Perfect Family Trip

The house and location were perfect for a family lake trip with 5 kids 16-21. We could just relax and take in the view, or there were plenty of opportunities for fun. I would recommend bringing or renting a boat during your stay. The hosts were great and we would definitely love to come back.

Paradise Point is accurate!

Paradise Point is located in a peaceful area of the lake, off the beaten path. Lakeshore Marina is very close and convenient! The property is well maintained and is only a few yards away from the water. Summer and Alex have everything you need in the house as well as on the boat deck. They are super quick to respond to any questions or needs! This was our second time to stay here and we will surely be back!

The home is beautifully decorated. Attention to detail for guest was so nice. Smores station, coffee bar, outdoor fireplace and much more. Warning to guest about cell coverage. Only AT&T and T mobile work well. No Verizon coverage in the lake area.

Amazing lakefront getaway

We have stayed at many VRBO properties over the course of our military life. We loved everything about this property - clean, spacious, has everything you need, private dock, great communication with the hosts, clear instructions on everything, very responsive. I would recommend this house equally to families with small children and teens, group of friends. Coffee bar and the s’mores kit were such a cute and helpful thought. We are definitely plotting a comeback :) thank you!

Nice and relaxing getaway

Nice and clean with everything you need for a fun and relaxing getaway. Getting to the property could be a challenge in inclement weather as the 3 mile road is unpaved with hills. The s’mores kit was a fun and thoughtful touch.

It’s was a beautiful home and landscape. House was spacious and had plenty of room for our family gathering. Great handicapped shower. Kids enjoyed making s’mores at the fire pit. Easy walk down to boathouse for small kids and older people.

Wonderful weekend stay!

We loved everything about this property. The house was exceptionally clean. The lake property is not a terrible steep hill so my parents did not have an issue with getting down to the boat dock or fireplace area. My parents celebrated their 50th wedding anniversary. We hope to return for another visit when the water warms up. I will say. this property has a lot of boat traffic so it is not the best location for dock fishing. Either way, my boys had a blast! Five stars!

A beautiful place

A very nice house and property, little touches like the coffee bar and Smores bar were real nice. The boys loved the Kayaks, my son loved fishing from the boat dock. The only complaint I had was the bed in Master Bedroom was way to high off the floor, I had to get something to stand on to get in the bed and was afraid of falling. Us older people have problems with high beds,using a low profile Box Springs would fix this problem and make us older people happy.

We had extended family in town for a wedding, including some very older adults. This home was accessible, with one floor living. The home is beautiful and well-appointed. The views and grounds are amazing! Our family group had a wonderful stay. Owners are responsive and easy to work with. If you book this home, you will be glad you did!

Great place

Wonderful location and overall experience. Lake access is awesome. Owners communicated well and place was as described. Would stay again! One note for folks not driving an SUV or Truck...the road in is pretty rough. That's not necessarily unexpected since it is lake access living. Just drive carefully to avoid ruts on the gravel roads.

Beautiful Property and Perfect Hosts.

The house, dock and surrounding property were beyond expectation, clean and absolutely beautiful. We had a great stay with everything we needed. Owners quick to respond to messages and questions. Our only negative was the steep and difficult 3 mile gravel road to the property. Drop your boat in the water before making the trek. Our 2WD truck barely made it up some of the hills.
