The name of the Vrbo stay “Destination Relaxation” lives up to the name. The place was clean comfortable, and had all necessary items you would need. It was an added plus that there were kayaks, stand up paddle board, paddle boat, floats, life jackets and much more. We had a great time enjoying the beautiful view.

My college roommates and I celebrated our 50th birthdays together with a girls weekend. This was a perfect location. We spent the weekend floating in the lake and crafting on the deck and singing by the fire. The house was clean, cozy and comfortable. Would absolutely recommend.

The name says it all! This property is amazing!! The views of the lake from the living room and dining area were just beautiful. The quiet neighborhood gave us the chance to really relax and enjoy our girls weekend! The fireplace and multiple outdoor seating areas are just an added bonus. Abi our host was fantastic!

We had a wonderful time, and the property was nothing less than perfect. The boathouse was a bonus and stocked with everything we could have wanted to enjoy time on and in the lake. We especially enjoyed the paddle boat. The house was well equipped for our needs, and the deck had a beautiful view.
