Just What the Doctor Ordered

We absolutely loved our stay at this quaint lakeside retreat! The home was cozy, clean, and perfectly tucked away to offer total privacy and relaxation. Surrounded by nature and just steps away from the water, it was the perfect escape from the hustle and bustle. Whether we were enjoying our morning coffee on the porch or unwinding by the lake in the evening, every moment felt rejuvenating. Highly recommend for anyone looking to relax and recharge in a beautiful, quiet setting!

Great Place for Fishermen

Property is right on lake with a nice dock in protected cove and you are only a very short drive from the boat ramp. It’s easy to back a boat trailer or 2 in and you have outside power. Carlos is an exceptional host he is immediately responsive to any needs. The description lists a room with a double bed and 2 singles but there is only 1 single so if you have four you should bring a cot or use the sofa. Good experience and would stay here again.

We really enjoyed our weekend getaway. House is clean and nicely decorated. Beds were comfortable and everything needed was provided. We especially enjoyed having our lunch on the dock overlooking the beautiful lake. Would definitely choose this property again in the future.

Property is great for a getaway. It is close enough to stores and restaurants if you need something. House was clean and essentials were furnished. Dock is great for fishing or just sitting and watching the water.

Great Little Place

Communication was immediate and excellent before the trip. Check in was simple. The place smelled and looked amazing. There was a kayak already there but we brought our own and out on the water we went. The week consisted of swimming off the dock, fishing off the dock while the boys took the boat out—- you can park the boat at the dock or up in the grass and reading on the dock. We did bring a canopy tent that we put up on the dock since it averaged 100 degrees before the humidity. We had all our meals at the house and the grocery store was only 15 minutes away. It only rained the last night and it was a doozy that came up fast. The porch was great but a ceiling fan would have made it perfect as we sat on the porch to work on a puzzle that was already at the house.

Peace and Quiet

Scenery was gorgeous! Incredibly tranquil! I loved the screened porch and dock. I would love to come again. There seems to be an issue with the electrical system, as the outlets spark when plugging anything in.

Peaceful country lake stay.

House was very clean and in good condition. Stocked with essentials and some optional items (floats, games, etc). Only saw one other person out in the neighborhood while we were there. Lake water is deep enough to swim and float off the dock.
