Great great great
The location is unbeatable. The house is beautiful. We could feel the attention to detail and pride the owners have in everything , down to the fancy lighting fixtures and welcoming lemonade in the fridge. The beds were comfy, the bathrooms were well stocked; the house was both professionally presented while also being comfortably unpresumptuous. The rate was more than fair and made the stay even that much more enjoyable. Loved it in every way. Thank you for opening your home !

Great home with beautiful view of the lake.
We loved the three levels in the home with bed/beds and a bathroom on each level. We loved sitting on the deck watching the sunset over the lake. The beds were comfortable. BTW - the bottom level has all the features of a separate apartment but connects to the upper levels. We had two issues the property. The dishes provided were cheap plastic with cuts in the plastic. The dishes didn't fit on the top shelf (for plastic) of the dishwasher. Some Corelle dishes would be a nice replacement. Also the Lemonade rugs need cleaning and and the rug in kitchen slides around. It needs something to keep in in place. Also the gas for one of the firepits is not provided. On the whole, we did love our week at this property.

I’m choosy about cleanliness and this was the cleanest VRBO my family has ever stayed at! It was just as pictured in the listing. There is very good parking and the views are amazing. We had lots of fun with the water amenities and swimming. We hope to return next year.

Family Getaway
Our family was looking for a relaxing place on the lake that could accommodate 6 adults. We were looking for a property that had a boat and jet ski. Lance's property was perfect and checked all the boxes.

Fantastic Holiday Weekend
My husband and I stayed at Lemonade Paradise along with my best friend. We had a great time and waking up with the lake view was beautiful. We were treated to fireworks by the neighboring homes and they finished by 11pm. We didn't use the downstairs kitchen but it was nice to have the option. We had a minor issue, but the property owner was very quick to respond and we were able get it taken care of. The area is beautiful and we would love to visit the property again. Thanks for sharing your space with us!

The best of Lake Living!
Lemonade Paradise is just that. It is a break away from worries and responsibilities. The Lake House had everything from fire pit to hot tubs to kayaks and bags. We celebrated a graduation with close family and friends and it was fabulous. Slept 6 super comfortably and we could’ve slept more. Really enjoyed working with Lance. He was responsive and attentive to our needs and questions. I would go back to this place in a heartbeat. I wish I found it earlier during the first three years of my son’s experience at Carbondale.

The pontoon boat runs well and is best for relaxing cruises, also enjoyed the nearby hiking trails. #LemonadeParadise #NokoLife.

A great way to practice for retirement
When life tells you that you’re turning another year older it’s time to take your furry friend and go to the lake. We had a great time fishing and practicing retirement at this beautiful home with a view. Our host was very prompt in answering our questions and meeting our needs. The home provided us with all ours needs and then some. We highly recommend giving this a try. Thank you for being a pet friendly host.
