Eagles Nest - Lay Lake

The owner, Scott, was super helpful and friendly. This property exceeded our expectations as photos, typically, distort the true property. This property did not. It was relaxing and provided a great experience.

Hands down, the best place to stay!

The house, the property, and the hosts far surpassed our expectations when it came to renting. The house is even more beautiful and wonderful in person. The moment we walked in we were in shock of just how lovely this place was. The hosts went above and beyond to make sure we had what we needed and were great at communication. All the personal touches from the bucket of snacks to the cut firewood- we could not have had a better place. The kitchen/living room was perfect for having our family come over for a bbq. The arcade game was awesome for my teenage godson (and us!) we even got to take the paddle boat out and watched the sunset. Highly recommend if you’re looking for the perfect vacation spot. Definitely will go back!!
