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.

Family Vacation

We really enjoyed our stay on Lay Lake. There was plenty of room for our family of 6. The kitchen was well equipped with items we needed for cooking. We were able to buy groceries at a nearby Piggly Wiggly and were able to eat out at a nearby BBQ restaurant .

We loved everything about this house from the open floor plan, the cleanliness of the house, comfortable beds, amazing views from inside the house, the fire pit by the lake and the paddle board and kayaks.

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!
