Lake stays are meant to be long and relaxing--listen to the birds while you sit lakeside and sip your morning coffee. Work from home with our dedicated workspace and great WiFi. Enjoy our low weekday rates with generous seven or thirty day discounts.

Lake vacations--aren't they the best!
There's plenty of room to park cars in the carport and your boat or trailer fits beside the house. The POA boat launch is just a two minute walk from the house and is next to their safe swimming area. Once launched, park your boat in the boat slip in our backyard. Sit under our umbrella and catch catfish in our cove or launch our kayaks (four of them) or our paddle board right there. We have lifejackets in a brown chest by the back porch.
We've got great WiFi and a huge TV for your enjoyment and you can use your favorite apps like Netflix and Disney. We’ve filled the house with games, toys, books, movies, lawn games, puzzles and everything we could squeeze in, making it the best place on the lake for family fun.
Group meals are especially nice at our huge dining table! Seating for 10 or more! For casual meals, there are tables in the sunroom and on the porch. We have a high chair for your baby, plus baby gates, a pack-n-play and changing table equipment for your wee ones.
You'll find our kitchen fully equipped with all the appliances you'll need plus the gas grill on the porch. Bring your telescope for nighttime stargazing from our upper deck or make S’mores by the fire. You'll want to book at least a week to experience all the fun!
