Beautiful location and wonderful amenities

We were very impressed right when we arrived. These guys have thought of everything. Place was clean, and just like the pictures. The kitchen was well stocked with everything you would need. There was plenty of room for all of us and it was nice to have two bedrooms downstairs and the master upstairs. The recreation rooms downstairs and the living area upstairs were perfect for hanging out. Big dining room for meals. We had no issues with anything and our host checked in several times during the weekend to make sure all was well. I was happy to pay for such a lovely place on the lake. We used the kayak and loved the several floors of balconies that overlooked the lake. What a beautiful place. We will definitely book this place again when we're back in town. Thank you!

Comfortable, Cozy Lake Getaway

Beautiful and well-kept lake property with very friendly, helpful owners. Perfect location if you’re looking for a relaxing, low-key lake environment to share with friends and family. Close to stores, restaurants, and regional attractions. Interior is large but intimate, so people can have their own space without feeling isolated. Nice place to vacation for a few days!

From first booking the host was communicating with us about the property. They answered all my questions and they even provided a very useful guide to the property and the surrounding area!The house was spotless and every room had extra bedding. The kitchen was fully stocked and had everything we needed to prepare meals. We stayed for three nights and prepared every meal we ate in the kitchen. There were board games to use, a dart board, ring toss and a big connect 4 game. We lacked for nothing. There were internet connected tvs throughout the house that were easy to use. The view of the lake was beautiful. The back of the house had an upper deck with seating and the walk out basement had plenty of areas to relax and enjoy the views.Overall we had a great stay and would definitely book again.

Lake Decatur

This is our second time staying at this house. We had a wonderful weekend. The house was spotless when we arrived. The beds are very comfortable and the kitchen has everything you need to cook with. We also enjoyed both of the outdoor grills. We spent most of the weekend outside. The deck and kayaks were put to good use.
