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!

Wonderful vacation!!!!
Lemonade paradise…, we truly enjoyed our stay here. Very comfortable home. We fished everyday! Very comfortable beds. And the owner is very responsive and will make sure you have all you need for your stay. The grounds are gorgeous as well and quite…. All except for the cicadas!!! We were obviously there during mating season and they definitely let their presence be known… all in all it was a great stay and we will definitely be back as soon as we can!

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.
