Surpassed all of my expectations

Such a beautiful place with amazing views of the water in both the front and back. We had enough room for everyone and the decor was so warm and inviting. It made our special weekend perfect! Highly recommend

Fun stay for the whole family!

The home and property had everything we could ask for and more. We had family coming from all over so the garage and ample parking along the road were much appreciated. Views of the lake from all angles in the house are a wonderful treat all hours of the day. The flat yard and easy walk to the dock made our lake voyages all that more enjoyable. We also loved fishing right from the shore since it was so accessible. Even though our stay was during a heat wave, we still loved having a fire one evening to roast marshmallows and view the night sky. Allison was great host and very responsive to any questions!

Gorgeous cabin on the lake

This was a perfect location for our family to meet with friends from out of town. The house has a luxurious cabin feel, and there are plenty of spaces for people to spread out and play games or talk. The kitchen is incredibly well stocked, which made it easy for us to cook up some favorite meals. The property manager was friendly and responsive to questions we had. The floors could have been cleaner when we arrived, and I'm sure they would have taken care of that if we'd contacted them about it, but we decided to deal with it ourselves. We would definitely stay here again!
