Perfect family lake vacation!
If you're looking for a wonderful lake property for a family vacation, look no further. The chalet was clean, stocked and perfect for my family with three kids. We spent hours fishing (pike, bass and tons of pan fish right off the dock) and using the pontoon boat, swimming in the lake and afternoons on the sand bar. The kids enjoyed playing all the games as well. Having access to the pool and pickleball/playground was a bonus. The hot tub was great to relax in after a long day of activities. Dorene and John are phenomenal hosts and made sure everything was perfect for us. We even had a ready made campfire set up for us! Every year we take a different vacation to a lake house and everyone thought this was by far the best! We'll be back here for sure! Thank you John and Dorene!

Loved it!
The house was wonderful and clean when arrived. Neighborhood was quiet and lake was not super busy for the week so taking the kids out on the boat was nice and calm. Fishing was great off the dock! Caught bass, bulegil and sun fish. Beach front was a bit weedy and rocky but water was clear. Pool was a nice bonus, but we only went down once due to rainy weather during our trip. With the rainy weather, we spent lots of time in the hot tub! Only bummer for us was that the kayaks and life jackets were full of spiders and didn't appear to have been used in quite a while. We will definitely be back to one of these rental properties!

Generously stocked with necessities like paper products (love not having to run out for adequate quantity for our stay). Oct visit during fall colors provided beautiful backdrop everywhere we looked. Kayaked, fished off dock, hot tub soaks, ping pong tournaments, campfires and comfy beds made for a rejuvenating 3 night stay. Host very timely in responses. Would definitely stay again!

We had a wonderful stay at Sunset Beach! The kids loved the beach and kayaks and the adults loved the hot tub! The pool was great too. We had campfires and watched beautiful sunsets. Cell phone service is not good in the area but the wifi worked great. The kids loved having the upstairs room as their space. We would stay here again!
