NOTES
As mentioned, this property is on a private road. The speed limit on this road is 10mph—please be mindful and respectful of this. Rental is towards the end of the road, so it is very peaceful with little traffic. Road is PERFECT for biking, jogging, walking, etc.. Be sure to wave at all the neighbors on the way in!
Travel time from the main road to the property is approx. 20 minutes.
We highly recommend bringing your groceries and supplies with you—going to the stores can be time consuming due to the private location of the property. Spend your time enjoying the lake instead!
A boat lift is provided for V-bottom boats that weigh 4000lbs or less. If your boat does not meet this criteria, you may launch and load at Long Point State Park. Due to unpredictable weather and the 2-3 foot waves that it can bring, tying of boats to the dock is not permitted. Broken boats and docks are no fun and we know fun is the goal.
Smoking or vaping inside the property is not allowed. Feel free to smoke outside on one of the porches.
NO large or loud parties are permitted. The neighbors are lovely and kind people that are enjoying their friend and family time too. Small gatherings with your family and friends with reasonable and respectful music volume is highly encouraged!

10 / 10Outstanding·Aug 2025
Well equipped home on a beautiful lake with spectacular views and sunsets!
10 / 10Outstanding·Jul 2025
We enjoyed the space, the dock and the outdoor gazebo and seating. It was a multi-generational trip with ages from 23-87 years and everyone was very happy with the place. Plenty of towels for both the kitchen and the bathrooms, plenty of dishes, the only thing lacking was enough wine glasses. We enjoyed using the pool rings and the kayaks. The house was comfortable, the cliff to the back of us was nice for shading the property first thing in the morning. A 3-mile long road with a 10-mile-an-hour speed limit ensures you remember to make a list of everything you might want from the store! We had the added benefit of being there over the 4th, and got to watch some pretty great fireworks all around the lake.
10 / 10Outstanding·Jun 2025
The property is in a beautiful and quiet location. We loved the rustic and relaxed style of the property. When we needed help with the door lock, the homeowner was very responsive. The final 20 minutes of the drive to the house are along the waterfront and the speed limit is low because the road is small and there are people walking, playing and tending to their flowerbeds, close to the roadside. We planned to bring all our food with us on arrival so we could limit our drives in and out. We respected the homeowner’s request for water saving measures.
