#### Gorgeous wedding getaway for a very affordable price
We held our wedding ceremony here on June 26th 2017 and it couldn't have been any more perfect. This property is absolutely breathtaking! The owner was very kind and went above and beyond to help make our special day be a very memorable one. We fell in love with the area. The pool was a great bonus along with the hot tub. Being able to watch the stars at night while relaxing in the hot tub was one of my favorite things about lifewater. Our family enjoyed the pool in the heat of the day and then had fun in the evenings while playing by the ponds and catching some frogs. The owner also allowed us to ride around in the 160 acre property on our dirt bikes, feed the cows some alfalfa pellets and allowed us to use some wood from the property to build the arbor we used for our wedding. Overall we really enjoyed our stay while at lifewater.

#### Amazing property!
Private get-a-way. Large comfortable well appointed home with salt water pool and big hot tub set in a gorgeous wooded setting. We had a family reunion here and everyone really enjoyed themselves. Had pretty much everything we needed. The pool was a definite attraction, getting much use. Plenty of areas for different groups to congregate. Pool table, large screen TV with online access, trails to hike and lots of wildlife to see. Beautiful area. We'll be back and will recommend to others.
