About this property

The secluded Lakefront home is on almost two acres of wooded land with pine, oak, magnolia, and hickory trees. Enjoy the beautiful waterfront views from the indoor living area, large wrap-around deck, or brand new dock with sundeck and screen in the room. Starlink Wi-Fi is available at the house.

Walk from the deck of the house on a wooden walkway down to our beautiful large dock. The dock has a large screened-in room with a comfortable love seat, two lounge chairs, a coffee table, an end table, and a ceiling fan with light. This is the perfect spot to relax, read, enjoy the lakefront, or even bring the laptop down for work outside. There is also a large sundeck with two Adirondack chairs and a chaise lounge for sitting outside to enjoy the sunrise and sunset. We also have an outdoor shower on the dock to shower off after your swim.

The pontoon housed in the boat house on the dock is available for rental at an additional charge. Please contact for more information.

The house is on a private, spring-fed lake recognized for excellent fishing, swimming, relaxing, floating on a raft, boating, and skiing. Be sure to try out some fishing, as our lake is great for catching bass, bluegill, and sunfish. Fishing poles and tackle are provided. Enjoy the 2-person kayak or single kayak around the large lake.

The spotless waterfront home has two good-sized bedrooms, one renovated bathroom, and a large open-concept living area comprising the brand new kitchen, dining area, and living room with panoramic lakefront views. Both bedrooms are outfitted with gorgeous Amish-made solid wood furniture. The kitchen is fully stocked to prepare your meals in-house. The large, solid wood, Amish-made breakfast nook is perfect for gathering the family around to share in the bounty from your lake fishing. Outside dining on the deck on a beautiful poly lumber Amish patio set is also available.

Our home will surely become your home away from home and the perfect retreat to get away from it all!

Spring Break getaway

Our stay was wonderful. We had everything we needed. We saw eagles and other wild life everyday. Fishing is good right off the dock, we rented the pontoon and found it very nice to cruise the lake.

A wonderful lakeshore cabin!

Love this place. Hope to come back. Loved the screened dock room and watching the eagles and noted that there was a barred owl nearby. Went kayaking and hiked the nearby trails. Even watch a SpaceX rocket launch. My dog enjoyed the thrill of the hunt with the lizards who teased her at every turn. So relaxing and rejuvenating!

Six stars would be more accurate!!!

If solitude is your goal, this is the place. The cottage is well maintained, and the lake is beautiful. Perfect for flat water kayaking and fishing. The host has thought of everything and the furnishings were of top quality. Should have booked our entire vacation there. Thank you

Peaceful & Fun

My sister and I had a remarkable stay at this lovely place. The house was adorable, clean and comfortable and the property was absolutely stunning. We took the pontoon boat out on the lake twice and even though the temperature was a little chilly the boat was really fun!! Our puppies even loved the pontoon rides. We hiked some local trails for 3 days and loved coming back to the comfy house (with an absolutely stunning view). We had a fire in the firepit and roasted sausages and marshmellows which was perfect for our chilly weather. Linse was an amazing host and made the entire process easy. She also left us a warm welcome note and bottle of champaign - what a sweet way to start off a little adventure. The reference book was full of things to do, places to go and had all the instructions you need, (I wish every VRBO owner did this) which makes the stay so much more pleasant. I would reccomend this place to anyone who would want to have a "base camp" for local activities or someone that wants a lovely place to relax. I would definately love to come back and stay here. Thank you Linse, you and your lovely house was fabulous!!
