. The owner went way over and beyond for us and was easy to get ahold of. We are hoping this house will be our new house for Labor Day weekend!!! Thank you!
Nice screened in porch. Easy slope to water. well equipped small kitchen. We brought our boat and tied up with no problem. The State ramp is nearby. state dock/fuel nearby. We had a nice stay. Had a good meal at nearby Big Mouths restaurant.
This is listed as a non-smoking property, however, the home had a very very very very strong weed odor which was a bit offensive. One of us also had an allergic reaction to a blanket with probable animal dander. There is a firepit, but no firewood. The parking is limited. All in all, We spent most of our time on the lake and had a great time.
We really liked staying at this property! We stayed over the week of Thanksgiving to attend dinner at the home of nearby family. We had 6 adults and 2 teens ranging 12-80 and there was adequate space for everyone. It was also easily accessible for 3 seniors, one of which is completely blind. The house is extremely clean, well furnished, and has comfortable bedding and a well-stocked kitchen. The 3 levels gave us all space. I can see that this would be a fantastic place for a summer stay with the outdoor spaces and the lake. However, the house doesn't have hot tub as the listing states and the owner requests that you take showers, not baths, even though it does have a tub. The only negative for me was the lack of transparency about having to conserve water due to there being a septic or black water tank. I feel like this should be clearly stated in the listing. I have never encountered this in renting homes many places, including drought states, like California. We only stayed 4 nights in November, so it wasn't a problem for us. However, if I were planning to stay there a week in the summer I would expect to be able to do a couple loads of laundry per day of towels and swimsuits for hygienic purposes. The listing states there is a washer and dryer, but doesn't mention that personal laundry is limited. I only found that out after booking. For a long weekend or if you don't mind the water limitations this is an outstanding,fantastic rental. I would definitely stay there again!
We had a wonderful time taking a family vacation at this home. We had 7 adults and 3 children and had plenty of space. The screened in porch was our favorite feature, but everything else was also wonderful! The ease down to the lake was great and we caught a few bluegill right off the bank. The other plus was the location to the state park where we rented a boat and heard some live music. Would definitely book again! Thanks for a great extended weekend getaway at the lake.
This was the perfect house for three generations traveling together. The location was great, with its access to the lake. We enjoyed taking out the provided kayaks, making s’mores in the fire pit, and relaxing on the screened in porch.
Cozy lake house and Great location near old state dock and Cute
Had a great stay!! Cute decor and comfortable space for two littles and five adults. The screened in porch is awesome for summer nights! We loved the ease of access to the dock and location near old state dock.
Fantastic place and location. This was exactly what my family was looking for in a weekend trip to the lake.
We are already checking our schedule for a return trip.

Our family had a great time. We kayaked, hung out around the fire, and enjoyed playing cards in the screened in porch. The house was clean and had everything we needed. A great place to relax.
The home was spacious, comfortable and well furnished. The two decks offered lovely views of the lake. There is abundant wildlife and we enjoyed the relaxing sights and sounds (cranes and deer feeding in the yard). We watched a young fisherman catching fish right from the shoreline.Unfortunately due to the high water levels, the walk into the water was mucky and difficult to maneuver. Normal water levels should make it a completely different experience. The location is on a nice quiet end of a street and a calm and quiet cove area on the lake.
We loved this house and property, plenty of room for four adults and three children. We swam in the water right off the property and also in the nearby beach. The kids enjoyed making smores in the fire pit and catching frogs. Our stay was very fun, relaxing and quiet.
We didn’t get to use the house much or even walk down to the lake. We mostly had coffee in the morning and just slept there because we were busy at our cousin’s house and the state park for our annual family reunion. The house was perfect for the 4 of us and we didn’t even need one bedroom or the downstairs. We would stay again!
