I am excited to post my review for this lake house! Lots to tell, but best to start with the two key features: First, the view of the lake from the house (from the large "open concept" dining room / living room) is extraordinary! Really just beautiful and so private and serene. And second, this lake is easily in my top three "swimming hole" lakes that I have had the pleasure to swim in in my long lifetime. Although it was cold, it was perfect swimming water - crisp and clean and completely private. And honestly, I like cold lake water way better than the warmer lakes in the south. It was only about 60-65 degrees during our stay, but we swam and kayaked and sat on the dock. The dock has wide steps that "walk" straight into the lake. I'd imagine that in warmer weather, visitors sit on the steps slightly immersed in the water. The lake is small and very private with very few houses, none of which are close to shore. We really hope to return in warmer weather if our travels bring us back to the area. Although the photos really do the location justice, still I have to say that this lake experience exceeded expectations.
The interior of the home was perfect for our group. Very comfortable open area for meals and lounging, an excellent side porch with lounge chairs and a table for eating meals outdoors, and it also has a view of the lake and a fully equipped kitchen. There are two comfortable bedrooms with great mattresses even my 24 year-old son commented on how comfortable the mattresses were.
Bonney is very organized and communicates wonderfully. I received informative emails prior to our visit along with detailed driving directions. And she was very responsive when we had questions. We had an absolutely wonderful visit to this lake house. It is a 10 out of 10!
