We also want to disclose that we have Ring cameras on the property, we did not want to resort to this but we have been experiencing costly damage to our property and had no choice but to install cameras on the outside of the property. We have two in the front for people and guests who enter onto the property and we have one on our pontoon boat in the back. We respect our renters privacy and these are only to be used for security only and to monitor the pontoon boat. Thanks for understanding.

We had a wonderful time this past week. Check-in was flawless. The kitchen had pretty much anything we needed. We enjoyed the large great room. The deck was perfect for morning coffee. And we saw some beautiful sunsets from it too. There was plenty of space for all of us.

Great time at the lake

The cabin was what we needed and even though the weather was on the cooler side our older boys enjoyed the kayaks and paddle boat. We rented the pontoon so loveded the tour around the lake and a bit of fishing. Just time relaxing on the deck and enjoying the lake view. The cabin is clean, well stocked and plenty of games. Only negative was the highway noise seemed to be a trucking route but not enough to spoil our camp fires.

Total relaxation!

This is our 4th time staying at Lakeside Escape...always very satisfied with the cleanliness and upkeep that is provided! We enjoy everything: hot tub, foosball table, spaciousness, fishing dock and depending on the weather the kayaks and paddleboat! Our 4 year old grandson was easily occupied with the assortment of toys and stuffed animals. Can't wait to return for our 5th stay!!

Waterfront Rental

This rental was beautiful, all the decor was done very nicely. Plenty of space for our family of 16, never felt like we were on top of each other. They have plenty of everything in this rental, very well stocked. Loved the fact that we had 3 refrigerators to use. The only down fall I would say is you can hear the traffic from the road pretty much all day and night long. Otherwise would recommend this rental to anyone!!

Extended Family Trip

Property is as advertised in listing and photos. Large enough for multiple families to enjoy. Loved having the kayaks and canoe available to use in addition to other amenities. Lots of board games and some toys to keep the kids busy even on a rainy day. The property is near a well traveled road and road noise a present both inside and outside the house. The lake bottom is sand near the shoreline but it is a weedy bottom off the end of the dock. Owner quickly responded when we had an issue with the grill. Overall, the owners have done a very nice job trying to provide variety of amenities to meet anyone’s needs!

Perfect Home Away from Home

Our family of 7 adults and 2 children under 2 years old stayed at the Lakeside Escape for a week in mid-June. The house was immaculately maintained. The new kitchen and layout of the main floor was perfect for a large group, and it made it easy for all of us to be together for meals and have a beautiful view over the lake. The locations of the bedrooms throughout the house gave each family some space so that they could follow their individual family routines without feeling like they were intruding on someone else’s space. The fire pit and grill were perfect. We rented the pontoon boat as well and had a great time cruising around the lake and fishing. We look forward to staying again in the future.

The weather was cool & grey for much of our time but we had 1 1/2 days of sun. We rented the owner’s pontoon boat and cruised the lake. The young boys and a few older folks fished a lot. They caught big bluegill, a couple nice perch and lots of bass that had to be sent back to grow some more. There was plenty of space for all of us. Lovely home.

Family vacation on the lake

Our family enjoyed our stay at Lakeside Escape. We had 8 adults and 9 kids ranging from 21 months to 8 years. We had plenty of room and comfy beds. We really enjoyed fishing from the dock. Water was very clear. One child got swimmer's itch so we suggest washing after being in the water with soap and a washcloth. There are some cute shops in town. Lots of games and puzzles for rainy days.

Family Fun

We booked this house to celebrate Grandpas 70th Birthday. It was great fun as all four children/spouses and 6 grandchildren made it to celebrate. Great sleeping arrangements, spacious living areas and a beautiful lake made it so enjoyable that we seldom left the place. The shallow water out back with a sandy bottom was perfect for our young grandkids! We would definitely return.
