Beautiful house to stay for a little get away with the entire family

Had a lot of fun, definitely plenty of activities for adults and children to do to keep entertained, just a little bit of a drive to a grocery store and a minor issue with the hot tub needing some attention, but other than that it was a great place to stay.

Wonderful property for family

Home was clean and well stocked with everything needed. Water trampoline was a big hit with the kids, as were the games in the garage. Baby gates on the main level (inside) and both house decks made it easy to relax with a toddler and pet. Highly recommend.

Such a Relaxing stay!

The property had everything we needed for my parents, siblings and our kids to come visit with Family! The house fit everyone comfortably, had everything we needed to keep us entertained with games, outside attractions and plenty of fishing. we loved the big kitchen for meals at home! The only time we had to leave was to go to the grocery store which is conveniently close for the area. We will definitely be back!

Terrific week at Sunset Paradise!

Sunset Paradise is a terrific place for a summer vacation. There were fourteen of us and every person said they had a great time. Suset Paradise, besides having beautiful sunsets, has just about everything you could ask for being comfortable and having fun. The swimming was great and there was plenty of entertaining equipment around the boathouse. Favorites were the water trampoline and the water boards. Also the pontoon boat. We enjoyed fires in the fire pit at night and many enjoyed relaxing in the jacuzzi. The owners responded promptly whenever we had anything that needed fixing. I highly recommend Sunset Paradise for a splendid vacation.

If I had it to do over, I wouldn't change a thing! Location is terrific, kid and pet friendly, all the toys you need on site, fire pit and wood right there, huge hot tub, and all the amenities you would expect and more inside the house. Our group of 9 adults and 4 children rated the experience as terrific and we made wonderful memories we'll cherish forever.

Perfect for our family

This home was an ideal fit for our family. Days were spent lakeside, with the top deck of the dock being a favorite spot, and the kids thoroughly enjoying the trampoline. Evenings were cherished on the expansive seating of the top deck, soaking in breathtaking sunsets. The communication with the property manager was exceptional throughout our reservation process and entire stay. Since it's near mile marker 1, we enjoyed a quieter part of the lake. Few low boat traffic all week long, which was great for wakeboarding, tubing, kayaking, etc. I enthusiastically recommend this home if it aligns with your family's requirements.
