Highly Recommend

My family and I stayed here for Thanksgiving this year and had a wonderful time. The property is spacious yet comfortable and cozy. The games and den were terrific bonuses for the kids. Both the neighborhood and lake were beautiful and quiet. The owners are kind and hospitable. We have no complaints or critiques. I hope you enjoy it as much as we did!

Lovely Lake House

Spent a long girl’s weekend at this lovely lake house and had a wonderful time. The house is comfortable, tastefully furnished, and well stocked with everything you need to enjoy your stay. Definitely would rent the house again!

Great house for a crowd!

We had a great time at this home. Branda was very responsive and the house was wonderful for our group of 8. It rained one of the days we were there, and we really enjoyed the downstairs area and being able to gather together and watch movies.

Excellent Property

We had a great time at this location. It was perfect for 12 of us staying with 4 adults, 6 teenagers, and 2 others, ages 10 and 7. The boat dock was greatly appreciated as we brought our boat with us. The kids were able to paddle board and use the swim mat provided by our hosts. Communication was excellent, check out super simple and no problems during our stay. Would definitely rent again!

40th birthday celebration

We had an amazing time at Camp Carola! We spent a few days there for my husband’s 40th birthday. We did one adult only day, one day with all the kids and then our last day was just with our family of 4. The house was the perfect location and had a great setup for everyone to hang out and relax. We did some kayaking, paddle boarding, fishing and swimming. The downstairs area was the perfect spot! The kids loved the bunk areas for them to sit and sleep. I enjoyed my quiet morning coffee on the deck and we love that the swim area was shaded most of the morning. With all the kids this was perfect especially since it was the hottest days of the year while we were there. We hope to make this a yearly trip! The hosts were awesome at communicating and answered all of my questions before we arrived. I definitely recommend staying!

Why they chose this property

We discovered this area while looking at new mountain biking locations - this area is a gem!

What makes this property unique

The views are gorgeous and the house is large enough to accommodate a weekend with friends - the separate apartment downstairs is a great bonus. The house has AMAZING access to everything we love: kayaking, mountain biking, hiking, and swimming...
