Hideaway at Turtle Rock - secluded cove and year-round water!

"Hideaway at Turtle Rock"
3 bedrooms, 2 full baths. Sleeps 12 in beds. 12 maximum occupancy.

Tucked away in a secluded cove and guarded by what the owners call “Turtle Rock,” this hidden gem offers stunning, crystal-blue deep water year-round. The calm, smooth waters are perfect for kayaking, paddleboarding, floating on lily pads, or simply relaxing on your favorite water toys (all provided—just bring your life jackets).

Enjoy excellent fishing and endless opportunities for exploration, making it an ideal getaway for families and outdoor lovers alike. Gather around the fire pit in the evenings for s’mores and stories under the stars, or start your mornings on the screened-in porch with a cup of coffee and breathtaking water views all around you.

There are games galore to keep everyone entertained—outdoor darts, giant Jenga, and just about every card game, movie, and board game you can imagine. Just bring yourself and your clothes—we’ll handle the rest!

Despite its peaceful, private setting, you’re only a quick 10-minute drive from the heart of Arley—a charming small town with everything you need. You’ll find a local grocery store, cozy coffee shops, an ice cream stop, restaurants, and a community park featuring a playground, pickleball, and tennis courts.

Great stay

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was more than satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: As the title states we had a great stay. House is in a great location on the lake. We had rain most of the time we were there but still was able to take the jet ski's out each day and everyone had a great time. We had one issue with a bed that is a sleep number bed and one of the air bladders was flat and would not air up. I reached out to the manager of the property and in 45 mins they had a guy onsite and he was able to correct the issue. So this speaks to great service. Thank you for a great stay.
