Enjoy a slower pace, aka "Lake Life" at our Waldron Lake Retreat, our house is directly on the lake (FYI - no wake lake except between 10am - 5pm). Not only will you have our renovated home with great amenities, but also you'll be able to jump into our lake off our private pier or with our provided kayaks (pictures coming soon & please use the provided adult life jackets). Waldron Lake is also great fishing (bring your own fishing supplies). It's also connected to three other lakes (no wake lakes), but enjoy cruising on different lakes without getting out of your kayak or boat (bring your own boat and dock it to our pier. There are miles of river and lakes that you can explore by entering right off our dock. Enjoy peaceful days fishing, kayaking, boating, swimming, etc.

Our family had an amazing time at this lake house! We couldn't have asked for a better place to stay at! The house manager Todd was amazing and worked with us all the way through!
