Wonderful property with so many amenities including fishing poles, a fire pit, kayaks, paddle boards, games, shuffle board, projector with surround sound, nice outdoor seating, fully stocked kitchen with many pans, spices, all the things. Love the grill attached to a perm propane line. EXTREMELY responsive hosts that were super helpful and got back to us right away with anything we asked of them. Our whole family had a great time. So much to do around the house as well. Very quiet and peaceful on the property itself.

Wonderful property!

This was such a great house to host our group of 10! We were all impressed by how beautiful the house is, even better than the pictures! So much space and lots of light. Kitchen and bathrooms were clean and well stocked. We spent most of the time by the water - so nice! Driveway is very steep but property is extremely well kept. Would recommend to anyone!

Wonderful family vacation!

We had an amazing week at this beautiful home on the lake! Our party of 10 had plenty of space to spread out and the huge table allowed us all to sit down together for meals which was so nice. Wayne & Dana have really thought of everything with this rental, it’s obvious they put a lot of thought and care into making your stay the best! They were so great to communicate with as well. We loved sitting out on the back deck and the game room was a big hit with our sons and their girlfriends as well. Our only complaint is that we wish our vacation time was longer, the week just went too fast. We would absolutely love to stay here again in the future!

Our stay on the lake

This home was all and more for our family getaway for relatives wedding. We enjoyed all the amenities they had, the paddle boards were a fav for our grown kids, we had a campfire one evening, our kids enjoyed the game room, the house was beautiful, beds very comfy, well stocked for anything we needed. The hosts were great people to talk to about anything. We hated to leave the quiet and peaceful lake.

A wonderful lake getaway

My friends and I had a wonderful trip to the lake house! Dana and Wayne have spared no detail with this property. The kitchen is stocked with everything you could possibly need. There are plenty of entertainment options (games, etc) for those lazy indoor days. The bedrooms/beds are all very comfortable. The house is impeccably clean. Dana is extremely communicative and responds quickly to inquiries. We would be happy to visit this property again. Thanks for a great experience!!

Incredible getaway

This home was a beautiful landing spot for our group - my sons college friends joined our family for a fall weekend. The house has everything you might need. So many cozy spots to snuggle up or or watch leaves fall. The outdoors was such a bonus! The fire pit and dock were my favorite. Dana was great to work with! We loved it!

Wonderful Lake Getaway!

My family stayed in this lovely home for a cozy 55th birthday celebration for my husband. We wanted to do something lowkey where we could relax, and spend quiet time with close family. This location and house was an excellent choice for us. We had everything we needed for our stay on site. The kids loved the game area and we enjoyed making s’mores at the firepit at night. The communication with the owners was great as well! Checked in and made sure we had what we needed. I would definitely stay here again and Loved the home so much. My youngest daughter was sad to leave. Thank you for the hospitality!

This beautiful house is so well stocked and prepared for your arrival! We really appreciated the wine and waters and snacks! Most of the cabinets and light switches are labeled and it’s just so easy to feel at home! The game room downstairs was a hit with the younger group, the projecter screen was amazing and the detailed directions on how to operate everything made it all so simple! Everything you could need to cook is truly provided and it made meals at the house so enjoyable. Being able to all sit together at the large table was also a treat! The driveway is very steep and the house behind a hill below road level was a bit of a surprise but all the steps/terrain were really not that bad and the entire home is just so architecturally interesting! The homeowners were extremely responsive to any issue or question we had. This end of the lake was not busy at all on the week days and we were shocked to be able to have our kids tube and ski with very little concern of other boaters. It was a great stay in a great house with great property owners!
