Great Lake House with View
We loved the lake, the house, the deck, the view -- everything! It is by far the best vacation rental we've ever had, and we have stayed in condos in Colorado and many states in between. If you can get this booking, take it, so you can enjoy the lake views, too.

Just Amazing!
This is my third stay at this location and I’ve loved it every time. It is more beautiful in person than the pictures show. It is quiet, secluded, clean and so relaxing! David, the host, is one of the friendliest people I’ve ever met. He is always responsive to texts and calls, and is a pleasure to talk to.

Great get away
Property is better than advertised. Very comfortable, great views and welcoming. Very nice property for one or two couples. Coffee on the dock in the morning is hard to beat. Mentioned and showed the unit to some “locals”. They thought it was a real find

Wonderful home!
Second time staying at this beautiful home! My husband and I enjoyed every moment here! Sunsets are beautiful! Fished off the dock and watched all the wildlife. We seen deer, osprey, and a beautiful red fox! Home is well stocked with all the amenities. You could not ask for a nicer host! Thanks again to David!

Relaxing lake stay
My husband and I really enjoyed our stay here. David is a great host who is a available to answer questions and made our stay wonderful. The lake view is very special. Sunsets are beautiful! The area is very quiet. We liked walking the neighborhood each day and being greeted by friendly neighbors. Oh and the bed was super comfy! It’s about a 25 minute drive to Lexington on Main Street where there are some good restaurants. We also liked Twisted Roots Bar and Grill.

Great vacation lake house
Located within 20-30 minutes of many restaurants and shopping. Just 10 minutes from 378 Bar & Grill (good food). Short ride across the lake to Dreher Island for short hikes if interested. Also, the neighbor is safe and is great for walking. Although we were there on July 4th, the lake was not crowded. The home was very clean and stocked with all we needed for our stay. The private dock was awesome. We only had to put our boat in once and left it tied up at the dock our entire stay until ready to come home. David is an awesome host and was always available before and during our stay! Thank you David!!! Great place to kick back and just relax.

Paradise on earth
It was very relaxing. I fely like i was home in the Virgin Islands. The owner is so loving and kind and takes care of all your needs. Its a home away from home and i will never stop coming here for my weekend getways. This has really been a healing process for me as I am fighting cancer. David has been such a blessing to me and my family. My shower was so amazing, i didnt want to get out. Thanks again for such an amazing stay! And i just loved my panoramic view looking out at nature from my bedroom and basically any room in the home. My favorite part of the trip was watching nature from my room. So beautiful!

Simply Beautiful & Peaceful
This is the best vacay we've had in a very long time! The owner was so nice and accommodating! He made us feel so special! My husband and I brought my mom who is currently fighting stage 4 cancer and she truly enjoyed herself. Being able to watch the beauty of nature from the comfort of her room or the amazing deck was a big plus to her. And having the opportunity of all of us fishing on the beautiful serene set up was amazing! This is truly a home away from home. Mr. David provided all the amenities we needed and even included a welcome basket with wine. He really made us feel like family and put our mind at ease and was available 24/7 if we had any questions. This is definitely our new vacay spot!! And we have been telling all our friends and family about it! Can't wait to come back to this mini paradise!!! Mr. David thank you so much for everything! Mom will definitely keep talking about this trip! She is still thanking me, so in turn I am truly truly thankful to you for making this the most perfect vacay ever! We needed this more than you know. Words cannot express our appreciation!
