Great stay!
Enjoyed a girls weekend at the house- great setup with enough beds, and beautiful lake scenery. Living room is lovely for relaxing. We could have used a bit more in the kitchen (large utensils, baking sheet, pans)… but minor detail that didn’t change a great stay! Recommend!

Perfect House for a group
A group of us who volunteer for Poss Music Works rented this home while working the Summer Sundown Music Festival. Normally we do a hotel in town. It was so great to have a comfortable place to go with great bathrooms and comfortable beds. Having a kitchen to cook in was the best part. We will definitely be back.

Morning beauty
Our family came to town for a little family reunion and celebration for aunt Turing 100. We used to stay with my in-laws back in the days but both have passed and we wanted a special stay somewhere and we found this beautiful place. My family enjoyed kayaking and watching the sun come up on lake Sara. We would totally rent this beautiful home again

Golf Outing Weekend
Came to Lake Sara for a golf outing weekend. We brought 6 friends with us so we had 8 adults and we fit perfectly in the house. These owners know how to host! We will definitely be back! My in laws have a boat dock across the cove from this house so it worked out perfectly for us to park our boat at the rental and boat over to my in-laws dock to hang out and swim.

Gorgeous spot, cute house.
House was very private and quiet. We truly enjoy Lake Sara and stay in the area 2x per year from Florida to see family in the area. The house is laid out a bit funny but comfortable overall. We enjoyed our stay and would stay again. Adding some comfort items or items that make a longer term stay easier like toaster and/or air fryer would go a long way. Host or main point of contact is great communicator and very friendly. My feedback would be to open the space up and de-clutter some of the 11-13 end tables and trinkets. Simple is more!

Charming!
This home was the perfect midway location for us to meet up with friends. The home and property and amenities exceeded our expectations. The home is so cozy and decorated with adorable lakeside cabin charm. The location, the fire pit with wood supplied, access to kayaks to use and dock on the water for fishing(with fishing rods for the kids/tackle box) were all just perfect. We all had so much fun at the house we really didn't need to leave. The home is well-stocked with all of the cleaning supplies and kitchen utensils needed. Thanks for a wonderful getaway!

Beautiful place. Serene backyard. Wonderful experience all around! The lake itself had some odd rules so I’d suggest researching that if you plan on boating or swimming.
