Thanksgiving Week at the Lake
Another fantastic winter stay at Lake Owassa - the house has great spaces for a group with pool table, air hockey and outside firepit. Kitchen is great for cooking at home- the view is amazing and the area is quiet. Magical. We will be back.

Awesome for sportsmen.
My cousins and I come to the area for our annual hunting trip once per year. Although we don’t hunt as much any more we still enjoy the area. The house was great. Large pool table gave us hours of fun. My cousins cast a line off the dock and caught a variety of perch and bass. All in all a great guys weekend.

Active families . .this is your spot
If you are a young active family this is a great spot for you. Much to do even kayaks and such available. We are older and just needed a place to lay our heads as we were here for a wedding. It served our purpose. If you are older as well just note that there are many steps that are hard to negotiate -- like a spiral to the downstairs and many to the dock

Great place for family
We enjoyed our family get together which is located ten minutes from the house my grandparents owned and my aunts and uncles grew up in. We enjoyed the kayaks and paddle boards and the fire pit. The house was large, clean, and very comfortable. I hope to visit again. It was a pleasure dealing with this family as they were so responsive to all our questions.

We love Lake Owassa
We've been visiting this lake for years and love the tranquility and enjoyment it has to offer. This home was perfect for our family. There is so much space to spend time together, but teenagers also had plenty of privacy. We enjoyed using the kayaks and paddleboards, but mostly just relaxing in the water. Thank you once again for your hospitality, We will definitely be back again soon.

Comfortable house on quiet lake…great views
We stayed for 16 days and had various family members join us at assorted times. The house was perfect for us. We enjoyed coffee on the deck, reading on the dock, kayaking, floating on the water tubes, and wine in the fire pit area. When it rained…which unfortunately it did a lot, we made use of the pool table and air hockey. The location is on a quiet dead end road and because the lake is private boat traffic was limited….even over the long July 4th weekend. Denise and Richard responded quickly to any questions we had. Several good restaurants within 3 miles and a few deliver. Great place for relaxing and a quiet get away.

Thanksgiving on the Lake
I enjoyed an amazing week on the lake with my family during Thanksgiving week. Huge amounts of space for family and guests in any weather. Big comfortable beds with lots of amenities. Quiet and beautiful surroundings. Looking forward to booking my next stay.
