Absolutely beautiful home right on the lake. My family of 8 fit more than comfortably in this well appointed home. We cherished the sunroom and spent most of our time out there. We travel extensively and I wish every rental was like this. I would definitely stay here again and again!

This home is very beautiful! I’ve stayed at many different rentals and this place far surpasses them all. It’s decorated in a very nice lake theme and clean and cozy. Excellent lake view from basically every room. Very comfortable beds and bedding. The kitchen has everything you would need with a nice dining table looking out at the lake. There’s even paddle boards that convert into kayaks. We had a lot of fun with those. The host was great at replying back when we had questions. We would love to return here in the future

This lake house is absolutely beautiful! I can’t get over the breathtaking views of both the sunrises and sunsets. The inside of the home is inviting and cozy, and it truly feels like a home away from home. It’s fully equipped with everything you could possibly need—from well-stocked kitchen supplies like pots, pans, cups, and containers to essentials such as trash bags, paper towels, toilet paper, Q-tips, and more than enough bedding and pillows.It’s honestly one of the best B&B-style stays I’ve ever experienced. I especially loved having a washer and dryer, as well as the extra refrigerator in the garage. As someone with a big family, I know how much of a lifesaver having two fridges can be!Even though we stayed during the winter while the lake was frozen, I appreciated how many lake-related items the house offers. It’s clear this place is just as amazing in the summer, and my family and I are already planning to come back then.The host was absolutely wonderful with communication. I had a special request, and they went above and beyond to make it happen. I truly can’t recommend this place enough—an outstanding stay all around!
Such beautiful sunsets
