Perfect lake getaway
The lakehouse offered everything we needed for a lovely family trip. Beautiful view of the mountains and lake. Loved the dock and lake equipment! First time trying out a kayak and paddleboard. We paddled with the kayaks to a jumping rock in the next cove over. My son enjoyed fishing off the dock. We also enjoyed a fire in the chiminea. Grocery store was just 10 minutes away. Rented a pontoon.

Very relaxing
Nice place, very convenient for lake activities. Just a suggestion on those bringing a boat…Go straight to the Marina and drop the boat and trailer prior to going to the house. That road is tricky pulling a trailer.

Amazing lake vacation!
We had another fabulous stay at Mark's house on the lake -- 5 stars and more! It is a wonderfully comfortable and bright home with lots of great outdoor space. We enjoyed the beautiful lake view from the house, deck, and dock each day. Plus, we had so much fun with the paddle boards and kayaks. Mark is a super responsive and helpful host -- and I'll be reserving a week again next year for sure!

Perfect Easy Getaway
We so enjoyed our stay! The hosts seemed to have thought through every detail to make guests comfortable. Everything was labeled and easy to find. The water equipment was all clean and ready to use (we loved canoeing on the lake!).The house had wonderful views and good books to read on its incredible porch. This time it was just adults, but we look forward to coming back and enjoying this special place with our kids.
Thanks so much for the hospitality!

Beautiful Lake views
We loved staying at the small house on the Lake. The property has many different areas to enjoy the outdoors and Kayaks we used even when the weather was cold. Would love to come back sometime during summer time in the future to fully enjoy the lake. It was very peaceful and relaxing which is what we were looking for to do.
I only wished the house had a dishwasher because my hands get extremely dry during winter time, but again the Lake views were stunning specially during sunsets so it was worth it the stay just for that :) I will definitely go back during summer time.
