Perfect for a weekend getaway
We LOVED this place! Clean, quiet, peaceful, and roomy. The best part is the little thoughtful amenities, like sleeping masks. There were little things like that all over the place so you can tell that the owner really cares about their renters. We wil definitely be back!

Fantastic house!
The house has everything you'll need. And then some. My kids absolutely loved learning to kayak and fish and use a record player. We hung out and played card games and yard games. We rocked out to The Beach Boys and AC/DC. Toiletries were provided (even makeup remover!). My kids cried when we left and said they wanted to move there. Thanks for the lovely stay, Katie!

Our favorite place to stay so far
We really enjoyed staying here! Very nice home with an awesome location and super peaceful. I loved that I was able to fish from the house or take a kayak down the river..Out of all the vacation rentals we’ve stayed in, this is the coolest place! Thanks again for the great communication and beautiful property!

Something for everyone
We all had a great time and truly enjoyed our stay. It rained 2 of the 5 days we were there, but there was plenty of covered area for parking and outdoor chilling. Even thought it was cold, we lit a fire in the chimenia and enjoyed the cool night. The place was large enough for the 4 of us, plenty of space! One son-n-law came over by boat and the other enjoyed fishing from the dock. Everyone tried out and enjoyed the massage chair! Great addition. A great time was had by all!

LA Renaissance Festival
We came down to go to the renfaire. This place was perfect for our two night stay. It was very clean and had everything we needed. Some really great eating places very close by. The only negative is it is not really set up for young kids. My daughter just about had a heart attack when she saw we were basically over water and there was no gaurdrail to stop her 3 year old from falling in. Wasn't an issue for us since we were not there for an extended stay. I loved the location and would go again.

A little get away
My wife and I stayed here for a get away and absolutely loved this place. We sat down stairs every evening fishing and watching the Rangers in the World Series. It has everything you need with comfy beds, grills and downstairs you have a big tv, fridge and restroom. My wife couldn't have picked a better place.

Amazing Lake House
This house was great! We loved the set up, they had an extra fridge downstairs by the slip with a stereo. The house set up was great with plenty of seating in the living room. This house just gave us all smiles, it had a good energy. Only con - beds are terribly uncomfortable but regardless I hope to stay here again.
