So sorry your trip included a water outage for the entire lake that was out of my control. I’m glad we were able to help in a way that was in our control.

The house met our needs. The boat dock is a hike. It looks pretty cool but no rails and lots of sharp rocks.

Beautiful lakefront home in an unbeatable location. It's just steps from the water and minutes from nearby outdoor attractions, making it perfect for a relaxing getaway. The house offers plenty of space for larger groups, with a thoughtful layout that makes it easy to gather or spread out comfortably. The real highlight is the view: whether you’re enjoying your morning coffee or unwinding at sunset, the scenery over the lake is genuinely stunning and makes the entire stay feel like a retreat.

75th Birthday Vacation

Our stay was my gift to my husband for his 75th birthday. We shared our visit with some of his siblings. It was one of the best vacations we have ever taken. The property was just beautiful, especially the sunset every evening. The accommodations were perfect! Will definitely consider for another visit!
