Nice place

Clean, well equipped and everything in working order. Some fun games downstairs for rainy days. Great views from the house. Quiet, less lake traffic than further down. In the summer, algae may be a problem in this part of the lake. Wifi is weak.

Lewis Family Vacation

We took our parents on this short vacation- the home was accommodating to our 60-70 year old parents and still created a fun environment on the lake for our kids (14 and 22) to enjoy as well. We love the seclusion and that we were able to bring our dogs - who also looooovvveed swimming in the lake! Thank you for providing and sharing a wonderful home with our family!!

Love this location!

We love staying at this property! We've stayed here before and will stay again. We were definitely disappointed in some of the cleanliness this year. It didn't appear as though the sheets were changed. The clean linens were on the front porch for our entire stay but we didn't realize that they were there for our stay until the day we left. The sheets on 2 of the beds were full of dog hair. We don't fault the owners at all...they have definitely made upgrades from last year. We won't hesitate to stay here again in the future.

Great get away

We stayed and the property for 4 nights and had a blast. The kids loved the lake front and enjoyed the evening fire pit. Very clean and modern farm house stay. Highly recommend to any family who wants to get away and enjoy the lake.

"Family Christmas and Birthday" Gathering

A central place to gather for a family weekend to celebrate Christmas and birthdays for 4 generations to meet for dinner and 3 generations to stay for a few days. The rooms were far enough apart that babies didn't wake up the others. Room enough for all the activities we had planned. Very clean and outfitted with just the basics needed which was great that we didn't have to hover over the younger children to ensure things didn't get broken or moved around. We had a great time!

Beautiful weekend getaway

The location was beautiful as well as the home nice getaway to enjoy family for a couple days. We spent two nights to spend family/friend time for my daughters 17 th birthday we are local I teach at the local high school down the road but it was a nice opportunity to go to an area not crowded and enjoy each other Only negative was we did not bring a pump to inflate our floats so spent a while blowing them up and lots of bugs on patio so bring bug repellent and candles Beautiful sunset opportunities

Beautiful house

The house was beautiful. Great amount of room, we had nine adults and no one felt cramped. There are quite a bit of flies and bugs around the property but it’s just the way it is. the only issue I had with the property was the beds are very uncomfortable. All in all, though a great place to have some fun and memories made.

Fun property and great time!

This huge waterfront property offers amazing views of the sunset and we enjoyed our meals grilled on the large deck. The Good wifi allowed me to work when I had to. Kids had the best time with the on site kayaks and paddle boat. The House was very clean with everything we needed.

A perfect retreat

We loved staying at this house again, in its perfect setting and equipped with everything we need for water sports, long walks, and watching sunsets from the dock. Kitchen was well-equipped and beds were comfortable. Very clean, well-maintained, too.

A weekend getaway

It was 10 of us, 6 adults and 4 teens and we all loved how clean and inviting this home was. I gave it a 4 star due to the beds being not super comfortable for my liking and there were a lot of bugs and spider web everywhere on the outside of the home. We had to sweep the entry way, the outside walls and the deck area where the chairs were to get rid of the spider web and the bugs. I think a house keeping team should have done that prior to our arrival. Other than that it was such a wonderful place with a beautiful lake view, and well equipped kitchen as well as the fire pit which we enjoyed a lot. I would stay again without a doubt.

Absolutely amazing house right on the lake.

Everything about this house was perfect. The view of the lake is fantastic, the lawn is enormous, and the property is located at the end of the road with no immediate neighbors in sight. The house was extremely well appointed, and everything was clean as a whistle when we arrived. The kitchen was extremely well appointed, and a pleasure to use - the only thing we couldn't find was a can opener ;) 10/10, will definitely come back for a longer stay!
