Enjoy the Leisurely Camp Life - Galway Lake Spacious Waterfront Home

Come take a breath of fresh air and relax on the water at this spacious home on Galway Lake. The perfect getaway for family and friends to enjoy the lake life.

This home features 3 bedrooms plus sleeping loft and, 2 full bathrooms, a jacuzzi bathtub, fully equipped kitchen, fireplace, TV, high speed internet, business center, and much more!

Wake up and sip a morning beverage from your wrap around deck as you watch golden rays of sun rise over the glistening water. Head out on the kayaks and explore the lake, take a refreshing dip in the water, hike around the woods, catch a fish right off your dock, grill up some grub, then kick back and relax around the warm crackling campfire. If you can take your eyes off the halcyon paradise surrounding you, look up and maybe you'll spot a shooting star and wish you could stay longer! So pack your bag, sign off those Zoom meetings, and let them know you’ll be at the lake!

Great house, great fishing!
The house and property were beautiful. The house was so clean! The yard was nice and level and close to the water. Location is very convenient to everything. Heidi and Barry are wonderful hosts. Could not believe all the fish we caught! We will be back!

Relaxing Summer Getaway!
My family loved everything about this immaculate lake house. Other members of my family rented the owner’s adjoining property, and that made this wonderful experience even better. We were treated as valued guests from the introductory tour and throughout the week. The owners are great and provided us with everything we needed for our entire stay. We caught fish, had bonfires, and enjoyed the lake every day. This was our second year staying here and we hope to back next year!

Another wonderful year!
This was our second stay at The Osprey and what a wonderful stay it was! Heidi and Barry continue to be excellent hosts and their home continues to be a lakeside paradise. A newly renovated dock made it even more enjoyable. Kayaking, fishing, swimming, constant bbq’s and plenty of quiet time with the most beautiful view. Drinking a morning cup of coffee, lakeside, is the best way to start your day. We enjoyed every moment and look forward to returning.

Quiet and Relaxing Stay
My family and I loved our stay here. The home was very clean and fit our family well (4 adults/2 children). We enjoyed much time out in the yard and on the lake kayaking and fishing. The area was quiet which made for a relaxing and peaceful getaway. All communication with Barry and Heidi was easy and smooth. Would definitely return if we ever come to the area again!

Incredible lake front home
Four adults and three children thoroughly enjoyed staying at the Osprey for a week in mid July. The home was spacious and beautifully decorated - there was plenty of space to spread out, but also communal space to eat and relax together. The kitchen was well outfitted with everything you need to cook at home. The outdoor spaces have everything - whether reading on a lounge chair enjoying the view, or kayaking on the lake there are so many ways to enjoy your time. This house is nicer than other places we've stayed and it is even more lovely in person. Heidi and Barry were so welcoming and accommodating. We can't wait to book again for next year!
