Lakeside w/water access and views, family/dog friendly, SUP, Kayak, firepit

Family friendly lake home with something for everyone. Enjoy your morning coffee on the upstairs balcony while you whip up a delicious breakfast on the griddle. When the most important meal of the day is complete, gather on the middle deck to plan the rest of your day. Head down to the private dock for all the water activities you could imagine from fishing to kayaking and paddleboarding. Have a boat? Bring that too! Lake Decatur is perfect for tubing and wakeboarding with the launch just across the lake. When the sun goes down, you can light up the firepit and roast hot dogs and marshmallows! Or head inside for a family friendly games like Yahtzee and Uno.
Need quiet time? Snuggle up with a book from our library in front of the fireplace, or flip on the TV and catch your favorite show through Roku guest access. Maybe this is a workcation? Enjoy the view while you solve all the worlds problems.

So peaceful and relaxing
Pictures definitely don’t do this air b&b justice. Everything is so beautiful and well taken care of. Beautifully decorated. Then walk outside to the amazing few of the water on 3 different decks all with plenty on seating. We will definitely be staying here again. Love this place

Paiton's 21st
We had a wonderful stay at the Lakehouse, celebrating our daughter's 21st birthday. Wish the weather cooperated so we could have enjoyed the backyard and/or kayaked, fished, or swam ... but there's always next time - and we will for sure be back (possibly May 2025 for her graduation at Millikin!). Thanks for sharing your home with us!
