Lake House in Lay

We had an amazing time during our stay. We brought our boat and kayaks(the owners have their own available on the property also with an abundance of floats), grilled, and fished. The house is spacious and has tons of amenities and appliances (towels, linens, pots, pans, tvs, ect). It truly was a feeling of being home away from home. The area is very quiet and the decks make for an awesome morning and evening view of the lakes sunrise and sunset. We look forward to our next booking. The home owners made every aspect seamless.

Charming, Private Cabin w/ Perfect Hostess

The property was just as advertised. Secluded on a large private lot, on a private island, with breathtaking water views from every window. The property was perfectly clean and stocked with everything needed to prepare meals and never run out of things to do. The icing on the cake was how friendly and helpful our hostess was. I am confident when stating that there is no property on the site that is a better bargain than this. Go for it, you won’t be disappointed.
