Great vacation spot

The property was great for our small family to stay for the holiday. The location is beautiful and close enough to a store that it wasnt a huge trek to get anything we needed plus the host had the home really well stocked with essentials. We enjoyed our short stay and communicating with the host was easy!

We rented the house for a long weekend at the lake for the whole family, 6 adults and 2 children. The house was perfect, very comfortable and had everything we needed. We loved it and would rent it again.

Wonderful property!But don’t plan on using all the towels or getting anything dirty as the host will charge you extra.

Response from VrboOwner on 26 Aug 2025
The guest wasn’t charged anything as of yet even though we had much additional cleaning, a broken garbage disposal, a broken Wi-Fi sign, and other things damaged. The guests who booked this property also had her daughter’s staying there (& 3 kids who were not listed on the reservation) and she wasn’t even there so she doesn’t know what went on. Check out rules were not followed…& we even arranged for them to check in early with no additional fees. I would not recommend this guest at this point. It is sad what happened to our property…very disrespectful. I wish I could post pictures here of the damages…

I grew up on the lake - happy to come back and stay close to the old house. The owner was helpful and responsive. Plenty of space to park. Large kitchen table and kitchen. Used the basement living room to watch a movie as a family. 3 queen rooms with 3 bedrooms - the two downstairs are queen bunks. Thanks so much for letting us stay - was a great trip!

Mama Jen's Review

We've literally stay in homes around the world and I can tell you that I've never stayed in a home that provided better accomodations ever. Everything has been thought out and was provided for us. Games, electronics, linens, kitchen tools, children accessories, etc.; everything was there and you wanted for nothing.Communications was outstanding and the host was friendly and even extended services to me and my family.I would stay here a thousand times over and you should too.What an awesome, awesome place.

About the host

Host profile image
We are a busy farm family who loves to visit the lake when we have a chance which is not very often! We purchased this home a few months ago from a friend who lost her husband who had put his heart and soul into making this the perfect getaway!! We were glad we could make the purchase and continue making family memories as we know that would have been his wishes!! We truly love hearing others stories of the memories they get to make at our lake home!!

Why they chose this property

The home is located back in the cove right out on the lake and is very quiet and private however it is just a 2 minute drive or bike or boat ride to the marina, Nautical Rose, and prices rentals. The home has a dock for visitors to fish off of or launch their boat from.

What makes this property unique

Our home features three full bedrooms and three full bathrooms. It is fully set up with anything a family could need! The home was newly built in 2020 and started as a vacation rental in 2021.
