    Our family just wrapped up a reunion at this beautiful Lake Decatur home, and it could not have been more perfect! The house was spacious, comfortable, and had everything we needed for a large group to relax, cook together, and enjoy the lake. From early morning tea on the deck to evenings spent laughing on the balcony, it was the ideal gathering place for making memories. The owners were wonderful to work with—responsive, kind, and welcoming—which made the whole experience stress-free. This was actually our second stay here, and hopefully not our last. If you’re looking for a spot to bring family or friends together, this rental is truly a gem. We can’t recommend it enough!

    This is our second time staying at this house. We had a wonderful weekend. The house was spotless when we arrived. The beds are very comfortable and the kitchen has everything you need to cook with. We also enjoyed both of the outdoor grills. We spent most of the weekend outside. The deck and kayaks were put to good use.

    Can’t say enough about Jess and Dan’s place. It was super clean and very spacious, stocked with everything you could possibly need. The view from the back is so picturesque and peaceful. We didn’t use the paddle board or kayak but the fishing was great - caught a bunch of catfish and bluegill off the dock. We also used the huge gas grill one night with no problem. Jess and Dan were perfect hosts. They checked in on us daily via text and were quick to respond to questions. Don’t hesitate - I highly recommend.

    This place is exceptional! The owners are very accessible, thoughtful and helpful. Cooking Thanksgiving dinner was a pleasure in their kitchen! Eating together at the beautiful dining room table was perfect. Plenty of games, puzzles, books and televisions provide fun entertainment and relaxation. We hope to return!

    Super spacious & very clean lake front home was the perfect relaxing oasis for our group of ladies. We had everything we needed to cook in the kitchen & there was something for everyone to enjoy the perfect weather outdoors! We loved the three separate decks & the docks for jumping into the lake & the use of the stand up paddle board and kayak! The home itself is way more spacious than the pictures show & the layout is great! We had everything we needed! The hosts were very responsive both before & during our trip with questions that we had. The app guide was very easy to use & had great information. We are definitely staying here again!

    We had an amazing time at this VRBO on Lake Shore Decatur for our family reunion! The house was perfect for our big family, with plenty of room for everyone to relax and enjoy the stunning lake views from the balcony. The communication with our host was exceptional—they went above and beyond when a minor issue arose, resolving it quickly and making sure we had everything we needed for a fantastic stay. We couldn’t have asked for a better experience, and we will definitely be coming back! Highly recommend!

    We had a great time staying at this beautiful lake house. The property had two docks and wonderful amenities. We never really used the game room (darts, big connect 4, etc.) because we had young children and we spent most of our time outdoors. We took the kayak and paddleboard out and our kids had their first fishing experience, even catching a little fish for the first time ever. Everything was really well organized and labeled and the owners were really responsive. The house was one of the most stocked that I had ever been at with swimming towels and lots of spices and cookware/utensils in the kitchen. Only minor downside was there really wasn't an easy way to get outside to a grassy area for our dog without going up/down lots of stairs but we managed. Overall, we had a fantastic experience and would definitely come back.

    Beautiful and well-kept lake property with very friendly, helpful owners. Perfect location if you’re looking for a relaxing, low-key lake environment to share with friends and family. Close to stores, restaurants, and regional attractions. Interior is large but intimate, so people can have their own space without feeling isolated. Nice place to vacation for a few days!

    Beautiful accommodation on the lakefront. Good for the young in body. There were too many steps for some of the guests. The kitchen was well stocked with the most complete utensils few households have. The interior was tastefully chosen and extremely comfortable for most age levels.
