Easy Breezy Stay on Wheeler Lake
Brought a group to enjoy the weekend. Lots of flexibility with all the rooms. The kitchen was well equipped (better than most). The dock was an easy walk and enjoyable spot for views and relaxing.

Wonderful Stay for our Leadership Retreat!!!
This is the 2nd year we've utilized this property for our church leadership/planning retreat. We enjoy the location, tranquility and outdoor spaces this property offers. The dock is great for fishing or just relaxing, and the house itself is wonderful for large groups. We plan to make this an annual stop for our leaders and to even extend it a day longer next year. Excellent communication response from the property manager - always quick to answer questions. Highly recommend.

Wonderful trip
Our group enjoyed our stay in this roomy lake front home. Nina was very prompt and helpful with any questions. The stairs to the lofts are very steep but we did have 3-4 that managed them. It would also be great if there was more lighting in the beautiful great room.

Friend Yearly Trip
We absolutely loved this property: the lake, the location, the house size, the 2 refrigerators, the amount of land that allowed us to set up a bouncy house for the kids and the amount if parking. Relaxing views, especially for sunrise yoga/pilates. The only thing would be the outside spider webs, yes its a wooded lot so nothing much to complain about in those circumstances. Overall, owner was very responsive and it was a great stay.

Family reunion
What a beautiful place to stay! The home was exactly the size we needed. The owners thought of everything. There was a portable crib and high chair for the baby. The bedrooms were perfect. We used the rockers on the porch a lot. There were two refrigerators to hold all of the food. We enjoyed the size of the beautiful kitchen table to play games all day and night. The kids enjoyed the outdoor patio and gazebo. And several fish were caught off the dock!! The only thing that we had to do on our own was find a way to get rid of all the spider webs outside. Also, it was mayfly season. Really those things were beyond the owners’ control.

Wonderful retreat in the woods
We loved this place from the drive in to checkout process and everything in between. It's a beautiful setting with all the things we needed to cook and enjoy the cabin. We had 18 women and fit comfortably. The step i stairs are no joke, more like a ladder. Lots of bathrooms! We loved that the living room opened with 4 sets of French doors to the deck facing the lake. The host Nina was quick to answer questions. Overall wonderful stay!

Beautiful Lake House!
This home on Wheeler Lake was just perfect for our getaway for an adults-only birthday weekend! The two refrigerators held everything we brought for the weekend, we loved the sprawling yard, and the separate porch/grilling area was fantastic for cooking and enjoying each others company. Nina was fast to reply with any questions we had. The open living, dining, and kitchen area was large enough for us to all hang out, and the wrap around porch provided beautiful views of the lake and surroundings. We had the best time!
