Beautiful home on the lake. This was the 2nd time to stay at this property, we celebrated my son's 24th birthday and we will rent here again. The owner was quick to respond with any questions/concerns. We enjoyed S'mores by the firepit and caught a few fish from the dock. Such a beautiful place!

About the host

Hosted by Leslie Martin Cifuentes

Host profile image
Mom of 3 boys. We have so many wonderful family memories at this home. We come out as often as possible in between the kids crazy extra curricular schedules. I hope you find as much enjoyment here as we do!

Why they chose this property

With such great open spaces and so many places to relax, this is the perfect spot for family and friends. The screened porch is so nice in the rain or to escape mosquitos. The open deck is wonderful for an open air dinner by the grill. The firepit landing is perfect for late night lounging and star gazing and the dock is the SPOT for sunsets. We fell in love with this home right away and have never looked back.

What makes this property unique

This property is in a wonderful spot on the lake - near deep water and the dam- and we would be happy to recommend boat rentals or jet ski rentals as well.
