This was one of the best VRBO rentals I’ve ever reserved. It was perfect for our large family’s and the most beautiful space for our daughter’s engagement. The space was so well thought out and everything the owners provided was amazing. We will be back.

Absolutely the best lake house stay! We just had it for a long weekend but DEFINITELY will book for a week next time! They have thought of everything! So thoughtful with everything ! The back screened in porch was one of my favorites! To see the sun come up over the lake was much needed! The boat dock was amazing! We brought kayaks and they had some too! You will NOT be disappointed! Thank you for sharing your home! We WILL be back!
