Property was spotless with many amenities. Great Lake house and owner was very accommodating. Renters should be aware that there are many stairs. That was the only downside, otherwise perfect

Our group had 9 people- one teen and the rest adults. We all had the best time. If you are on the fence about booking, just do it. You will be so happy you did. Gerald was a absolute top notch host. Excellent communication! We got stuck on the lake in our pontoon boat (human error) and Gerald and Cindy came to our rescue:) We rented our boat from Big Worm. Big Worm delivered the boat to our dock. The lake house has everything you will need to make your stay wonderful. The beds were comfortable. The kitchen was well stocked. There are numerous kayaks and a paddle board. Our entire group of 9 were on the lake either in a kayak, on a paddle board or on a paddle boat. There is something for everyone. You will love coffee in the morning on the deck or grab a chair and sit on the dock. So peaceful. Listen to the birds and enjoy some tranquility. You must drive an hour to Garden of the Gods. You will feel like you are in Utah or Colorado. Amazing. We are already planning for next year.

Communication with host was great. Always check to see if need anything. If you have mobility issues beware there are a lot of stairs fortunately we didn't have any issues. Having a dock to bring our pontoon to was a bonus. House was very clean and stocked with k-cups little boxes of cearel and orher treats. We were there when Gorville was having some hot temperatures just to let know the AC works great. Thanks for great stay made lots of memories. 😊

This beautiful chalet located in a quiet cove on the lake was a perfect place for our annual sister trip. This place is beautifully decorated with many great amenities. The owner added some personal touches which made us feel right at home. There were so many activities such as hiking, wineries, kayaking, swimming and fishing to keep us busy during our stay. Gerald was a wonderful host and made sure we were enjoying ourselves so we will definitely stay again.

An absolute gem for staying in the Shawnee National Forest. The owner has the property and inclusions set up for you to not feel like you are staying at a rental, but instead just relaxing at a lake house with the most incredible views for your time there. You are perfectly located to access most of the hiking trails and fun adventures in the Shawnee (ziplining is also a must!). Trails like Garden of the Gods or Inspiration Point are only an hour away either direction from the rental! And the local Fern Clyffe trails are also worth the adventure. Lake and dock access, along with the water amenities are incredible for traveling with your family to balance being outdoor and relaxing on the lake in the cove area as well. If you are looking for a rental on the lake in this area this a definite must.
