Charlotte’s place at the lake

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was very satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: We had a fantastic stay at Blue Haven Lake House! This is one of the rare properties that looks better in real life than on the pictures. The home is recently remodeled and decorated with an updated taste - we fell in love with it as soon as we stepped through the front door. The kitchen has all utensils you’d need, beds are very comfortable, the master bathroom is stunning. Early October was still warm enough to take out the kayaks and go for a long swim. The outdoor terrace is a great spot to watch the games, or if non is on, the wild live. We made friends with Charlotte the spider...if she’s still there when you visit please don’t smash her dead, but admire the beautiful webs that take her 2-3 hours to spin, and appreciate the free bug control ;). We absolutely loved the weekend we stayed at Blue Haven, and certainly will be back soon!

Beautiful Cabin on Lake

This amazing property was perfect for a quiet weekend away. Very clean and updated! We had our kids from the university join us for the weekend. So much better than a hotel. We cooked, watched football, and just enjoyed the outdoors. Time by the fire was the best! Pretty strict rules regarding guests and number of cars allowed so check that out before renting.
