Peaceful and qaint with beautiful views

The atmosphere was comfortable for our family of 3 and it was a bonus that we were able to bring our dog. The deck is a perfect place to sit and take in the lake views. The lake was clean and our son had a great time swimming. We enjoyed fishing and caught a fair share of bass and bluegill. The kayaks were a fun addition too.

This really is a slice of heaven on fish lake. This property is perfect for a couples getaway. My favorite part is the hot tub overlooking the lake view. This property is on a quiet street. It was awesome for walking our dog. The neighbors are friendly. It's just a short drive to Centreville or Sturgis for and needs. I would highly recommend staying here, and I hope to come back in the future.

Wow. Everything you need at your fingertips. This one bedroom is the perfect getaway spot. We loved the house, especially the stocked kitchen, the king bed, and of course the amazing outdoor setup. The hot tub, the lake, the view were spectacular. This house has it all. The owner is super friendly and answered all our questions right away.

We had such a nice, relaxing time. The home is beautiful & cozy. We LOVED the decor & listening to some amazing records. The outdoor space is just perfect, shady in the morning & the beautiful sunset right out the back over the lake in the evening. The hot tub was so relaxing at night. The lake was clear & warm to wade in. Next time we’ll have to look into rentals to get out on the water! The kitchen had everything we needed to cook all our meals while we were there. Tate’s response to a question was quick & helpful. Thank you for being dog-friendly, as well. Hoping we’ll be able to return in the future!

The house is beautiful, clean and cozy. We enjoyed the lake views from the back porch, relaxed in the hot tub, went swimming in the lake, kayaked and went on a few walks. We brought our dog and he also enjoyed the scenery with us. Tate was easy to communicate with and he was available for any questions we had. The kitchen had all the things we needed. Refrigerator, stove top, oven, microwave, keurig, plates, cups, utensils, dishwasher. On site washer and dryer, extra blankets and towels.

This property is excellent. It has everything you need (unlike many vacation rentals nowadays). We grilled burgers, played fetch with our dog in the lake, watched the sunset, made lamb ragu, watched the World Cup games, played Grateful Dead on the record player, had a fire, and used the hot tub. I don't think I've stayed anywhere as perfect as this spot!
