Beautiful Property!

This was a wonderful getaway for our family! The house is beautiful, clean, and offered many amenities and small touches to make our stay comfortable and relaxing! We brought our boat and played on the water during the day and enjoyed time with family around the fire or in the house during the evenings. We would definitely stay here again!

Family lake getaway

We had a fantastic stay at the lake house. It reminded us of spending time at the family lake house as a kid. We were able to unwind and relax during our stay. Lake Johnson is the perfect size lake with something for everyone to enjoy.

Incredible vacation

The listing does not do this place justice. The home is beautiful and fully stocked. The host is wonderful and responsive. We rented a pontoon boat and jetskis nearby. When not on those, our kids were in the lake near the dock where they could touch (perfect for 3-7 year olds). We can't wait to come back next summer!

Great place for our entire family to get together. Gorgeous home, everything you could ask for. The grandkids LOVED the bunk room. The large kitchen and big table provided a fun place to gather but we spent most of our time outside. The lake was awesome and the floats and life jackets provided by the host kept us all happy. We enjoyed sitting out on the patio with the sound system playing great music, s'mores at the fire pit, and just relaxing in the sunshine. Highly recommend!

Family vacation

We just spent a week at this property and had a great time. We had 5 kids from 5-15 and 5 adults. The house is amazing and had everything we needed and the view is absolutely beautiful. There were plenty of activities for the kids and several games and toys. Our host Jackie is absolutely wonderful and made sure we had everything we needed. I definitely would stay again. Sandy

Exceeds Expectations

This property has it ALL. An amazing space with time, thought and care built into every area. Inside is a beautiful home full of high end finishes, ample space, and welcoming accommodations. But our time was primarily spent on the incredible patio space with multiple areas to relax, disconnect and enjoy unforgettable views. What more can you ask for

Over the Top!!!!

If you are looking at this property snag it right away! We were a group of 8 guys on a golf trip. We rent a house every year rather than staying in hotels. This home was far and away the nicest home we have seen. It's a beautiful place that has everything, and I mean everything you will need for your stay. Jackie is a very accommodating host and happily did some extra things to ensure we had what we needed. The neighborhood was great as well. This is a repeater for us and we will definitely rent the home again for our next trip.

Beautiful home--we first stayed here last summer and came back because we all loved it! Perfect for our five adults and five teen grandkids. We used the outdoor grill a couple of times, made s'mores around the fire pit, and basically just kept the kids entertained with kayaks and paddle boards. Kitchen had everything we could ask for, house was ready with plenty of beach towels, sunscreen, even a bowl of sunglasses. Put our favorite'70s music on the sound system and laid back and relaxed. Perfect getaway

We have stayed at this property multiple times and will continue to when we visit the area. The location right on the lake is great and makes it super easy to spend all day outside. The lakehouse is clean and comfortable and the hosts are super nice. Our whole group would highly recommend this property.

The Lakehouse was a great place for our family to gather. It had everything we needed for a fantastic stay. It's beautiful inside and out with all the amenities you could possibly ask for. Jackie is a great host. She took time to meet us there upon arrival and gave us a quick tour of the house. We hope to stay here again.
