This home features 3 bedrooms plus sleeping loft and, 2 full bathrooms, a jacuzzi bathtub, fully equipped kitchen, fireplace, TV, high speed internet, business center, and much more!
Wake up and sip a morning beverage from your wrap around deck as you watch golden rays of sun rise over the glistening water.

This property was outstanding!! Owners were wonderful. Everything in the house was first class! Everything was so clean!! Kitchen had whatever we needed. Beds, pillows and towels were so soft and comfortable!! Kayaks, paddle boards and row boat outside kept everyone busy and having fun on the water! Water was clean and so safe especially for our friend’s children!!! Fishing off the dock was a special treat!! We will definitely go back… hopefully in the fall!!

We find that this property is ideal for our family. We have young children who enjoy everything about the lake. We all caught fish, kayaked and swam everyday. Barry and Heidi are wonderful hosts. They went out of their way to make our stay even more enjoyable. We had everything we needed for our week. You will not find a cleaner or better appointed house. We will be back next near.

The lake house was immaculate. Everything you could possibly need is in the house. The house is super comfortable. The back deck overlooking the lake was great to sit on a sip wine! Using the kayaks and the rowboat on the lake are super fun
Thank you, Heidi and Barry! .

My family loved everything about this immaculate lake house. Other members of my family rented the owner’s adjoining property, and that made this wonderful experience even better. We were treated as valued guests from the introductory tour and throughout the week. The owners are great and provided us with everything we needed for our entire stay. We caught fish, had bonfires, and enjoyed the lake every day. This was our second year staying here and we hope to back next year!

This was our second stay at The Osprey and what a wonderful stay it was! Heidi and Barry continue to be excellent hosts and their home continues to be a lakeside paradise. A newly renovated dock made it even more enjoyable. Kayaking, fishing, swimming, constant bbq’s and plenty of quiet time with the most beautiful view. Drinking a morning cup of coffee, lakeside, is the best way to start your day. We enjoyed every moment and look forward to returning.

My family and I loved our stay here. The home was very clean and fit our family well (4 adults/2 children). We enjoyed much time out in the yard and on the lake kayaking and fishing. The area was quiet which made for a relaxing and peaceful getaway. All communication with Barry and Heidi was easy and smooth. Would definitely return if we ever come to the area again!

Incredible lake front home
Four adults and three children thoroughly enjoyed staying at the Osprey for a week in mid July. The home was spacious and beautifully decorated - there was plenty of space to spread out, but also communal space to eat and relax together. The kitchen was well outfitted with everything you need to cook at home. The outdoor spaces have everything - whether reading on a lounge chair enjoying the view, or kayaking on the lake there are so many ways to enjoy your time. This house is nicer than other places we've stayed and it is even more lovely in person.
Heidi and Barry were so welcoming and accommodating. We can't wait to book again for next year!

A great week
We had a great time at the Osprey house. Heidi and Barry made everything easy and simple. The house is very clean and the kitchen is stocked with everything you need. All we needed to bring was food! Everything was provided...Sheets, shower towels, lake towels. There are 3 kayaks and a rowboat. We used them all. There are even swim fins and a snorkle mask. We enjoyed the firpit two nights and the BBQ grill as well. The lake was a comfortable swimming temperature. There is a welcome book that has all the information you need for the house and the surrounding area. There's a high school 10 minutes away with two tennis courts which we used 3 times. And not far from that a place to buy fresh pies. We got two.

A slice of heaven!
If you are looking for a little slice of heaven, you must stay at The Osprey!
Barry and Heidi are amazing people. Friendly, accommodating, sincere and extremely thoughtful. They take pride in their home and give quite a bit of thought into all the little “extras” that they provide to make your stay even more special. Down to the adorable lake house coffee mugs they give you as a gift.
Kitchen was well stocked with basic essentials. Both bathroom and beach towels were provided and the laundry room was also well stocked with detergents for our use.
Bedrooms were very spacious and beautifully decorated. The beds themselves were very comfortable in all rooms.
The house itself is spectacular but that’s not all The Osprey has to offer. The outdoor amenities and property are incredible. Kayaks, row boat, floats, fire pit, incredible BBQ for grilling, you name it….it was there for our use. The lake itself is dreamy. Quiet, clean and simply gorgeous. If you like to fish…. Bring your fishing poles and take the fishing kayak out for the day. Everything was just perfect.
I have stayed in several places around the area and The Osprey is by far the most beautiful.
Thank you Barry and Heidi for putting so much thought into your home. We can not wait to come back!

Beautiful lake house!
This is a wonderful property on a peaceful lakefront property. Nicely appointed throughout, thoughtful touches such as the kayaks and the comfortable outdoor furniture make for a pleasant and restful stay. The hosts are friendly, helpful, and accommodating. We (family of 5) had a perfect week on the lake and will look to return next summer!

Wonderful Week on Galway Lake!
We had a wonderful time staying at Barry and Heidi's place. We had plenty of space to spread out, but also to host family that lives local to the area. It was the perfect gathering place for us to all be together and get some quality family time in. The home is beautiful, everything we needed and more was available to us. Heidi and Barry were extremely responsive throughout our trip. The lake views are perfection, and the home was comfortable and welcoming. We hope to return in the near future!

Peaceful Oasis.
If I could give this property more stars I would.
Barry and Heidi are the most helpful and accommodating hosts, even mailing an adapter to us that we left behind.
The house is beautiful located in a perfect spot just steps to the lake its immaculate, spotlessly cleaning and is fully equipt with everything you would need.
Galway Lake is so peaceful, quiet and tranquil. The water is so clean we caught several large healthy fish every day, from large mouth bass to pickerel to blue gill.
We are so happy our family got to spend quality time together at the most amazing house.
Thank you Barry and Heidi for sharing you piece of paradise with us.

Beautiful property on peaceful Galway Lake
The Osprey House is so beautiful! We thoroughly enjoyed our stay, the accommodations were excellent, there was just about everything you would need and the property owners were very welcoming and accessible if needed. We enjoyed the kayaks, having our own lakefront, and the kids loved swimming. We also enjoyed the deck and porch, lots of places to sit and relax and enjoy the view. We even got to see a Bald Eagle or two and some Osprey. Galway Lake is so quiet and peaceful, it was a relaxing and wonderful vacation. Great location, we highly recommend!
