Amazing stay
This was the best vacation we have had in a long time. Great location and beautiful house right on the lake with your own sand beach in the backyard. We enjoyed every minute we were there. Looking forward to staying here again.

Relaxing Lake House Getaway
My family and I thoroughly enjoyed our stay here. The house was clean and spacious with lots of natural light. The large deck overlooking the lake was perfect for visiting with friends while watching our kids swim and fish off the dock. The outdoor kitchen located on the back deck made it so easy to cook lunch and dinner without needing to call the kids in from the lake until it was time to eat. We were able to rent the owners pontoon during our stay and found the price to be low compared to other daily pontoon rentals. We all enjoyed our evening fishing trips on the boat. The owners and care taker of the rental offered excellent communication. There was also Wi-Fi available which made it nice for completing a few work tasks while overlooking the lake. We will for sure be saving this rental for future trips!

Perfect for golf weekend
Came up here with a few friends for a golf trip and loved the house. House was more spacious than anticipated from pictures. Very clean and had everything stocked that we needed; paper towels, toilet paper, soft towels, etc. Beds were very comfortable and much appreciated after being out in the sun all day. Check in and out were very simple and Jessica and Rick were attentive and responsive. Felt like we had our own private up north cabin out on the water, all while being a short 10-15 minute drive to some of the best courses I have ever played and a surprisingly lively Gaylord. My only regret is not staying longer.
