An optional 4th bedroom has a queen bed and shares a bathroom with the bunk-room which accommodates 6.

Beautiful house and view of the lake! House was clean, well stocked, and the owners are very responsive and friendly. The A/C did have trouble keeping up on a few hot days on the top floor, even with the drapes shut, to the point we asked if someone could look at the HVAC unit while we were there. The owners did send a technician out, and everything seemed to be working correctly. The owners did say they plan to make some additional modifications soon to address the sun light heating up upstairs. But overall, the experience was excellent and worthy of the 5-star review I gave it. We had a lot of fun kayaking, paddleboarding and playing on the lake mat at the house. The neighborhood pool is small but very nice as well and was not crowded anytime we went. I would highly recommend staying here if you enjoy the combination of the lake and mountains.

This was our 2nd stay at this property. It's a beautiful lake home with large rooms, nice bathrooms, lovely kitchen with everything you need for the whole family. It is a very quiet area. I love the dock where our kids stayed mostly. The views are outstanding. If you want a good steak I recommend Bones Jones about 20 min. drive. My whole family enjoyed the stay and will be back in future

Gorgeous house! Tim and Tara, We wanted to let you know how much we enjoyed your house for our long weekend on Sept 22-25. The house is spacious, gorgeous, well appointed and beautifully furnished! Our group of 14 especially enjoyed the kitchen and dining/ living space with spectacular views of the lake beyond. Our young adult/ teen kids loved their space downstairs and all the games you had available for them. We would happily stay at your house again and thank you for your kind hospitality!

Mike F Super late summer stay. Great house with two spacious living areas. Lots of games, pool table and plenty of separation from top to bottom floor. Nice dock with water mat, kayaks, paddle boards, etc. Excellent swimming right off the dock. Owner is always accessible and responsive. Highly recommend.

Boy’s weekend The house and property are fantastic. Clean, well stocked, pretty much just as advertised. The owners are very easy to work with and on top of everything. It was the perfect place to have some good times with some dear old friends. I would absolutely stay here again.

Excellent house and hosts! We loved our weekend at Tara and Tim’s house! The place was spotless and they were very flexible with us as far as checking in a bit early and checking out a bit late…location was great and loved the views you get coming into the neighborhood/down the driveway. Could not recommend this house or these hosts more!

Amazing quiet and relaxing home This was one of our better boys trips, the home was absolutely amazing, and the Sauna in the main bathroom? To die for. Anytime I am in the area I will look them up. Tara and Tim were amazing host, but to be honest the pictures cannot describe the little details of this home. Bluetooth speakers in the vents of every bathrooom? What??? Thank you guys, we had a blast!!!
