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.
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!
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.
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.
The layout of the house is impressive! There is so much space in each room and the bedrooms are strategically spread out. The view is beautiful and you feel secluded. There are so many options on how to spend your time. The s’more supplies and firewood were a nice touch. We thoroughly enjoyed it.

Beautiful, peaceful vacation
This property is nothing less than amazing. The host has everything you need to relax on the lake. We will most definitely be back as soon as we can.
What a beautiful home! Very comfortable and well appointed. Mattress was very comfy. Views are second to none. Very good communication with the Host as well. Would definitely recommend and will be staying here again in the future. The outside windows do need to be cleaned, but I would imagine it's hard to keep them clean 100% of the time, so not that big of a deal.

Wonderful stay!
Perfect for our family vacation. Beautiful home with plenty of space on a beautiful, quiet lake. Everyone we spoke to or dealt with was super nice and helpful. Would definitely stay again! Pontoon rental was a great addition too!
Wonderful surroundings inside and outside with room for kids and adults to enjoy grilling marshmallow roasting, the pontoon, kayaking,., fishing, tubing and the beautiful scenery and wildlife!
We had a great stay at Saleh Manor, enjoying the views, peace and quiet, and all the convenient amenities. Our dogs loved the pace too! The property is well stocked and the hot was very helpful. Definitely a great place for families of all sizes!
This property was perfect for our family! Gorgeous inside and out. Kids and adults had a great time fishing, boating, tubing, playing pool. Everything needed was available. Lake view from every window in the house just about. Stunning!!! We would definitely rent again. Thank you for sharing your gorgeous lake home!
