Great place overall! Comfortable beds, great screened in porch/deck with view of backyard, and incredible view of the water. Having a covered area with seating for the grill area was also a major plus. The property is in a location where no boats seem to pass by, so it’s extremely quiet and allows you to enjoy the sounds of nature. Hosts were very accommodating with a welcome basket, and having all important items/information labeled in the house. We would absolutely return again!

I had an amazing experience at this Slice of Heaven. The neighborhood is very quiet and serene. The house is extremely inviting and comfortable with lots of extra touches from the hosts. I slept like a baby and enjoyed watching the sunset and sunrise on the screened back porch overlooking the lake. The view was unforgettable and breathtaking. I wish I could have stayed longer.This will be my preferred home any time I'm in the area!

Absolutely delightful stay!

It is right on the lake and picture perfect beautiful. Sipping coffee in the mornings on the 3 season porch watching a peaceful sunrise and listening to fish jump in the lake, it was perfect! The house is super clean and the extremely comfortable beds made for peaceful evenings. Our host was very tuned in to make our stay most pleasant. Sublime VRBO.

Truly a Slice of Heaven

What a fantastic view! This house was just as described and impeccably clean. The owner supplied everything you need in the kitchen. You could easily prepare a meal without having to bring a lot of "extras". No small detail was missed. The owner was also incredibly helpful, offering suggestions for dining and swimming spots nearby. The beds were super comfortable, and the house genuinely felt like a home away from home.

All went well with my stay. There is no road sign leading to the property so it’s easy to miss the turn. I had one concern and the hostess addressed it. I would definitely recommend this location.

Met some friends for a girls weekend and had an amazing time. We all loved the location and the amenities. We did not leave at all. Views of the lake are stunning. It was on a quiet section of the lake and there were no houses directly across. The screen in porch with rocking chairs were perfect for morning coffee. It was also awesome to have a table out there to eat and have space for activities. I also was able to see a blue heron catch a fish while sitting on the porch. The inside dining room was also perfect for us as we love board games and it offered tons of space. The kitchen is well stocked with pots, pans, and other things for cooking (especially things I have found often left out of rentals). The beds were very comfortable too.All of us agree we booked the best space for us for a relaxing weekend and would return in a heartbeat. The host was very communicative and quick to answer any questions. They were very kinds and accommodating.

I enjoyed my stay on the lake at this property. The home was clean and comfortable. It was very spacious inside and outside for our family of 4. Bathroom: Modern and updated. Toiletries and towels were provided. The quality of the items and decor was nice. The water in the shower was nice and hot. Bedrooms: All rooms were comfortable. The beds were cozy and the temperature was easily adjustable for comfort. Living room: There are several chairs for comfort and areas to eat such as dining table.Kitchen: The kitchen was clean. There is a large refrigerator and appropriate cooking items. I was pleased to see the selection of seasonings to choose from and the ability to utilize various appliances. Outdoors: The grounds around the property are well maintained. Two carports for vehicles, a large deck and screened in porch in the back of the property, which were all well maintained. We were easily able to work and take meetings on the deck and porch areas. Wifi is great! The view of the lake is beautiful and there is seating right on the edge of the lake as well as a fire pit. The pictures of the property are accurate and host is accessible. We appreciated the outreach and easy access. There is a home guide which reinerates the information provided via email. Overall, we enjoyed our stay and would return in the future. Thank you Renee for the thoughtful welcome gift and making our stay special.
