Amazing Weekend Getaway

This property is amazing! This house is beautifully decorated, well-stocked and comfortable. We came for a lake weekend to celebrate our daughter’s sweet 16. The teenagers loved the karaoke, board games, kayaks, s’mores, swimming and fishing off the dock. Thanks for an amazing weekend!

Great little lake house

We stayed here fr a long weekend. 7 of us total, 2 adults and 5 kids ages 4-13. The property was very clean and the hosts supplied everything we needed! Even snacks and some drinks in the fridge. The back porch and dock were great for everyone to enjoy. A perfect places to swim and fish but still close enough to go into town and explore the historic sites. Definitely the perfect family vacation house!

Awesome property

Extremely well maintained property. Quiet waterfront location on a small cove. Nicely decorated & furnished. Kitchen has everything you need to prepare any meal you want. Plenty of flatware & tableware. Robert left a few items to get you started including water, chips, coffee & oatmeal. Every spice you need is also there. Simple & easy booking procedure. Thanks for a hassle free stay.

Fabulous place, amazing host.

This place is beautiful. It’s located on a lake, surrounded by trees and greenery. The house is very charming and cozy. Kitchen is fully stacked with spices, coffee pods, sweeteners, snacks and to my surprise eggs, butter and drinks in the refrigerator. The host also has toiletries in the bathroom in case you may have forgotten something. This host has thought of everything to make your trip unforgettable. I will definitely be back!

Over The Top!!

From the very beginning, Chris & Tia were very accessible & accommodating with any questions we had! As a family we have stayed at numerous B&Bs all over the country, but never experienced such a welcoming home with unique, special touches throughout house, as this B&B! There was classical music when you enter the home! The decor is very 2021! We enjoyed the coffee & breakfast amenities, refrigerated breakfast foods, playstation, and private deck with brightly colored pillows and swing! We enjoyed several days of fishing off the dock but the basket of smores supplies was an unexpected pleasure! We (all adults) thoroughly enjoyed making smores at the fire pit! This will certainly be an annual experience for us!

Enjoyed our stay

The home was beautiful and plenty of space. The hill down to the lake was a struggle. Thank goodness for the golf cart. The 3 dogs next door visit often. The boat traffic kept the fish from biting. Quiet and relaxing. Will stay again.

Charming lakeside retreat!

This property was everything we hoped for. It looked just like the pictures, was right on the water, and had all the amenities for a perfect home away from home: kayaks, water toys, full service kitchen with dishwasher, fire pit, even a golf cart! It was right on the lake, so water access from the dock was excellent. Nice quiet area. We even saw fireflies at dusk! Definitely recommend this for anyone looking to get away from it all.

Very Nice

The house was accurately advertised. The owner has provided lots of nice touches such as snacks, tons of Keurig pods, aluminum foil, spices, body washes, etc. There was even bacon, eggs, butter, orange juice, and coke in the fridge when we arrived (not sure if that was from the owner or the previous renters, but was so nice!). Getting from the house down to the dock and back might be a challenge for small children or elderly folks, which may be something for some folks to consider. We enjoyed the weekend.

Short business/ family trip

We loved staying at this cute home. The beds were comfortable with soft sheets and towels. Chips and water were there when we arrived, which the kids promptly found and devoured. The home is easy to find and the host provides great recommendations for the area. The giant bean bag was a hit with the kids as well. Would love to come back when the weather is a little warmer. Enjoyed sitting in the swing out on the dock, listening to the fish jump.
