Fantastic Lakehouse
The Lakehouse was truly a great place to stay! We had a group of 12, yet everyone had plenty of room and things to do. We were pleasantly surprised by all that the hosts provided. They were wonderful to work with and communicate with.

Over the Top!!!!
If you are looking at this property snag it right away! We were a group of 8 guys on a golf trip. We rent a house every year rather than staying in hotels. This home was far and away the nicest home we have seen. It's a beautiful place that has everything, and I mean everything you will need for your stay. Jackie is a very accommodating host and happily did some extra things to ensure we had what we needed. The neighborhood was great as well. This is a repeater for us and we will definitely rent the home again for our next trip.

Beautiful Property!
This was a wonderful getaway for our family! The house is beautiful, clean, and offered many amenities and small touches to make our stay comfortable and relaxing! We brought our boat and played on the water during the day and enjoyed time with family around the fire or in the house during the evenings. We would definitely stay here again!

Incredible vacation
The listing does not do this place justice. The home is beautiful and fully stocked. The host is wonderful and responsive. We rented a pontoon boat and jetskis nearby. When not on those, our kids were in the lake near the dock where they could touch (perfect for 3-7 year olds). We can't wait to come back next summer!

Family vacation
We just spent a week at this property and had a great time. We had 5 kids from 5-15 and 5 adults. The house is amazing and had everything we needed and the view is absolutely beautiful. There were plenty of activities for the kids and several games and toys. Our host Jackie is absolutely wonderful and made sure we had everything we needed. I definitely would stay again. Sandy

Family lake getaway
We had a fantastic stay at the lake house. It reminded us of spending time at the family lake house as a kid. We were able to unwind and relax during our stay. Lake Johnson is the perfect size lake with something for everyone to enjoy.

Exceeds Expectations
This property has it ALL. An amazing space with time, thought and care built into every area. Inside is a beautiful home full of high end finishes, ample space, and welcoming accommodations. But our time was primarily spent on the incredible patio space with multiple areas to relax, disconnect and enjoy unforgettable views. What more can you ask for
