Lakefront Villa in StillWaters – Perfect for Relaxation & Adventure!
Beautiful views. I think we mostly stayed out on the back deck and dock. Clean, comfortable beds. Convenient, full but small kitchen. Would definitely stay there again.

We celebrated a 50th birthday party with lots of family and some friends at this lake house. There is a fabulous commercial kitchen and lots of rooms. There are stunning lake views and a kayak for use. We absolutely loved our stay here.
