The house and location were fantastic, especially for a group of kayaking/fishing enthusiasts. Host communication was excellent and friendly. Hoping to make a return trip as I'd really like to bring my family back here next summer.
we had a beautiful week. the water amenities add a great experience. the kids had a blast on the frog pad, kayaks and paddle boat. the house was super clean and easy to navigate
This house was immaculate with so many amazing things to do! You could spend all day here and not get bored. The owners provided so many amenities to make your stay enjoyable. I have never had a kitchen so well stocked! Best house ever!
We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at the lakehouse. It was clean with a starter kit containing everything we needed for our first day. We really enjoyed using the Kayaks and paddle board and just enjoying how peaceful the lake is during the week. Our Hosts routinely checked in to make sure we had what we needed and they were always quick to respond to our questions.
Best Vacation…The house was so comfortable. Everything you need is right there. The kitchen has everything. We only left the property to get Groceries and Out to dinner once. Our family ages 14 - 73 could always find something fun to do.
My friends and I spent a long weekend at Wendy's house and everything about the stay was perfect. From the location being right on the lake, to the amenities inside and outside the house, we thoroughly enjoyed our stay. I cannot recommend the space enough and we look forward to returning in the future!
Absolutely fantastic property. Exactly as advertised and location and all amenities were great. Wendy was incredibly responsive and thoughtful and entire process was amazing. Our group had a wonderful stay and would highly recommend!

We had some employees stay here as we were on a work trip. Great house, clean, had everything we needed. Hosts gave us all the info in a timely fashion. I would def recommend.
We had about eight men, 40+ for two nights and there was plenty of space for us all to have a bed and we really enjoyed ourselves. The house was great and the games in the garage or a lot of fun.
We spent an amazing few days at this property with our two teenage sons. They loved the upstairs area with bedrooms and huge tv. We all enjoyed the game room. It’s a very quiet street and the lake was quiet and peaceful — very few power boats. The property was very well stocked and clean. We would love to come back!! Note that one bedroom and full bath are downstairs and the other bedrooms and full bath are upstairs.
This location and lake were awesome. There were games for the kids, water toys, Kayaks, Paddle Boat, Canoe, and the Kid Favorite Frog Pad!
The home was clean and stocked and very comfortable and clean.
We had a Wasp Nest issue, and Wendy and the maintenance team jumped right on it and saved the day.
I highly recommend renting from Wendy, you won't be disappointed!
Well appointed, clearly newly updated. Bedrooms were on first and second floors which made it easier for couples, because the bathrooms were not in the bedrooms. It’s a beautiful property that I’m sure is wonderful year round. The only complaint was the garage was so cold we couldn’t utilize it.
We stayed here with 9 people over a weekend, and the place was amazing. My best friend is getting married soon and we decided on this listing, and honestly everything about it was awesome. Plenty of games to play, a huge TV upstairs that we used to watch the UFC fight. Everything was clean and the hosts were more than accommodating and nice. The view is amazing in the morning. Definitely recommend this place if you are hesitating, it was a great weekend that I don't think we'll forget.
This place exceeded my expectation. This place is not clean, its CleannnnnNNNNNN. A major difference. My family and i enjoyed our stay. The host is top notch. We wanted for nothing. The community is so quiet and peaceful. I am a customer for life. We officially named this place our vacation home. OMG! Such a wonderful place. Look no more this is the place for you.
We can’t wait to return to this lake house! Everything is exactly how described (but better). Well appointed, gorgeous house with plenty of room and things to do. The Kitchen was great to cook in, everything we needed was right there. Beds are a plenty and very comfortable. Being right on the lake.. we took advantage of it with all the “toys” available for use. The kayaks, Canoe, frog pad were all loved, and evenings were spent by the fire or bonding over pool. Everything was perfect!
I took 10 girlfriends to this fabulous house for a long weekend. One has mobility issues, and the first floor bedroom with the bath with walk-in shower was so helpful. The house is stocked with everything you could need, and very clean! The beds were comfortable, and there was plenty of room for everyone. The Lucky Duck lake house provided the setting for a perfect weekend with friends! I hope to bring my family back for a weekend, and the we already planning our next girls weekend there! Wendy and Mark were great with communication.
