We had a very relaxing getaway. The house was clean and tastefully decorated. Quiet time was spent on the screened porch and sitting on the dock. Our canine fur babies really enjoyed the fenced yard. Hosts Mark and Laurie were readily available for any needs or questions that arose.

We loved our stay here, this is our second time at the hideaway and it was as wonderful and relaxing as ever. The waterfront is a beautiful backdrop and we loved having our meals on the screened in lanai. The yard is very welcoming for pets, our dog loved being outdoors after a very cold and dreary winter up north. For a meal in town, everyone should try the Hometown Deli, you will not be disappointed.

We were so happy with everything that this place has to offer, it was a perfect fit for our vacation and the owners are very accomodating. We highly recommend it for a relaxing stay away from the hustle and bustle of the coast. Sitting on the dock in the evening and enjoying nature was a perfect way to end the day.

We had the nicest weekend here. The home was beautiful and the owners are so thoughtful. From extra seating for the dock, to recommendations to local attractions, to fully stocked coffee selections, there isn't anything they didn't think of. The property is well kept and in a quiet neighborhood and perfect for a relaxing getaway by the lake. Thank you Laurie and Mark for a great weekend! We'd love to come back.
