Happy Halloween
We visited this place with a large company and spent this time with a lot of emotions. Everyone had equal conditions for rest and everyone was satisfied! The only thing that upsets is the lack of a pier near the water. There was no opportunity to enjoy the quiet atmosphere of nature by dipping our feet in the water. But this did not prevent our company from spending this time unforgettable)))

Unforgettable Memories
Our family (four generations) stayed at Waker's Paradise to celebrate my parents' 50th wedding anniversary. It was a perfect location for making memories and celebrating family. The kitchen had everything we needed to cook for a crowd and the lake itself provided access to fun activities for all ages. There's a rope swing right across from the lake house and the jumping bridge is very close by. Additionally, I have never experienced faster or more responsive communication than we did from the owners. We faced a few hiccups when moving in that were completely outside of the owners' control and we were in shock by the effort that they invested to address those concerns. You can tell that they are committed to making sure their guests have good experiences. Overall, I highly recommend Waker's Paradise. Everyone is already asking when we can go back.

Family birthday
Beautiful home, and quiet lake property. It was perfect for a family weekend! The entire family enjoyed it, and loved the location. They all came from out of town so some toiletries (hand soap, shampoo, more dishwashing soap) would have nice to have instead of having to bring them. The boat ramp is very steep.. but we managed. We absolutely loved it here.. would stay again!

Great August Stay
The house was great - very spacious, clean and easy to navigate. The beds were amazing! We've all stayed on terrible cheap VRBO mattresses but everyone agreed that these were heaven. The kitchen was perfect for our large family. The location is a bit far down the no-wake zone but it wasn't too bad. The owner was also extremely responsive to all questions. We'd definitely stay here again. Wonderful trip. Thank you!

We have stayed in this cove multiple times with our large crew. We love the location, the seclusion, and the house! The house is big enough that the 17 of us always have plenty of room. The double fridge, ovens, and dishwasher are always a must with such a large group. The kitchen is fully stocked with everything that you need. The game rooms are always an added bonus. The bed are comfortable and the house is always clean. Lookong forward to our stay again next year!

We really enjoyed our stay. The kitchen is amazing with the appliances and supplies. The only problem is the air conditioning. It is not at all sufficient for the 2 lower levels. It was hot! We really did have a blast! Thank you!

Perfect spot for our intimate wedding ceremony!
We rented this house to be able to host our family and a few friends for our wedding ceremony (on the upper level of the dock) and it was absolutely perfect. The house was beautiful. The location and views were stunning. We loved having two of each appliance in the kitchen. The game room in the basement + hot tub and corn hole on the decks were awesome. Our whole group had a blast and we are all sad to be back to reality. Well worth the investment- you won’t regret it!!

Large well equipped house
Everything was wonderful. Mattress were basic rental property quality but good enough. Very well stocked with supplies in the kitchen and loved the double appliances. One thing I didn’t see noted was that during the winter, the lake is drained and floating docks removed. Not that we would have been swimming but visually not what we expected.

Wonderful Family Christmas Vacation
The house was everything shown but better. The pictures of this place do it no justice for how beautiful it actually is. It was perfectly decorated for Christmas. Our family and especially the children were ecstatic over it. We definitely plan to come back during the summer. The only down side was that the lake was nothing but a running stream, but it was still wonderful nevertheless.

This property was in good condition when we arrived. There were a few things that were broken but overall it was very nice. We had a family group of 10 cousins and some spouses for a total of 14 adults aged 50 to 70. There any Many Stairs with the property! We were aware of this from the photos and website. Some of our group did have trouble with the stairs but overall our experience was really great!

Nice home!
Overall a comfortable home for a large group. We loved the large kitchen with extra appliances and the extra long table and seating on the top deck of the house. Some of the bedrooms were tight squeezes for families (no closets, minimal floor space, nowhere to hang towels). Being toward the end of the cove was great -- minimal boat traffic, and the kids enjoyed the slide on the dock. The owner was terrific to work with and very responsive. We had a very nice vacation!

Not bad
The house was nice and very spacious my only dislikes is I didn’t see the extra house that you could walk to from the steps I didn’t see the boat or the dock that was in the pictures , and I didn’t understand why there’s such a high cleaning fee if we had to do all the cleaning before we left and I don’t like how there’s a contract that you don’t know about until you’ve already paid your money
