We had such an incredible stay at this lakefront home! From the moment we arrived, everything felt clean, bright, updated, and welcoming. The home has been beautifully refreshed with modern upgrades, stylish decor, and a fully updated kitchen with great appliances that made cooking and gathering easy and enjoyable.The outdoor setup truly made this place special. We spent our days kayaking, floating on the lilypad, swimming from the beach area, fishing off the private dock, and relaxing in the hammock with lake views. At night, the sunsets were absolutely stunning and the firepit area was the perfect place to unwind.The neighborhood was peaceful and quiet, yet there was so much to do right at the property. It felt like the perfect balance of a relaxing retreat and a fun getaway. We made so many great memories here and would definitely book again!

Perfect Lake Getaway!

Wow, what an amazing lake front property! This house was perfect for our family of all ages! The house is very spacious and has such an awesome backyard that we spent most our time outside! We especially loved the kayaks, fooseball table and patio furniture under the shade. The dining room with the view of a lake was perfect for our breakfasts to start the day. The owner was so communicative and accommodating for a few custom requests. I highly recommend this property!!
