Roger and Mary are great hosts. The property is un a prestine setting with a beatiful pond. Any aminity you could imagine us already there. It is in a quiet location that allows you to really just sit back and enjoy nature. Roger was easy to communicate with and wanted to make sure everything was perfect with our stay. This one is a hidden gem!

Outstanding Property and Hosts
The moment we pulled down the driveway and saw the pond and land, we knew we made the right choice. Went inside to fine a very nice house with eggs and bottled water in fridge, snacks, ice in the freezer, and much more. Bug spray was available outside. Hummingbirds swarmed at the porch feeders and were comical to watch. We would sit on the porch and watch them. We saw deer and ducks and turkeys and squirrels and chickens. The hosts had outdoor games and plenty of boats in top condition. We didn't have much luck fishing but had fun anyway. The host let us know they were available if we needed anything, but they had things set up so well, we never needed a thing. Plenty of firewood was available and the grill was a nice one. I highly recommend this, and my daughter and grandson said the same. We will return someday.

Beautiful and Relaxing
This was the perfect place for us to stay. We especially loved the local wildlife (deer, turkeys, hummingbirds). There was no reason to leave, trails to walk, pond to swim and fish in. Like others have mentioned, the kitchen was very well-stocked. Snacks in a basket, water bottles, and farm fresh eggs! Roger was extremely helpful, and responsive. We will definitely be back!!

Relaxing family weekend
This is our 3rd year going on a Labor Day getaway. By far, the BEST place we’ve stayed. The house had EVERYTHING we needed and more. Our teenage boys loved the kayaks and paddle boats for fishing(even in the rain). My mom enjoyed the covered porch watching the humming birds all day. Roger always answered any questions and even brought bait for fishing. Truly amazing hosts and a perfect time away for 3 generations. We’re looking to return next year.

Perfect getaway
My three children and I love staying here. We have our own private lake for swimming, kayaking, paddle and row boating, or just floating on a raft and looking at the sky. Roger and Mary have created a retreat that feels like home, with fresh eggs, bottled water, plenty of towels and blankets and open spaces for relaxing and talking together, inside or on the porch while watching the humming birds. We also loved playing frisbee golf and hiking. We left feeling refreshed and renewed and closer to each other.

Lakehouse
The house, lake and hosts are fantastic. We’ve stayed at other VRBO’s in other states and we think this is the best we’ve stayed at. Clean, well stocked, if you forget anything we think the hosts had it covered. The wildlife was great. We can’t wait to book it for next year.

Throw and Fish
It was an oasis in the hills. We arrived and was very happy with what we saw and we had only pulled in the driveway. It only got better. We went to the LAKE HOUSE looking To get away from the hustle and bustle of our daily lives, Relax and do some fishing and disc golfing. It was everything we could have wanted and more. It was a very hot few days, and the air conditioning worked great, very comfortable inside. The place has wifi, but I don't know why you would need to use it. It has 4 disk Golf baskets on the premises, and I had one of my own so we had our own personal disk. Golf course and pond for fishing. It couldn't Have been better. It was EXACTLY what we were looking for. We had everything we could have wanted, and then some. From the 4 disk Golf baskets to the farm fresh Eggs in the fridge. Roger and Mary were great hosts. They had everything you could need, and then some. Very clean, Grass and landscape was well kept. All the info you could need about your place and the surrounding area inside the cabin posted somewhere. And they also let you have your own vacation. They are there for anything. You need, but are not a nuisance or try to invade on your vacation. They are the PERFECT HOSTS. I can't stress enough how perfect it was. Would definitely recommend and we will definitely be going back. Thank you Roger and Mary for making it 1 of the best most convenient and easy vacation experiences I've ever had. 🌟 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟 rating because 5 isnt enough. above and beyond!

Peaceful Getaway
This place was one of the best places we ever stayed at. So quiet and the wildlife was amazing. Birds of all kinds, deer, turkey, bullfrogs and turtles also. The lake was fun and the hiking trails were just enough for a bit of exercise. We stayed for 3 nights and never left the property. Hated to leave. Roger and Mary joined us around the campfire as my friend played acoustic guitar. Great owners!! Only suggestion we had was maybe some hooks on the wall in the main bedroom to hang some clothes.

Relaxing stay
Very private property with relaxing view. Property owners were very gracious, and the property has almost everything one would need to enjoy stay. Tripped over small ramp at the front door several times, if only it could be removed when not in use. Couldn't find a fishing pole, probably should have brought my own. Property owners provided snacks. Mattress was a bit thin for me, and wasn't a fan of cameras inside living space, although it was disclosed prior to booking. All in all I would stay here again, hopefully without the inside cameras. The only reason for a 4 star rating is the inside cameras and bed comfort.

We have never stayed at a VRBO that exhibited more pride of ownership and thoughtfulness by the owners. The property was breathtakingly beautiful and immaculately maintained. My husband and children enjoy kayaks and paddle boats on the lake. There were so many fun things to do (swim, fish, disc golf, cornhole etc.) but my personal favorite was walking the trails on the property. Did I mention they left us Farm fresh eggs, snacks, and coffee? We are already planning a return visit because we didn’t give ourselves nearly enough time to enjoy the property. Thank you to Roger and Mary for being such gracious hosts.

This property is beautiful and so peaceful. The 3BR 2 BA home was very clean and offered many unexpected, and much appreciated, extras. The pond water was very clean and clear. Fishing was so fun! Rowboat, large float, paddle boats, and kayaks are available for guest use. The hosts are nice and always respond quickly. They even gave us homemade zucchini bread and fresh watermelon from their garden! The small touches and items provided for guest use show just how much these hosts care about their guests.
