Our family was comfortable and had plenty of room to have space without being crowded. My teen boys loved using the paddle boat to go between both homes we’d rented for the weekend.
We spent a wonderful weekend at this clean and comfy house. It has everything you would need in a household and the owner Annette was amazing to accomodate us. Highly recommend!
Beautiful property on a gorgeous lake. With very helpful property managers.

We were in the area for a college graduation. This home was the perfect place for our family to stay and gather for a couple of days. Super smooth checkin. The house was very clean and well decorated. We loved our stay.

Wonderful property. Very clean & Very quiet during my stay. The owners made check in and check out painless and extremely easy. The downtown and beach club areas are within walking distance and are really cool :) , I definitely will be staying here again on any business or family trips.
Grace Place offered me and my loved ones a quiet retreat from life’s normal pace in a well-equipped, attractive cottage, located in a quiet and friendly neighborhood with lake access. The owners/managers do a great job in ensuring everything a guest could want/need is provided.
