This house was more than we could ask for it’s right on the water and has everything you could possibly forget handy! A all around, great place to enjoy nature and spend time with family and friends. Super straightforward didn’t need to ask the host any questions Will be booking here again!
This home is so adorable! Very clean. 4 bedrooms and 2 baths are a plus. Great location...beautiful view of the lake.

Beautiful lakeside home
What a wonderful well loved home. The host was gracious sharing a well stocked kitchen and equipment for using the lake. It's so common now for rental homes to barely have salt and this home felt like home. We enjoyed our long weekend relaxing, boating and swimming. If you are planning out space for your guests, know that the two smaller bedrooms upstairs are walk through - you walk through the one with the twin beds to get to the one will the full size bed. Perfect for sleeping a family.
