Wonderful home away from home

Cozy and relaxing

Our 4-day stay at the Lakehouse was awesome! The house is cozy, large, has a kitchen with all amenities including a coffee bar, and the neighborhood is quiet and beautiful. It has a great game room for teens or adult kids. Will consider renting again - property owner was very responsive. We had a great and relaxing stay.

A Great Get Away

This place is a gem . It has plenty of room for everyone, there were 7 of us, but this place can easily handle more. It has great views of the lake with access being within walking distance of the place. It's a very nice neighborhood and friendly. Not all VRBO neighborhoods are like that . The instructions are very clear what is expected as far as check out and property usage. The host was very quick to respond and was glad to help with any questions. She made our stay enjoyable. It's a well stocked kitchen . Some places you feel you need to pack your own kitchen to take but not this one .We had all we needed . It is a great place if you want to go enjoy the lake and get out of town. I would bring my family here again.

Clean and great for kids

We had an amazing time. The house was clean and the owner did an excellent job welcoming us to the property with a small care package and Easter decorations. We really enjoyed the game room and the lake access with boats and kayaks available for us to use. There are 3 steps into every door to the house which proved to be difficult for our older dog, but he managed and had a great time as well. We would definitely love to come back!

Lake House

Property was great, well kept, clean and fully stocked. Great backyard and game room. The only thing missing is direct access to the lake. From the listing pictures is not clear that the adjacent waterfront property is not part of the house. Otherwise this is a near perfect place.

Loved It

Would not hesitate to stay here again. Beautiful, comfortable, and spacious 4BD/3BA home which allowed our dog. Immaculate condition and well-stocked. Spent a lot of time on deck. Very peaceful. Views of lake through trees from great room/kitchen, deck, and 2 upper bedrooms and balconies. Can't access lake directly from property, but we already knew that from property description. Easy walk to public dock. Having the use of owners' kayaks, paddle boat, canoe, etc. was really fun. Great game room with ping pong, poker table, and arcade games. Owners super responsive and easy going. Loved it!

One of the best properties we have ever stayed at!

This property had everything. Enough towels, pillows, dinnerware etc... We have stayed at many VRBO properties and this one by far was the best! The home is artfully decorated, appealing to everyone's taste: not dated, but warm and comfortable. We had a dinner party of 10 people, and we all were able to sit at the table, cook together in the kitchen and generally hang out everywhere. The young adults enjoyed the game room. The kayaks and boards were a blast (just a note- you WILL need a tow bar on your car to move these). Some high points: The backyard is perfectly situated for gorgeous sunsets. The thunder storm, hail and rainbows were wonderful! Stargazing at night is amazing. And, doing dishes at the kitchen sink is one in a million when the horses are out front (across the street). It was so amazing being here and spending time with family and friends. The property and house will NOT disappoint! Additionally, at the end of the day, the beds are comfortable and the sheets are the softest I have ever slept on. There is really not one thing I would change.

Great quick getaway

We enjoyed the house and everything they offered in the home. The kids loved going out on the lake. Would rent the home again. Only negative was the neighbors. Every time we met a neighbor they asked if we were renting and said they were part of the HOA just doing their rounds around the neighborhood. Other than that, the house and stay was amazing!

Amazing lakeside cabin

This lakeside cabin is in a beautiful gated community and was perfect for our weekend getaway! The cabin was very clean and the owners added all of the personal touches to make you feel at home. It's in a very quiet community so you can hear the ducks and geese while you're enjoying the rear deck. We really enjoyed the kayaks on Rainbow Lake. Great communication from the owners as well and answered all of our questions. We would definitely stay here again!
