So Perfect
It was incredible! The perfect place for a family/friends summer vacation! The house is roomy so all are comfy! Surrounded by the lake! Water toys, boat, peaceful setting, fishing, nice kitchen with everything we needed, clean and so much more! Thank you, Micah! See you next year😊
We stayed Wednesday through Monday and had a great experience! The house was perfect for our family of 6 plus 1 for one night. We could have slept more for sure. The property is in a wonderful location. It's 2 minutes from low water, maybe 30 minutes by boat to Paradise Point Restaurant. Can't say enough good things about the communication from the host. We rented a jet ski for the weekend along with the pontoon boat that we brought, and the grandbabies had a blast! Hope to make this a tradition!
This was my 6th stay here and I will continue to come back for key reasons: value of property and an awesome host. Micah always makes sure the home and property are perfect.
We had an absolutely wonderful experience staying here and can’t recommend it enough. Before our arrival, we reached out to ask about the possibility of an early check-in, and they were incredibly accommodating. And allowed us to check in early at no extra charge. The house was adorable, spotless, and so comfortable, and the peaceful view made our stay even more relaxing. We truly enjoyed every moment and are already looking forward to coming back again!
Micah and the home are absolutely awesome. I've stayed here several times and it's great to see the home only improve through time with upkeep and maintenance. The location is great and the fishing was as well.
I love this place. The home is always spotless and I love fishing Lay lake. Micah is a genuine person with a great heart. I have stayed here many times now and the upkeep is spot on.
Great house, lots of room, comfortable beds, large dining room. Owner communication was great. On site property manager, Robin, was extremely helpful. Stocked kitchen, large back porch and yard to enjoy the lake. Charcoal grill with charcoal provided. Boat dock and parking is shared with the house next door. Home is at the end of a campground, so there is no street parking. Recommend!
This place is better than advertised! The lake and weather were beautiful and had a great week fishing. The host is wonderful to work with and makes sure you are taken care of. Can't wait to come back...
This place was amazing! Great location on the lake, the house was huge, and had a great layout. The game tables in the garage kept the kids busy for hours when they were done in the water.
