Weekend Getaway
Loved the character of the house and the location is great — direct walking/golf cart path to the water. Our two dogs loved the yard and being able to swim. We saw lots of deer in the mornings and evening. Sunrises/sunsets were amazing. House was clean and comfortable! Thanks for sharing!

Our stay at the lakefront cottage was unforgettable and awesome. Mike, the host, was very friendly and let us use his golf-cart and kayaks. Having our own lake beach access and lots of shady green space made this stay amazing. We would love to stay here again sometime and will tell our friends about it. A great spot!

2 night stay
We had a wonderful time. The property and house were very well maintained and really clean. Everything we needed was there, dishes, grill, coffee maker, etc. Our favorite part was how quiet and peaceful it was sitting outside on the porch area or down by the water. Owner is an extremely nice guy and seems to go out of his way to welcome guest and make sure they enjoy their stay.

The stone lake house.
Absolutely beautiful, unique and peaceful. I really the picture album of the property with the work that was done to the house. Mike greeted us upon arrival showed us everything about the house and property. We had a couple of friends visit and they were so impressed they both said they wanted to rent it in the future.

Adorable cottage!
This stone, refurbished cottage is so quaint and peaceful on a large property that is water front. Michael the owner was so welcoming and let us use his golf cart to take the kids and all of our stuff back and forth to the lake. The cottage has everything we needed for our weekend stay! We had a great time and will be back!!!

We had a great time here. Quiet, close to the water, and plenty to do on the property. We fished, used kayaks, searched for arrow heads, and spent plenty of time in the water. Mike was responsive and let us use a golf cart to go to and from the "beach". That was great. We would definitely stay here again. Thanks for the stay!

Clean and comfortable rustic cabin
Great location on the water - felt like we were all alone. The property is great with plenty of space and lots of shade trees. All the amenities you need inside and out. The A/C kept up with the crazy June heat. The golf cart was a nice bonus with the lake level so low. Loved the outdoor shower! Gail was very friendly and let us know we could reach out for anything but we had everything we needed. Had a great time.

We came to get away from the businesses of life and this property delivered. We brought our dog who loved the lake and being able to roam free. Deer came to the yard every evening and morning. If I am ever in the area again I would definitely stay here.

Family fun at the lake!
This is our second time renting this property. It is such a special place. The property is beautiful. It’s right on the water so we enjoyed fishing, kayaking and swimming. It was a blast even though it rained a bit. I love the stone house which is surrounded by oaks and has a 180 degree view of the lake. It’s well equipped with everything we needed including a grill and lots of kitchen supplies. We will definitely stay here again.
