Once again my family thoroughly enjoyed this lovely lake house. We swam, used the paddle boards, kayaks and fished every day. We enjoyed campfires and made s’mores several times. Our grandson caught a very nice 16 inch largemouth. Both grandchildren enjoyed walking the paths in the woods.Heidi and Barry were as gracious as always. We had everything we needed for a great vacation. We will be back next year.

My family had a great week at Galway Lake. The property was beautiful and the hosts were beyond great to all of us. The sunrise over the water was beautiful. The grandkids loved the nature walk and finding little frogs. Fishing off the dock with them was great and kayaking to find turtles was a lot of fun. We also hot a great picture of one of the Liberty Eagles in the tree right by us. Everyone is already asking when we are coming back.

This is a waterfront home on a private lake (Lake Galway) with no motorboats allowed. The owner provides kayaks, floats, and a boat. We had a party of seven who spent most of each day in the water. We also fished off the dock for many hours. We used the fire pit to roast marshmallows one day.The inside of the house was immaculate with the beds made prior to checking in and towels provided. All the appliances worked well with a large stainless steel refrigerator/freezer with an ice maker. We chose to prepare all of our meals in the house rather than going out to eat.If you are looking for a quiet, beautiful place to stay and relax - this is it!!

Wonderful Galway Lake

The lake house was immaculate. Everything you could possibly need is in the house. The house is super comfortable. The back deck overlooking the lake was great to sit on a sip wine! Using the kayaks and the rowboat on the lake are super fun Thank you, Heidi and Barry! .

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!

Superlative! Premises were very clean, complete, and well-organized. Beds were even made up when we arrived. Everything worked perfectly. The lake is ideal for a family - quiet with a rowboat (electric motor available) and three kayaks. Our family swam and used the boats every day. Owner lives right next door. Could not recommend Galway Lake and the home more highly.

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.

Great Family Vacation

We find that this property is ideal for our family. We have young children who enjoy everything about the lake. We all caught fish, kayaked and swam everyday. Barry and Heidi are wonderful hosts. They went out of their way to make our stay even more enjoyable. We had everything we needed for our week. You will not find a cleaner or better appointed house. We will be back next near.

This property was outstanding!! Owners were wonderful. Everything in the house was first class! Everything was so clean!! Kitchen had whatever we needed. Beds, pillows and towels were so soft and comfortable!! Kayaks, paddle boards and row boat outside kept everyone busy and having fun on the water! Water was clean and so safe especially for our friend’s children!!! Fishing off the dock was a special treat!! We will definitely go back… hopefully in the fall!!

A great week

We had a great time at the Osprey house. Heidi and Barry made everything easy and simple. The house is very clean and the kitchen is stocked with everything you need. All we needed to bring was food! Everything was provided...Sheets, shower towels, lake towels. There are 3 kayaks and a rowboat. We used them all. There are even swim fins and a snorkle mask. We enjoyed the firpit two nights and the BBQ grill as well. The lake was a comfortable swimming temperature. There is a welcome book that has all the information you need for the house and the surrounding area. There's a high school 10 minutes away with two tennis courts which we used 3 times. And not far from that a place to buy fresh pies. We got two.
