Our group stayed at this property for 3 nights and really enjoyed our stay. It’s located in a convenient part of the lake and the space was great for our group. We would stay here again.
It truly was a retreat. More like a cottage full of warmth and welcomes you as you enter. The boat ramp was a huge plus for my fisherman husband. We are returning in March.

Thanks so much, Deborah! We’re glad you both liked enjoyed your time here, and look forward to your return! For other fishermen and boaters, the boat ramp here is accessible and usable year round, even with lower lake levels.
Perfect little house for our weekend getaway. Boys loved their own space in the detached cottage. Cove was perfect for us and the water sports we planned.

We’re thrilled that you enjoyed your stay with family!! Love to have you back whenever you can!
We loved the house. Clean, up to date, comfortable, well decorated, plenty of room, convenient with boat ramp and dock. Hosts very responsive and accommodating. Will definitely want to come back.
We loved the location and the convenience of being on the main highway. The home has beautiful decor, it's comfortable in every way, and they thought of everything you would need for your "home away from home." I'd recommend this get-away to a couple like us or for a family with kids. It was a great find for us!
pictures accurately describe this rental. beautiful house few feet from lake. convenient to local restaurants. everything about it is 5-stars.

Such A Great Place to Stay!
This lake house is absolutely where you want to stay! The house itself is so inviting & comfortable. The decorating is off the charts. Outside, there are many options. A covered patio, a lounging area with umbrella, fire pit with chairs, and a very nice dock to fish on. We really enjoyed our stay & will definitely be back!
Our family stayed at the property for a few days to relax and be out on our boat. We enjoyed the ease of puting our boat on and off the trailer at the property and to have a dock to tie up to. The house was the perfect size and the screen porch was an added bonus. Thanks for responding to our questions. We will be back

We love the launch for boats! Glad you were able to use it. And happy you enjoyed the place well enough that you will be back! We will live having you.
Loved our stay and would return. House was adorable and accommodated us well. Backyard was level and grassed. Not like many homes on the lake that you have to walk up and down steep hills or stairs. Brought our boat and kept it in the water the whole time. Boat ramp on-site was super convenient. We have a 21’ bay boat with no ttop and we did not fit under the Hwy 49 bridge by about 8”. The marina across the road would not let us launch there as we were not dry dock customers. So we launched at Union Boat Ramp to access the rest of the lake. That ramp is about 10-15 min away. Outside of that minor inconvenience the house was great!

From the owner: "Hi Josh, we’re so glad to hear you enjoyed your stay at Quack of Dawn! Thank you for your feedback. We do try to alert our guests about the bridge clearance in the listing’s "Additional Information" section, as boat sizes can vary widely. We’ll look into additional nearby public ramps to accommodate our guests. It’s wonderful to know the home, yard, and on-site boat ramp worked well for you. We would love to welcome you back for another stay!"
This lakefront home was perfect for our family of four. The home was immaculately clean and was beautifully decorated with a coastal vibe. The beds were also very comfortable and the kitchen had everything we needed. The pier and lake are literally just a few steps. We can’t wait to return!
