Loved our stay!

We were so happy with everything that this place has to offer, it was a perfect fit for our vacation and the owners are very accomodating. We highly recommend it for a relaxing stay away from the hustle and bustle of the coast. Sitting on the dock in the evening and enjoying nature was a perfect way to end the day.

We had the nicest weekend here. The home was beautiful and the owners are so thoughtful. From extra seating for the dock, to recommendations to local attractions, to fully stocked coffee selections, there isn't anything they didn't think of. The property is well kept and in a quiet neighborhood and perfect for a relaxing getaway by the lake. Thank you Laurie and Mark for a great weekend! We'd love to come back.

The perfect getaway

As soon as we walked in it felt like home. The ambiance was warm and inviting. And the special touches like the lighting inside and out helped ease any stress we were feeling. The charming house was immaculate and we didn’t want for anything. A big thank you to the Beggs. We’ll be back.

Perfect for a quiet getaway!

A absolutely loved my stay here. The house was very clean and comfortable and the outdoor space was just beautiful. This area can get a little dark at night, but the property was well lit (this is important to me as I often travel alone). It was so peaceful sitting outside at night. My dogs being able to join me was a HUGE plus. The hosts were fantastic. They were quick to reply to any questions, and provided a ton of things to do in the area (many of which I tried). Check in was super simple. I'd absolutely love to stay here again.

We'll be back!

We were very happy with our rental! It was perfect for our needs. We did some fishing from the dock and explored the nearby towns. Inverness has a cute theater where we saw a community theater show one night. The living room furniture is quite comfortable and the kitchen is well stocked. Laurie and Mark were kind enough to leave a card, balloon, and birthday glass as we were there to celebrate my husband's birthday. They sent suggestions of things to do and checked to make sure we got in okay. We will definitely be returning for a future trip.

**Amazing Escape with a Stunning View*

I recently stayed at this wonderful rental house and it exceeded all my expectations. From the moment I arrived, I was struck by the breathtaking view that the house offers. Nestled in a serene location, the panoramic vista of the surrounding landscape provided a perfect backdrop for a relaxing getaway. The house itself was impeccably clean, spacious, and well-appointed with all the amenities one could need. The decor was charming and tasteful, adding to the overall comfort and ambiance of the place. Each morning, I enjoyed my coffee on the deck, soaking in the tranquility and beauty that surrounded me. Whether you’re looking for a peaceful retreat or a base to explore the local area, this rental house is an ideal choice. It truly felt like a home away from home, offering both comfort and a sense of escape. I highly recommend it to anyone in need of a rejuvenating break. ---

We loved our stay here, this is our second time at the hideaway and it was as wonderful and relaxing as ever. The waterfront is a beautiful backdrop and we loved having our meals on the screened in lanai. The yard is very welcoming for pets, our dog loved being outdoors after a very cold and dreary winter up north. For a meal in town, everyone should try the Hometown Deli, you will not be disappointed.
