Rural area but not to far from actives

Property owner was great in communication, house was well stocked. This is an older house that appears to have been neglected at some time, current owner seems to be updating and making improvements. Our biggest concern was the house wasn’t as clean as we expected, other guests had vacated that morning, cleaner’s were pushed for time so we could check in. (And it’s a large house) Need to look for new cleaners or getting more help. We live in an expensive world, the property seems to be overpriced for the off season, when water is down and you’re not able to use the lake.

Great place to get away and relax.

The property is in a nice neighborhood, with plenty of space inside and out. If you want to get away from things with some family and friends this is the place. You are about 20 minutes from any major stores and restaurants so pick up supplies on your way in. Cell service with ATT is minimal but there is WIFI on the property so you are still covered for access. The large downstairs area is great for kids or teens with a large sleeping area, living room, bathroom, kitchenette, and games. While the upper level has 3 beds rooms, 2 baths, a large kitchen, and a living room. There is a full deck on the upper level to relax, eat a meal, or throw something on the gas grill. The lower level features a covered deck, with picnic tables and ping pong. The large backyard, peer, and boat dock on the lake are an added plus for outdoor fun.

About the host

Hosted by Matthew Hodgkins

Host profile image
I have travelled extensively during my career and value a clean, comfortable place to stay. My wife and I enjoy creating exceptional vacation experiences for our guests. We think this property will exceed your expectations and leave you and your traveling family with wonderful memories!

Why they chose this property

We love the location of our neighborhood. It is just enough out of the way to ensure quiet natural beauty. It is self-contained, with approximately 30 lakefront homes on larger lots. The street is a 2-mile circle that is great for leisurely walks to unwind and experience nature.

What makes this property unique

We love the gentle sloping hill down to our private dock, new in 2026. The home is spacious enough for large groups while remaining cozy and inviting.
