Downstairs is a living area, dining area, stocked kitchen, and another full bathroom. The back door opens to a wooded patio with grill and an outdoor dining area.

The house was awesome for our group of 3 families. It was very nice and spacious. We loved the view of the lake.

We stayed for 4 nights in November 2023 with family and friends. Enjoyed the peaceful time together at the lake. House was very clean, kitchen well equipped, plenty of sitting space inside and outside. Our kids enjoyed playing at the lake, fishing, kayaking (two kayaks were available to our liking). Thanks to friendly neighbor who took our kids on a guided joyride on his speedboat around the lake We all enjoyed walking on the shore, skipping rocks and fantastic views. Would recommend to everyone looking for peaceful stay at the lake.

Stayed here for a guys weekend and had such a great time! The water was low with excellent rocks for skipping. Loved the kayaks. Dining room had plenty of space for board games. Great view of the water/sunset. Had trouble finding the entry code but the host was very quick to answer our questions. Would stay again!

We had a great time during our stay. Even though the weather was wet and cold, everyone enjoyed the games and puzzles that were at the property. My youngest even enjoyed, going outside and looking through the leaves to find the white oak, acorns and hickory nuts that she was surprised to find.
Nothing bad to say about this place. We even met the neighbors dogs which were our welcoming committee. :).

We had such an amazing weekend stay at Docktales and Dreams with our family. It is a convenient 20 minute drive to restaurants and grocery store. The owners have literally thought of everything you would need to enjoy your stay. Fully stocked kitchen, plenty of seating for our group of 10, games for families, life jackets, etc. AC works great and beds are comfortable. We hope to make this an annual family trip and be back next year.

The house was clean, modern, comfortable and roomy for 5 adults, with a convenient, well-stocked kitchen, two bathrooms with lots of towels. We loved sitting in the rocking chairs on the porch and watching the sun rise over the lake, lunch at the patio table on the deck, and jumping from the double-decker dock into the lake. A quiet, peaceful, beautiful spot. Shopping, restaurants available within a 20-30 minute drive.

Great house! Multiple families with four teenage boys. We loved the dock and swimming. The house was very nice, clean and welcoming. We will most certainly rent again!

Very comfortable home for our group of friends. We liked the layout, with the bedrooms on the upper floor and the open living area on the lower floor, which allowed early risers or night owls to not disturb those sleeping.
We enjoyed the small patio just off the back porch and ate most of our meals there, overlooking the lake.

I was unable to join my colleagues for a weekend at the lake, but they truly enjoyed the property and access to the water! No complaints. Owner was responsive and respectful when it came to last minute requests.

Overall a great property. Easy check in and check out. Be careful with fees when you check out. The owner claimed there was damage to sheets no one slept in. While it’s possible it was done unintentionally, my hunch is that it was nickel and diming.

Better than advertised
This lake house is the perfect size for a couple of families with children or a group of adults. The bedrooms are spacious with one being a bunk room. The kitchen has upgraded appliances and utensils you don’t normal find in rentals. The entire house was well maintained, very clean and comfortable. The dock has an upper deck for sunbathing and jumping. I would definitely recommend this rental.
