Beautiful home. It was our second time staying in this house. The location is perfect. Its in a quiet neighborhood, but it's also very close to everything. All the restaurant's and bars on thr island are as close as can be! My one and only complain is that both beds are rather squeeky.

Lake stay
Beautiful home, it had everything we needed. Very clean. Nice view
This was the perfect home to get-away from a busy schedule. Spent a lot of time enjoying the beautiful view of the cove sitting on the back porch. A perfect get-away.

Cody cottage on the lake
The house was very lovely. Two bedrooms and each had it's own bathroom. The kitchen was well stocked for making meals. There was a General Dollar store 5 minutes away for anything you needed. A great place to get away for a weekend or a while.
We loved the cabin it was clean and stocked with everything we needed. It was peaceful and gave my family and I a chance to slow down and refresh and reconnect. We got to watch the wild life and we where going to try and fish just kept raining, but the whole weekend was fantastic!!
Love the interior updates. They make the house feel fresh, clean, and new. Beds and sheets were fresh and new. Loved being able to tie up my boat up to the dock! We’ll be back!
Enjoyed our stay! The house was very nice, updated, and clean. Loved the location, back porch, dock for our boat, and that I could bring my Corgi. He enjoyed his first time on our boat! The only issue that we had was when we arrived the Utility Trash Can was FULL by the Road. So, we had no where to place our kitchen trash over our 4 day stay. We hope to come back to stay soon. Thank you!
This house is in the perfect setting for a lake getaway. It was a treat being so close to the water and we spent hours relaxing and enjoying the surroundings from the dock as well as the back deck. We did wish the back property was less overgrown near the fire pit - we would have spent more time in that area as well. The home is comfy and clean with fun lake decor. The kitchen is well stocked with dishes and utencils, and we had several meals there. The living/dining/kitchen area has plenty of space and comfortable seating and made for a great place to relax and visit. And when we did leave the property, it was an easy drive to area attractions and restaurants.
We had an absolutely fantastic time staying at this place. From start to finish, everything exceeded our expectations.
Upon arrival, we were warmly greeted and given a thorough tour of the property. The space was immaculately clean and beautifully decorated, providing a cozy and welcoming atmosphere. The amenities provided were top-notch, ensuring that we had everything we needed for a comfortable stay.
The location was perfect, with access to boat ramps nearby and stores. We enjoyed exploring the area and found plenty of great dining options nearby.
Overall, our experience was nothing short of amazing. We cannot recommend this property highly enough. Thank you for such a memorable stay—we will definitely be back!
Thanks again,
Jake
We had a wonderful time at this vacation rental! There were two couples, and there was plenty of space. We also each had our own private bathrooms, which is a big deal! The home was well-stocked, however, there were no cookie/baking sheets, so plan accordingly. The neighborhood is quiet and well-kept. We had one very minor issue with one of the toilets, and it was fixed very quickly. And on New Year's Eve, at that! The owner was very responsive and very easy to work with! Overall, it was a wonderful time at a cozy home! We would highly recommend it!
Very peaceful and quiet. The house was beautiful and had all the things you would ever need. Loved the dock access and floating in the water. Will definitely be back.
We loved our stay at this wonderful lake house! Great house!
Such a nice place!! Great host!! Great deck, and if you have dogs, they have an awesome fenced in backyard.
It's close to everything on Grand Lake.
We loved staying here!
From start to finish, this priory and owners were amazing! Close to all the water activities on Grand Lake, food and bars by boat and great fishing! The swim dock was a huge plus and so relaxing and the neighbors were great!
This was the 2nd time staying at this location, and again, it did not disappoint. It’s a great location about 10-15 minutes away from the dock we used and is very easy to get to. Looking forward to future visits.
The house was immaculate. The view was awesome. It had everything that you would need for a stay at the lake. Only a mile from an incredible golf course. Would definitely stay there again.
