Beautiful Lake Front Property
This place was truly amazing. Very private, lake front with grass lawn and huge dock. So many amenities at this place from fully stocked kitchen to arcade games and toys for all ages. The private dock and yard were awesome. Plenty of space to lounge around on multiple levels. Cute retro bar and outside bar/sitting area as well. We will surely stay here again.

Fantastic lake house! Perfect for the family to enjoy some family-time together. We enjoyed playing games, watching movies, fishing from the dock, and kayaking around the lake. Our dog loved running in and out the boat launch swimming in the water. The sunset was absolutely stunning!

Such a great family home
So easy to work with the owner. So responsive and flexible. This is the only time an owner has offered a late checkout without being asked. They also shipped items that we left behind promptly without question. It was just so comforting knowing how easy it is to work with the home owner! Thank you!!!!

Exactly what we were looking for
We planned a two week getaway to do some fishing on Moses Lake. We wanted to be able to launch our boat, tie up at the dock, and not have to trailer it again until the end of the trip. This house worked perfectly for that and had plenty of easy parking spaces to keep the trailer and our vehicles. There were only three of us and we didn't even use the downstairs. The kitchen is very well stocked and had everything we needed and then some! We had a great time and plan on returning.

What more can I say about this place, but paradise. A group of us childhood friends get together every Labor Day weekend with or family’s. We chose this amazing house and it was nothing less than perfect. From the overall cleanliness, everything you need and a great host, it was amazing. Lisa was very responsive and we will definitely be coming back at some point.

Perfect family escape
House worked great for 4 adults, 4 teenagers & a dog. Plenty of sleeping & hanging out space, kitchen is well stocked and the view is lovely! Lake is very shallow but worked perfect for kayaking and lazing around in floaties. Stairs to the dock were a challenge for the 87yo, but he enjoyed sitting on the covered deck and watching the teenagers play.

Great family friendly home
We rent a lake home every year with my family and we will absolutely be staying here again! The home was perfect for our group! The home was very clean and had everything we needed and more. We rented jet skis one day and use the kayaks the others. Toys for the kids, games to play as a family, great spaces for hanging out inside and out. Lisa was absolutely fabulous, very communicative and accommodating! Would absolutely recommend

Perfect weekend getaway
First time using VRBO and it couldn’t be more perfect. Most of us in the party are HCW and the pandemic had us burnt out. This lake side house was a blessing. We were able to do just that and more. Access to the lake was so convenient we were able to swim, paddle board, and watch sunrises and sunsets. It was breathtaking. The property is well managed, clean, and convenient. Shannon and Lisa were so kind and attentive. It was a well maintained and beautiful home. We were so lucky to be able to enjoy it.

Great place for a weekend!
Super nice house to stay in and relax for the weekend. There was accommodation for children as well as pets! Beautiful view of the sunset from the backyard as well. Some downsides were that there are many bugs (which can be expected) and that the lake water is not ideal for swimming. Overall was a nice stay. BTW, it would be nice if there're a hot tub.

5 star property for sure!! These hosts have thought of EVERYTHING!! Can't wait to return!
This is by far one of the best vacation rentals we have ever stayed at. There were 2 adults and EIGHT teenagers. There was plenty of room for everyone to sleep, relax, hang out, and not be on top of each other. The location was perfect, wonderful outside property with a dock, fully fenced yard, multiple patios, grill ect. There was kayaks for us to use, patio chairs and a patio firepit for relaxing. There wasn't ANYTHING inside the house that they forgot. Every little details was thought of. Everything you could need in the kitchen for cooking and a fully stocked coffee bar. They were even super dog friendly and provided a kennel, dog bed, bowls toys and even doggie bags in the yard! Their communication was superb. 10/10 would reccomended this property!!
