Comfortable home with great lakefront access. Easy check-in. Kitchen updated and included a great soft-ice maker. Lots of outdoor furniture for lounging, but could have been cleaner. Overall, very enjoyable.

My family and I were so impressed by how open & inviting it was as well as fully stocked with everything you might need during your stay. We all felt at home there and it was so easy to relax and enjoy our time. I absolutely loved when I walked in and the host had instructions and WiFi info posted up real nice by the front door. Even though the weather wasn't that great while we were there we still spent some time down at the water because it was so beautiful & peaceful out there. We are definitely planning on booking again and will encourage others to go and stay as well.

Wonderful space

This house was a great location for us to settle into after a memorial service. We were able to fish and swim with family in celebration of our lost patriarch. The house was clean and inviting. We settled in and it was the perfect amount of space for us. The kids loved swimming and spent every hour they could in the water. The host is very communicative. She reached out ahead of our stay to send condolences and ask if we needed anything. We would love to come back again!

Our family had such a wonderful stay at The Lake House. The dock is amazing & we spent hours and hours out there with the kiddos. They had an absolute blast. The house is so charming. The bedrooms were perfect. We all slept like babies. The house comes with everything you could need and more. We will definitely be back again.
