Perfect weekend
From start to finish we had such an amazing stay. The property was even better than advertised, the pictures although gorgeous cannot capture what the property is. We will be renting again as everyone had such a great time. We were close enough to see what we wanted to see but honestly we could have stayed at the property the entire time there was plenty to do and see. Looking forward to returning!!

Amazing week away
Can’t even put into words of how perfect this house is. The home is fully equipped with everything you need for a fun and relaxing vacation. Truly feels like a home away from home with comfortable furniture and beds, necessary appliances, indoor and outside games, and more. It is very private, yet close to many different attractions and things to do. It was the perfect size for our family of 6 adults and 1 child (could easily sleep even more). The house had many different things to do, see, and places to relax. You can tell the home is truly loved and cared for. The home was extremely clean, and the owners were responsive and had great hospitality. Thank you for sharing your Happy Place with us, we can confidently say it served as our Happy Place as well for the week. Will definitely be renting here again!

Beautiful Lakefront Getaway
We enjoyed our stay at this lovely lakefront home! The house is big, clean, comfortable, and very well maintained, and the outdoors is amazing - beautiful and with lots of spots to relax on the porch, in the hammocks, and of course on the beach. We appreciated how quiet and peaceful the lake is, it made our trip really feel like a getaway. We also had a fun time trying out the different boats. Paul and Lynn communicated everything very clearly, and everything is labeled in the house which is super helpful. We wished we could have stayed longer and would definitely come back!

Amazing family vacation
What a fabulous home, property, and host! Paul was a prompt, thoughtful, warm communicator from the time of our booking nearly a year before our arrival. We appreciated his willingness to answer our nuanced questions.
The home was beautiful, light-filled, and spotless. It was extremely well stocked with toiletries, towels, dishes, cookware to make full meals, and so much more. He really thought of everything. Additionally, we can’t thank Paul enough for the thoughtful touches, like the S’mores treat. The kids absolutely loved them - almost as much as they adored being able to play in the water and on the private sandy beach. The views of and cool breeze fromMarch’s pond were extraordinary. We can’t wait to return to this one-of-a-kind wooded paradise. Thank you for everything, Paul!
