About this house rental
Every great once in a while you find yourself in a vacation rental that truly feels like a home.
We’ve worked hard to bring that experience to our guests. As you walk up to the door, you pass our well tended flower bed. Once inside the feeling of being at home hits you, from the living room where you can sink into the furniture and enjoy a movie on a 75” smart TV, to the comfortable beds with upscale pillows, to having a family meal at our large dining room table. There is a rec room were kids can hang out and watch their own 55” Smart TV, then sleep in one of the two Murphy beds.
As a cook, I’ve worked hard to equip the kitchen with nearly everything you might need. When I travel, I’ve found so many disappointing kitchens. Here we have more than salt, pepper and garlic salt, we have a full range of herbs and spices for you to create the meal of your dreams! The pots and pans are no thrift store find. In October we went with a new set of Anolon Advanced Hard Anodized Nonstick Cookware. I’ve used the same cookware myself and it is a dream to cook on. There is a a toaster, blender, mixer, crock pot, electric griddle, and even an air fryer. There is also bake ware and a range of cooking utensils.
For business travelers we have an office nook in the rec room with 2 desks and even a color multi function laser printer. Of course we have high speed WiFi that reaches every room in the house. If you don’t feel like being chained to a desk to do remote work, the WiFi is strong on the back porch, but the distraction of the lake view might make you a little less productive.
Oh yes, I should speak about the lake. From the porch and windows on the back side of the house you have a view of our quiet little cove on Lake Bowen. Walk through the back yard past the fire ring and you arrive at more seating at the lake where you can enjoy a drink and listen to the sounds of the frogs from early spring to late summer. Walk just a little further and you find yourself on a dock. When the water is warm enough, you can swim right from the dock, but no diving, the lake is not deep in this cove.
We have several kayaks to share with our guests. Our insurance company does require a signed waiver to use them, but that can be done quickly online. There are four 10 foot kayaks, two 10 foot fishing kayaks, two 10 foot tandem kayaks, and even two youth kayaks.
If you have your own boat, you are welcome to bring it. Just be aware that you will have to register it at Anchor Park, about a mile from the house. If you are coming from out of state, you might consider renting a pontoon boat instead as out of state registration is pricey. Registration for non powered boats, be it a kayak, paddleboard, or even a small sailboat (you will have to take the mast down to get under the bridge) is reasonable even for out of state boats.
We hope you come down and enjoy all we have to offer!
We do have a required pet fee of $50 and accept up to 2 dogs.

Frog Haven was absolutely one of the best VRBO experiences we have ever had. From the hospitality of the host to the lovely setting, it made our family's Easter a special getaway. The cleanliness and decor were outstanding. The well-equipped kitchen and comfortable beds were a delight. My hearing-impaired elderly mom appreciated that the host had enabled the television's caption option so that she could read what was being said. The attention to detail for the comfort of guests is amazing If I could give 10 stars for a review, I would. We hope that we can return to this wonderful and relaxing place again in the future.

Beautiful House, had everything we needed. Very clean and well kept. Great location with a lot of stores and restaurants nearby.Charlie, the host, was very helpful and stayed in touch while we were there during an unprecedented snow storm. He cleared the driveway and put down salt so we didn’t wipe out on the ice.This is a must visit property. Thank you for everything.
