Catherine
Fabulous, serene modern lakeside home
May 2025
Had a wonderful stay at this extremely quiet and serene modern lake home. The home was laid out well so that you could gather together or have quiet time alone. The kitchen was well furnished with any appliance or utensil you would need. I appreciated how well things were labeled and the written instructions for the tv. Saw lots of birds and other wildlife. I would heartily recommend this place and I would certainly come back.

Birch Cove Review
August 2024
We had a wonderful time and look forward to coming back. The house was very clean and it was staged perfectly. It looked as though no one lived in yet it had all the amenities needed. They provided white fluffy towels for showering and nice bedding in all areas. The Lake was great also. Lots of fish, but more importantly, a great sand bar to settle in and let the kids play. The owner was very welcoming and kind. We would definitely come back. We got our moneys worth!

Relaxing Bachelorette Party
August 2024
We had 10 girls stay here for a 4 day weekend. We were able to relax, feel safe and go for awesome boat rides right outside of the house! The house was stocked with everything we needed, including extra lawn chairs and all kitchen items needed! The staff member that we worked with, Marisa, ensured our stay was enjoyable and we had all amenities needed. The location is a quick 10 minute drive to Carlos Creek Winery. We rented a pontoon from Toontastic Rentals, which was affordable and also a great company to work with! Overall, we truly enjoyed our stay and will be recommending this house to others!
