Perfect Lake Rental for boaters

For boaters on a holiday this is the best rental on Lake SantaFe. A sheltered swimming area and multiple docks make this the perfect spot to play. The house is very nice inside, remodeled recently and was very comfortable even during some very hot days. The separate cottage is on the water and a favorite spot for everyone. We boat/swim/ski and there is ample room on site for trailers and toys to enjoy your stay. Everything worked and was comfortable. This is a great rental on a beautiful lake.

Yearly lake vacation

Great property! Great location! Very spacious house and guest house. Plenty of parking! We enjoy the backyard and swimming area the most, some days we never even get in the boats. We will always book here as long as we can!

Could not have asked for anything better

We stayed for 30 days while our house was being remodeled. We enjoyed every minute. The house is beautiful, the lake is perfect, and the location is safe. If we didn’t live in the general area, we would definitely vacation at this house as often as possible. I highly recommend this vacation rental. Mike was awesome to deal with, the communication was timely, and you can see the pride in ownership.

Cousin Fun on Lake Santa Fe

We were in the area for a family wedding. I chose this location because it looked like it would be appropriate for very young children up to 12 year olds. It certainly was perfect for them. Cousins staying in other rentals came to play in the lake, color, and play cards. This home was perfect for our weekend.

Our favorite property on Lake Santa Fe

My family and I have rented this property multiple times over the past few years. Each time gets better and better. The house and cottage had been upgraded since our last visit and looks amazing. The owner was very easy to keep in contact with. We will definitely be back!

Fabulous family Thanksgiving

The property was so much more than the photos indicate. The view of the lake, the cypress trees and the house itself were fabulous. We were very comfortable, the common space was large and the kitchen well stocked. We are definitely coming back for more quality family time!!

Amazing location on the lake

The listing photos do not do the property justice. It’s beautiful property on Lake Santa Fe. We had an amazing time celebrating my wife’s 40th birthday there. I would without a doubt recommend it to anyone looking for a weekend get away on the lake.

Perfect for kids!

We really love this lake house. The open floor plan of the main house is great for everyone to be together and the little cottage works great for us with our toddler. The shallow swimming area is also great for young kids. Favorite family vacation every year!
