Wonderful weekend getaway
My friends and I found this a perfect spot for our Fall ladies weekend. We enjoyed the lake view from the patio, sitting by the fireplace and comfortable rooms. Next time we'll use the kayaks and firepit! Joe was a great and very responsive host!

Family Get Away
This was a last minute booking due to a hurricane in Florida. Joe was very helpful in the booking process, since there were 18 of us vacationing. The property sits on a beautiful lake, great atmosphere for a family get away!

Bridal Party Lodging
Was a great place to stay and provide space for my bridal party as I got married at Ahavah Cottage 2 min away! I will say that the listing shows the address as the right side of the house but you enter on the left. The check in process was a little delayed and everything was manual/not an electronic checkin, as the owner was out of town and in an area with bad reception, but the nicest people and really glad we stayed here! If anyone is looking for a place to host for a wedding or larger group, I highly recommend!!

Extended family for wedding weekend
We had 11 adults one night and 9 the second. 10 adults with 4 couples and 2 singles to shared the bunk room( bottom bunks) would be perfect. We had a lovely time enjoying the lake view outside with our morning coffee and plenty of room inside to hang out watching tv, or playing games at the kitchen table and counter. The host was very receptive to any questions or needs we had. Great stay for our son’s wedding held in Elysian.

We had a perfect trip
The place was exactly what we hoped for. Joe and Nancy were very helpful but not nosy or intrusive. Hope to be back again. Lake water level was high because of all the rain in the area. Fishing was good. The kids had a ball.

Wonderful location and property!
We were attending a wedding in the area so we’re looking for a VRBO for us and several family members to stay. This is a gem of a place for families to enjoy- inside and out! We loved sitting on the back patio watching the sunset, as well as hanging out on the large sectional in the living room enjoying the view. Would be great for a longer stay- I just wish we had more than a weekend wedding planned. Joe and Nancy are great hosts.

Great family home
This home is well set up for families- with toys and games for kids onsite. We enjoyed meeting the owners and staying in their family vacation home. Would recommend for families seeking a quiet lakefront place.
