Charlotte Oasis

What a great spot. Photos don’t do it justice. Open floor plan on first floor, whole place tidy and comfortable. Such a private and relaxing view above the lake, from two different levels, the patio, and then the large upper deck. We saw turtles, heron, fireflies, and the fish were jumping. There’s a covered portion of the dock with a picnic table, and a separate floating dock with a swim ladder. Jumping in the lake is recommended!

Overall it was a sweet place to stay. When it described steps, there are lots of steps. I handled them well yet my wife has balance issues which posed minimal problems. She's used to it. Located at the end of the road and although obvious, the house mumber took a bit to locate. Be careful parking. No 'curbside' parking stops. Use better judgment than me!!! Instructions for locating included items very detailed and located on the refrigerator. They are a good immediate read. Need power plug in outside sitting area or i just didn’t locate it. Lighting diagram would make locating specific lights but there's not too many switches most can navigate easily enough. It was quite and peaceful for us. It was our 34th wedding anniversary. You are not far from civilization if anything is needed and many close by choices for eating out. Im sure we will be back!
Looking at the home from the dock.
Dining on the dock for near water enjoyment.
The beach area but not the best shot!

Perfect Lake Getaway

The house is really cute! Decorated stocked well with necessities. It was the perfect location right on the lake. We did not get a chance to use the patio around that over looks the lake but it has these amazing rocking chairs on. I was so impressed with the bed I am on the hunt for a bed just like it for home. It was everything we could have asked for and we will definitely be back.
