Perfect Getaway

We planned a trip to the Ark Encounter and this place is just minutes away. It is located in a quiet peaceful neighborhood. We so enjoyed sitting on the covered back porch and enjoying the lake view.

Ark Encounter Vacation

This was our first trip to see the Creation Museum and the Ark Encounter. We were in a great location to get to both places very easily. The house was very clean and comfortable and the lake was beautiful. Sitting on the deck looking over the lake was just what we needed! Thank you!

Wonderful Home

Had a wonderful time and the house was perfect. Very nicely decorated and being by a lake makes it extra special. Brought back memories of the cabin we owned years ago in Minnesota.

Great getaway!

We were in the area for a wedding and stayed for a long weekend. The house is updated, has everything you could need and wonderful outdoor space. We did not have great weather, but would love to come back in the summer to take advantage of the deck, dock and lake views!

Great views of the lake

We really enjoyed our stay at this beautiful lake house. You can enjoy the beautiful lake views from several different places. We ate all our meals on the beautiful, covered porch and spent a lot of time on the 2-level dock. We enjoyed the swing on the lower level of the dock, especially in the evenings. The house was clean and spacious and interaction with the owner was quick and easy. We would definitely recommend this house for a great lake getaway.

Great Lake stay

Highly recommend!! House was fully stocked and ready for our arrival. ( along with bucky the house mascot ) Very comfortable with a great big deck and awesome lake view. Peaceful and quiet!! Great location. Host made it an easy check in with clear instructions. Would come back here and will tell others!! Only thing we noted was the online description says 3 baths and there is only 2.

Lake cabin

Clean lake front property with nice lake view,property manager was prompt to respond to emails. The only problems were the guest shower only put out scalding hot water with no adjustment and there was no washer and dryer, also the shower floor was a little slippery.

So relaxing

Three generations stayed here and throughly enjoyed it. The large covered deck is wonderful just for relaxing to look out at the lake. All amenities were as described!! The only issue we had was the slope coming down the drive way was a bit challenging for my huband in the wheelchair. But we conquered it. Ok, one more BIG issue... our stay was way too short to enjoy it more. We would come again for a longer stay and rent a boat!!!

Ark Encounter

It was a very large, clean lake house. The owners have it very well stocked. No issues other than we couldn’t get the tv in the den to work. It may have been the weather since it kept saying, “no signal.”
