About this property

Charming and spacious lakefront home w/hot tub and pool table!

Nothing beats the scenic natural location and direct access to the lake, with kayaks, canoe, pedal boat, sandy beach, and boat launch and docking all on site!

For a true lakeside experience, gather on the deck abutting the water for an evening cookout, or relax around the table top fire pit and savor the lake view . The rustic screened in patio boasts a large four-person hot tub and ample seating, creating the perfect opportunity to relax and socialize while enjoying the lake breeze. In the adjoining rec room, the pool table, bar area, dual TV's, karaoke machine, and comfortable seating area allow for gaming and exciting group gatherings. The well-equipped kitchen sports granite, high-end appliances and double ovens for the chefs in the house, with plenty of cookware, dishware, and utensils for your needs.

Excellent get away

The place was really warm, bright, clean and fun. The hot tube was great, the back deck area / waters edge was easy to access without 500 steps, Kareoke machine was going the whole time. Kitchen was great, we cooked every meal for the 3 days. Gas pressure is a little low on the cooktop but it all worked just fine. The 2 story sun room is really nice to read in. Beds were comfy and bathrooms were clean. The tub/shower valve is a little counter intuitive but we figured it out. Having a Market basket 12 minutes down the road is great.

Relaxing Lake Stay

Our group has stayed at this property several times and keep coming back because it is such a special spot. There is so much to do between the lake itself, the fire pit, hot tub, pool table, and karaoke. We love to cook and the kitchen space is wonderful. We always enjoy our time here. Can’t wait to stay again!

Great House for Family Garhering

My family including 6 adults and 2 children stayed at this house February 14-17, 2025. House is as described in listing. House was clean and fully furnished. We enjoyed the sun room as we watched the snow fall. Karaoke machine was a big hit with the grandchildren. We would definitely go back and remarked that it would be fun to be there in the summer. The only suggestion was for some hooks to hang winter coats and jackets.

Well-stocked with the best!

Whatever you need in the kitchen is not only there but also of the best quality. That holds true with the towels (in abundance!) as well. Our teens loved playing pool. Our getaway was in November, so we couldn't take advantage of the lake activities. We had a wonderful Thanksgiving and highly recommend it for family gatherings of many ages.

Wedding Weekend

The house had a generous layout with room to spread out and be comfortable. Sited right on the waterfront, it was a beautiful location. It’s all there - a hot tub, kayaks, pool table. We parked 4 cars too. Owner was responsive to anything that came up - our wayward Amazon package - even reaching out to mail carrier for help. Very accommodating! Would certainly return when we get a chance.

My family and I had a great weekend getaway at this property. It was very clean and they have thought of every little detail to add. House had everything we needed from beach towels to a crockpot.

The house is beautiful and spotless. So many different sitting areas inside and out. The house has so many amenities that we didn’t feel like we were missing anything.

Picture Perfect Family & Friends Vacation!

We had an amazing summer family and friends (framily) vacation in this beautiful oasis! We all had such a great time on the lake this week with our best friends and our babies and our two pups! Spent our days swimming, fishing, floating, and kayaking. Spent our nights hanging in the hot tub, playing pool, watching the Olympics, playing games and just spending time together in this little slice of paradise. Can’t wait to come back next August! Ed and Leatha are such thoughtful and considerate hosts. We had everything we could have needed, wanted, and more!

Fantastic lakeside oasis

We stayed for a second time and everything was as great as the first. Plenty of space for our group to spread out and enough activities for all ages (we had 11-92). Ed ≤atha are super kind and responsive at any point. Looking forward to year #3. This has definitely turned into our family favorite spot.

Absolutely beautiful house

My sister and I took our daughter's on a little getaway and this house had everything we needed. We all had our own space and traveling with 3 teens space is important. There's plenty of stuff to do at the house we didnt feel we had to go find something. The hosts were great to communicate with. Would stay here again and recommend to others.
