Beautiful Home and a Fantastic Experience
The house was even better than anticipated! The owners thought of everything one might need when staying with a group. We cooked, grilled, swam, fished, canoed, kayaked, slept in the hammock, gathered around the firepit -- and had a fantastic experience. The location is picturesque on the shores of Lay Lake. The owner was quick to respond to our questions and incredibly accommodating. We can't stop talking about our time there and hope to go back again next year!

Beautiful spot for a get away
We came down to visit family in the area and was looking for somewhere we could bring our boat to do some fishing. It’s a gorgeous property. Thinking about renting both homes out next time for a family reunion-there’s plenty of room for a large group.

Wonderful Fishing and Relaxation
The owners are wonderful people who communicated and responded in a timely process to any questions we had. The property and home were beautiful with gorgeous lake views We enjoyed the boat house which we used to keep our boat in at night Words really can’t express what a wonderful time my wife and I along with our pups had relaxing, fishing, and cooking out. Ending each evening on the porch watching the moons reflection over the gorgeous lake view We will be back! Mike and Rice

Coffee on the porch! 😍
We stayed here for a high school bass tournament & it was perfect! While off the beaten path, it was such a beautiful, peaceful setting! Coffee on the front porch while the sun rises is a MUST here! Arrangements and bedding was comfortable and enjoyable. While the weather wasn’t nice enough for us to enjoy the fire pit and complimentary S’mores, it was a sweet gesture & unexpected surprise! We did however use the grill for steaks one night. The boys loved the bunk room and enjoyed having their own retreat. Thank you for sharing this property with us! If we find ourselves back in the area, we would book again. The only thing I might suggest is some sheers for the upstairs bedroom… I love the view but something to cover the doors for privacy from downstairs viewers would be a nice touch. 🙂 Also, parking was a little difficult with a truck and boat trailer & a second vehicle. We were, however, able to make arrangements with the other renters at the neighboring home and we worked it out just fine. Also made some new fishing friends & connections! 😉 Thank you again for a wonderful stay!

Perfect Family and Friend Gathering
We rented both houses on the property for a 70th Birthday celebration. The house was spotless and well equipped. We enjoyed having the fire pit and all the food needed for cooking s’mores were supplied. The views are great and the owner easy to reach if you have any issues or questions. Can’t wait to return.

Beautiful Birthday
Chose this property due to the proximity to the water and that it allowed dogs. It is a beautiful property on an easy to navigate Lake. We chose to rent the boat after we got there. And Micha was wonderful and easy to contact in accommodating us. The extras on property were also a hit. Thank you for a wonderful place to stay.
