Wedding Weekend

My daughter’s wedding and reception venue were at the spillway recreation area and this house was only a half mile away. It worked out perfectly and the house was just the space we needed to get ready and be close by. Everything was as it is listed. Very happy with this rental and recommend to anyone that needs to stay close in that area.

Animal Sanctuary

We really enjoyed the property. It backed up to the woods. Visited by several family of deer, hawks and various species of birds. Peaceful sitting on the patio drinking coffee and unwinding. Near the lake and not far to wineries, restaurants and other sites. Don’t hesitate to book here. Great value.

Great place close to a boat ramp

Liked that the house was so close to the lake. It is a bit outdated, but had everything we needed. The privacy was great and the back yard, with deer, reminded us of hime.It was a challenge to turn around in the driveway with a boat in tow, but we managed by backing in from the main road, I didn't want to drive in the grass.Would stay here again.

Close to the lake.

Everything was as the said it was. The only thing that was wrong was the fan in the master bedroom didn’t work. The chain was missing and no room to turn a boat around in driveway. But other than that we all enjoyed our stay there. We will be back again!!!!

Perfect location if you're heading to Rend Lake

The marina was 5 minutes away. It was a very quiet area with a large backyard area. The pictures showed deer and those pictures were accurate! The showers were great and living and dining room were spacious and met our needs perfectly. Everyone was comfortable. I would stay here again.
