Loved the house! The lake is down so you do have to walk a little to get in the water. But the place was amazing! Loved the small details like the food pantry and lots of kitchen stuff.

Great property! We didn’t get to take advantage of any of the lake activities since we were just sleeping there in between cheer comps, but it was clean, comfortable and easy to get to. Thanks so much!

Weekend Get Away

We had planned a shopping weekend in Canton and were overjoyed with this property! We left early in the morning and the drive was only 30 minutes or so. It was the cleanest VRBO I have ever stayed in. Beautiful views of the lake and games galore. Would highly recommend this property for families and couples alike.

Great Place!

We had a great stay! We had 3 kids ranging from 1-6 and all had so much fun! The house was super clean and actually had a lot of amenities that were super helpful. Community pantry is a great idea for those little things you only use once probably forgot, like spices and oils. And the game closet had a lot of fun

Peaceful weekend

We had a fantastic stay at the Reel Deal! Check in/out was smooth, and the neighborhood was quiet with friendly neighbors. My boys loved the fishing dock and caught about 5 fish every night.The house was nice and clean and Melissa was a great host. We will be back this summer!

Perfect for Our Purpose!

The Reel Deal was selected for our annual sibling reunion. The home is very spacious, the kitchen is very well stocked and equipped, and the extra food items and fixings in the pantry were great! The deck was a perfect spot for an outside meal. I enjoyed the dock immensely, and even caught a fish!

Every Day is a Vacay and Nights are S'more Fun!

Staying at this cozy waterfront retreat was a delight! From the moment we arrived, we felt its unique character, warmth and hospitality. Everything here is immaculately clean and well-maintained. The owners clearly put a lot of thought into making sure that guests have everything they need for a comfortable stay. There is no shortage of fun activities to enjoy! We spent our days on the lake or fishing off the private dock - and our evenings playing yard games and gathering around the fire pit to make s'mores and stargaze. We can't wait to come back and create more memories in this fun and special place!
