Lovely property. Walk to the water is uneven with lots of small stumps so be careful, but definitely worth the walk for that view and fun in the water! Lots of space to spread out in the house.

Thank you so much for your thoughtful review! We're thrilled to hear you enjoyed the spacious layout of the home and made the most of the beautiful waterfront. We appreciate your note about the uneven path and stumps—it's a natural part of the landscape, but we’ll be sure to highlight it for future guests so they can come prepared. So glad the view and water fun made the walk worthwhile. We'd love to welcome you back anytime!

We absolutely loved being there. The house was amazing. We spent most of the time crabbing and fishing. At the end of the day it was nice to comeback and relax in the hot tub

Amazing family vacation

This home was a perfect getaway. With a pool, hot tub, dock, and shore area, it was a true gem. It was so easy to swim and do different things throughout the day with our toddler and baby. The house was beautiful on the inside too. Great kitchen and tons of space. I highly recommend this property.

House was awesome. Plenty of room for 3 families and the dogs. The fishing pier was a game changer for our family of fisherman and the kayaks were so much fun to use. This house has officially set the bar for our big family for all future trips. Thanks for letting us stay in your wonderful home!

Our family had an amazing time here. Beautiful home with a lake view, kitchen and house was really well equipped. We had a great time on the dock fishing and crabbing, made some smores around the firepit. The pool was cold so we really didn’t use it, but will definitely getting a pool warmer next time in the future if we’re going back in late September. Other than that everything else went smooth. Cindy was a great host. Thank you Cindy! We will definitely coming back in the near future!

Something for Everyone

The home, property grounds and amenities were perfect for our fall family vacation. We were blessed with fishing fortune (caught crabs, drums, spot, perch, trout) which kept EVERYONE on the docks for hours, The water was calm so several enjoyed kayaks, boards and beach. Pool and hot tub were convenient and in good shape! There were plenty of beds for the family and spaces (screened porch, deck, pool room) to spread out. We were pleasantly surprised and look forward to returning again to enjoy the peace and fun. Thank you!
