There are great views on all sides and on both levels. Very clean. Well stocked kitchen for our needs and comfortable beds with flexible sleeping options for families. Thoroughly enjoyed this property! ##### Sharon S. Stayed 3 nights in Jul 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Al G. Aug 9, 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy This property was everything we hoped it would be. The cleanliness was outstanding, and everything was well organized. The beds were comfortable, the kitchen setup gave us everything we needed to prepare family meals, and having bathrooms and living spaces on both levels gave us the room we needed. Having the lake and boat landing so close allowed us to use our boat as much as we wanted, and the crappie fishing was an unexpected bonus. We would definitely stay here again if the opportunity arises. ##### Al G. Stayed 7 nights in Aug 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Rachael B. Aug 7, 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Red Rock Rest It was very peaceful. Saw a raccoon, Pheasant, turkey and listened to the owl evenings and mornings. Natures bliss. Comforable and really cool!! ##### Rachael B.
