We always have a great time here. There is lots to do for the kids, and the adults enjoy the beautiful view and relaxing by the lake. The house is well equipped, and its owners are warm and welcoming. We feel like we’re staying at a friend’s place.

This property is delightful. The house is spacious and the location is peaceful. The home is near one end of the lake so there is minimal traffic on the lake and on the street. Perfect place for all ages to relax and have fun.

The property had everything we could've needed. Well thought out with all the basics and beyond. The game room was enjoyed by the kids and we all enjoyed fishing and boating on the pontoon. Would highly recommend.
The lake house is a great place to stay. The entire family had a wonderful time and there is always something to do. The lake house has everything that you need, paddle boats, kayaks, great fishing and a pontoon boat that you can rent. 'There is a fire pit for making some more’s or telling stories. The great kitchen makes preparing meals an easy job. When it is time for sleep, the comfortable beds assure a good night’s rest.This is a great place to stay.

Had a great time with our grown kids and grandchildren. Very well equipped house with comfy sofas to relax on. We rented the pontoon boat which made the week very special. We fished, swam and took sunset cruises on the lake.

So glad to hear you had a great time! Hope you made new wonderful memories on South Lake!
We would love to have you stay with us again.

This home has everything you could possibly need, and more! South Lake is absolutely beautiful, with clear, clean water and a nice sandy bottom. The hosts have gone to great lengths to insure that their beach area is free from lily pads/grasses. The view of the lake from the house is amazing. There was plenty of living space for our family of 11! I highly recommend this home!

Lori,
Thank you so much for a very nice review! We put a lot of work into creating and maintaining the beach area. We are glad you & your family enjoyed it. Come back to South Lake and stay with us again.
Angela & Eric
The property is exactly as described. The rooms are spacious and the view is gorgeous, The lake wasn't busy and we enjoyed riding and fishing in the potoon. This is a perfect spot to relax, play a few yard games, and enjoy a fire. We take a yearly family vacation and we will definitely keep this on our list for a return visit.
House was lovely with enough room for all our family. Angela and Eric were very easy to work with before we arrived. They were very responsive and quickly answered all of our questions during our stay. We also rented the Pontoon boat for our stay. We enjoyed having the boat available during our stay. We will stay here again. Thanks for a great stay!!!.

Super Clean! Very spacious. Great for a family - young and old. The layout of the bedrooms was nice and allowed for some privacy. Beds were very comfortable. Kitchen was well stocked. Everyone had fun with the game room! Nice beach area and fishing right off the dock. Great communication with host.
