Perfection
Everything about this trip was surreal. The owners were amazing. Michelle was quick and always helpful with responses and made sure that any questions or concerns were immediately addressed. The house was perfect with enough linens and towels for our entire stay. Like clockwork everyday at about 530 the deer come out into it back yard. The fire pit makes for great evenings enjoying the sunset. Just make sure you have your bug spray. This stay is remote so it is imperative to bring everything you need or think you'll need. There are marinas that are a quick boat ride for small things like ice, snacks or drinks but for anything else you will need to hop back in the car. We will definitely be reserving this property again and can't wait to go back.

Wonderful Weekend Getaway
Our son requested a weekend on the lake fishing and this property provided that and more. There was no WiFi which was perfect because the two children (ages 12 and 9) played games watched DVD’s and fished. We really enjoyed the family time. Our hosts were very helpful. They provided the fishing poles and supplies for s’mores. It was a very special weekend

Lovely escape!
This place has it all. Well-appointed, gorgeous touches. Plenty of space to relax in seclusion. Owners easy to communicate with and offer some great amenities. The property itself is fabulous---nice water views and a huge awesome yard to run around in. Fire pit was an added bonus. We can't wait to visit again!

Birthday Getaway
The owners are the nicest people we have ever met. Very accommodating. Helped us with our boat when it wouldn’t start. We arrived late. They stood out on the edge of the dock to ensure we found the right place since it was dark. They helped us carry our things to the house. I mentioned it was my husbands birthday. There was a happy birthday balloon waiting with the treats to make s’mores. The house itself was beautiful. So quaint. The property was amazing. We took advantage of the hammock, corn hole s d fire pit. We will certainly be back. While the property brought us there .. the owners will be a maim reason we come back. Thank you!
