We absolutely loved our stay at this beautiful property! The home was clean and nicely decorated with comfortable beds and lots of space for our family of seven! The house is situated on a big lot overlooking the best part of the lake. The host was friendly and helped make our stay great. We had a great area to swim and enjoyed using the kayaks and paddle boards. We definitely want to stay here again!

We've rented this house and Joe's other house on Baseline lake for 5 years. We've always been happy with the properties and Joe's availability to respond to any issues. What is unusual is the pontoon boats he has available for a reasonable rental price.

Lovely week!

Property in great shape, perfect for our family. We wanted someplace where we could access the water from shore and not only from the end of the dock and this worked! Cute private beach 3 doors down as well. Very convenient to have the pontoon available at the dock and we could pick rental dates by the weather. Great for our young grandkids. The lake is a little weedy but it was great for fishing. A great week with family!

February 2025 Weekend Getaway

This location was great for our weekend getaway. The lake view was beautiful, I’d imagine it’s even more impressive in the summertime! Large kitchen with plenty of seating, cozy living room area, & comfortable beds with extra blankets in the closets if needed.

Girls weekend

The place was perfect for what we needed for a girls weekend getaway. The property was beautiful, and everything worked fine. I enjoyed kayaking on the lake with all the gear available. It’s well water downstairs so we brought bottled water. Water upstairs was best for bathing. Warning, there are signs from the neighbors protesting vacation rentals when you come in, but no one bothered us. Property manager was responsive. I would consider staying here again.

Hometown Feel!

I highly recommend this lovely property. Plenty of space for our party of 11 people. Everyone was so comfortable and the weather and the lake were just so amazing. The owner made it so easy for us to check in and answered all of the questions that I had. Hope to rent this again next year for a family reunion! Prices are reasonable and made long lasting memories together !
