Golf weekend

This home was perfect for our golf trip. Would make a good home for multiple families to share a trip together. Lots of activities to do at the house and a great host that is quick to respond to any questions you have. Would definitely stay here again.

Great house on the Lake

Spacious accommodations with plenty of comfortable beds for our group of 12. Our young adults loved the game room and we all spent time in and on the lake during this hot stretch of August. Having kayaks, innertubes, and a paddleboat available for use was a bonus. We were able to sit on the deck and patio to eat, have coffee or watch the birds, and the location is convenient but feels private. Great stay for our 3 families!

Decatur Lake House

This place was great! We had 10 adults and 2 children. There was plenty of space for all! The beds were so comfortable! Lots of room for dining in and outdoors! The fire pit was the best we have seen on our trips! The house was warm and friendly! We had everything we needed! Also all appliances and furniture were very nice! The patio, balcony, and floating dock were nice as well! We go on a family vaca every year and all of us give this place 2 thumbs up!!

Perfect House for a large family!

We rent a house each summer for our family to gather. Our kids and grandkids all joined us this year. The house was perfect for our needs. There is so much to do in the area and all within a 10 - 15 minute drive from the house (zoo, children's museum, water park, craft brewery). The game room in the garage was fantastic for the family to hand out, play pool, darts, ping pong, bags, etc. Matthew was each to communicate with, we have a great experience.

Great Place!

We had a great time at this property. The game room was a lot of fun for the teenagers, as was the lake. We used the fire pit twice and enjoyed the house. It is in a nice area of town. The beds were very comfortable. Thanks for a great stay!

Excellent stay for visiting family

When my grandmother passed away a couple of days before Christmas, we suddenly needed a place to accommodate incoming family--at the last minute, and during the holidays. The host was very responsive, even though we placed the booking on Christmas day. We were so lucky to find this place, conveniently located near my grandmother's neighborhood. The place was stylish and well stocked, and also offered some fun activities for the younger set and separate conversation spaces for the olders to reminisce. Would love to come back during warmer weather to take advantage of the location right on Lake Decatur. And keep your eyes open for deer--they love the stand of woods nearby!
