This was my second time staying at this beautiful lake house, and it was just as wonderful as the first. The host is amazing very responsive and attentive. The property is spacious, spotless, and offers a peaceful, relaxing atmosphere. This trip was extra special because it was the first time I’ve taken my father on a getaway since his recent retirement, and he’s already talking about coming back. A truly memorable and restful stay!

The house is fully stocked with all that you need to have a comfortable stay. Plenty of room in the house and on the porch. Because we had a lot of rain we utilized the covered patio and it was awesome.

Great Vacation Home

We had a great stay, clean and comfortable. We stayed in for dinners, good selection of dishes, cookware, etc. Only stayed 2 nights this trip but will definitely return to this lovely home. Kids loved the yard to play in and also the air hockey table! Would highly recommend this home for future stays!

Great Stay!

The location was great. The water was higher this summer so we were able to float relatively close to the house. The bottom is soft but not too squishy so you don't have to wear water shoes if you don't want to. The house was very clean, they provided lots of bed linens, shower towels and beach towels. It says it can park 4 cars on the listing but it easily holds 6! Super close to public boat launch in Log Cabin and Lee park is pretty close as well! I would definitely stay here again. Great house! Thanks Marcie!

Wedding weekend

Because we were here for a nearby wedding, we didn’t have time to really enjoy this great house. It is clean, the kitchen is very well stocked and the beds are comfy. We want to come back so that we can really enjoy the lake and the beautiful open water lake view.

Rest and Relax!

Family came and celebrated my 48 birthday and it was a nice two nights! We felt at home and had all we needed for a relaxing time. We fished off the dock, kids played on the beach and we had good food a day family time! We would rent this place again, as it was a great fit!

Family Weekend

This was just a quick family weekend get together. It was great that my grandson could play in the water right in front of the house. Even though the water is down in the lake we were still able to bring our pontoon boat right up to the dock.

We were in town to see my nephew play football. So we didn’t take advantage of the lake, but it was certainly tempting. The view from the house is awesome! The back porch is a great place to relax.
