Hello Amanda! Thank you for the compliments...there's a certain amount of pleasure in communicating with guests and helping make sure their vacations exceed their expectations. Was there anything I could have done differently to earn that fifth star? It's important guests have not just a really good time Away From It All, but a really, really good experience. Thanks for your interest in our place... Pat

The home was clean and well equipped! The home is in a great community (Wildwood Point) and location on the lake. Loved the lake view from the porch swing on the dock. Enjoyed the kayaks. Patricia was an excellent host! She let us know that she was having the weeds treated around the dock. And that we could dock our boat at the neighborhood community area. And we loved swimming at the community pool with an amazing lake viiew.

Such a great location. Right on the lake but feels private since it's on the cove. Very quiet during the week; boat & people activity picked up on the weekend. Love the easy entry to the water and all the access to floats/kayaks/paddleboard. Nice to have grocery & ABC store so close too.

About the host

Hosted by Patricia and Richard Batko

Host profile image
I have always wanted to own a B & B, and hosting this lake house is the closest we can get. We do our own cleaning and much of the maintenance between bookings and take personal pride in seeing that the home and property provide the best possible vacationing experience for our guests.

Why they chose this property

The owners take personal pride in the home's comfort and cleanliness.

What makes this property unique

This is one of the few properties that welcomes well-mannered pets. We bring our own pets here and it adds to the family enjoyment .(and saves on boarding fees) We do request a refundable pet deposit of $350 which is refunded to you as soon as our cleaning is complete.
The property is on the water and only a few hundred feet from the boat ramp. There is a dock with several cleats to tie off guests' boats, but the beach is suitable for wading or floating.
Garbage pick-up service provided on Mondays
