Lakehouse property with private pool + bonus space sleeps 14

Never have a bad day at the lake again! Our home includes a private heated indoor pool and outdoor hot tub overlooking the lake so the fun doesn’t have to stop even if it’s raining. This listing includes our newly renovated bonus space that has a kitchenette, living room and theatre area, and a 2nd private sleeping area with a queen and twin trundle bed. This area is perfect for privacy when two families stay together. The main unit has 2 queen bedrooms, and a queen and twin sleeper sofa. There is also pass through bunk room between the two areas that has a twin over full bunk bed included with this rental. All together there are three floors of living area and enough sleeping space for 14 people so that the whole crew can spread out. The house is located close to the main boating and tubing area of the lake and just off one of the best swim zones on the lake. Fishing on the lake is great and we include a couple kayaks that guests can use. Pontoons are available for rent at the marina. Need something else to do in the area? Why not go hiking or zip lining on one of many scenic trails in the awesome Shawnee National Forest or visit the local wineries. Whether you’re looking for some rustic outdoor adventure or just want to hang out and relax, our property has it all. For smaller parties of up to 8 that don’t need as much room but still want to experience the fun of a lakehouse and private pool and hot tub please see our other listing which is just the main area of the home and sleeps up to 8 but does not include the bonus area or bunk room.

We enjoyed our stay with the ample space and especially the indoor pool for our large group of families. The brand new deck and access to dock was great. Host was very responsive with questions. Some repairs are needed on porch doors and windows to fully enjoy the lake breezes. It's a great location on the lake, with access to nearby towns and all Shawnee NF has to offer. A fun stay.

Fun boating weekend with extended family

We had a wonderful time at this property. The kids, ages 2-18, had so much fun in the private indoor pool and outdoor hot tub. We had four couples, who each had their own bedroom. The large apartment above the garage had a king bed, twin trundle bed and a large sectional sofa, providing ample room for my sister’s family with 5 young kids. The 3 teenagers used the pull out couches in the basement living room. The dock allowed us to pull the pontoon up to the property to load and unload, although the water was too shallow to allow for swimming off the dock. We rented a tritoon boat with a pull behind tube. Everyone had a blast tubing. The house was very clean and well stocked with everything we needed, including a large capacity new washer and dryer. This was a 10 out of ten vacation!!!

Lots of space and private dock

This property was GREAT. Many potted flowers greeted us at the front door. House was very clean and well supplied with pots, pans, and towels. We enjoyed using the kayaks, paddle boat, pool, foosball, grill, and hot tub. There were even life jackets available for our use. It was nice to have a private dock. We rented all the space since there were 12 of us so it was nice to have 2 refrigerators for our cold foods. Large round table accommodated our family of 12 with plates, glasses and utensils for all! Lots of beds but the pullout mattress not too comfortable so we used the air mattress provided instead. We thought the pool temp was a bit cold. There are lots of stairs to navigate to the different areas: basement, deck, bedrooms, pool and dock so it was harder for older members to get around and we had to constantly watch a toddler around the stairs. Host responded to texts immediately.
