This lake house was the perfect place to celebrate my dad’s 60th birthday with our family! It was relaxing, private and peaceful. The house was exactly as described and had everything you would need for a lake vacation.<br/>The driveway is pretty steep but not as bad as we expected it to be. The only downside is we had a hard time getting our boat trailer to fit/get turned around at the bottom of the driveway but we got it figured out after some maneuvering, just be aware that some trailers may not work with the driveway. There is plenty of flat parking for vehicles without trailers though. <br/>The dock was perfect and we were able to keep our bass boat protected for the weekend which is a plus. The location was great because you’re far enough away from all the traffic but also close enough to the attractions. We throughly enjoyed our stay and hated that we had to go back to reality!

Easy to find. Beautiful, peaceful private spot rite on the water with a nice private dock. Inside the house we enjoyed the fuse ball table and the nostalgia from the arcade games! The property was perfect for our 2 dogs as well. There's no doubt, we'll definitely be back!
