### Additional Information

**Please note:** The Corp of Engineers prohibits the use of our dock; however, a gentle bank allows for easy loading and unloading of boats right in front of the house on the lakeside. For those looking to rent a boat slip, the State Park Marina—only a mile away—offers affordable daily rentals on a first come, first serve basis.

During the colder months, lake levels may drop, presenting a unique opportunity to hike and explore the fascinating lake bottom. ***As of 5/13/23, we want our guests to be aware that this year’s lake levels will be five feet lower due to dam repairs. Rest assured, swimming and fishing remain enjoyable, and launching a boat from the state park ramp will still be available. We are also working on relocating our docks further up the shore to enhance access to the water during this time. We can't wait to welcome you to our slice of paradise!8

8 / 10Excellent·Jul 2026
We had a great stay. However, upon arrival, we found busted water balloons out back along with cigarette butts from the previous stay I assume. There was poison ivy/oak all over around walkways, trees, decking, fire pit was not utilized due to the amount in that area. Someone to spray the vines would be great. Sheets on one of the beds upstairs had stains on them so they weren't slept on. There was a bad smell outside that either came from trash bins or sewer. I wish the lake view was little better but not a deal breaker.The home was very clean, had a screened in porch and everything else we needed except a blender. Kayak's were available for use and were great! We saw a deer in the neighbors yard. Host was wonderful to deal with as well. She was prompt and kept me in the loop about the water level and checked on us after our stay. I recommend Happy Jack's Winery! Very friendly and very good wines! All in all, I'd stay there again!

This was our second year in a row staying with our family and it was just as nice this year as last. Even with lots of rain while there, the back screened in porch provided a wonderful place to play games and listen to the rain hit the roof while still being able to see the lake. Our son was able to catch some fish down at the shore and it's close enough to everything we needed while there. The owner is super responsive and the house was very clean. We'll definitely be back!

Great house and location. Plenty of amenities and the views were breathtaking. The water is just a few steps from the house.Only drawback was that the boat dock for the rental was inoperable and we had a boat. Otherwise 10/10.
