    We thoroughly enjoyed our stay! My family and I had a fantastic time at Waterfront Lay Lake Retreat. The home is beautiful and spacious and allowed our group of seven plenty of room to ourselves and easily could have comfortably accommodated more guests. The setting is amazing! We enjoyed watching sunrises in the morning over the lake, getting in our steps on the grounds during the day and making s'mores in the fire pit at night. The home was equipped with everything we needed to prepare family meals. There were also good dining options nearby. We had a bit of rain while there, but were still able to enjoy sitting outside in the enclosed section of the huge deck. Dawn and Randy were quick to respond when we had questions, and the property was very clean. I highly recommend their lovely vacation home!

    Beautiful home!We loved it there. The listing was accurate, very private location with a beautiful view. The kitchen was well stocked, the house was spotless, beds were comfortable and there was plenty of parking for our group. We would stay again. Thank you for sharing your home with us for the week!

    We had a fantastic time. The place itself is beautiful and very well kept up and maintained, including the fire pit area which was perfect during our stay. But the star of the show is the water and the lot. It's secluded and peaceful, yet it's super easy access to the main water and several marinas. I would highly recommend this place to anyone looking for a great place to relax and get away.

    Great place and very clean! Randy was very communicative and helpful. There's a boat launch 1 minute away and several spots to get lunch/dinner a quick boat ride away. Really had a great time

    It was perfect!!!! My husband and I decided to take our kids and grandkids on a little trip. It was 8 adults and 3 kids. Perfect amount of space. We brought our pontoon that fit perfect under the boat dock. You can see the boat landing from the deck. So nice and quiet. We thoroughly enjoyed it, and hope to go back again!

    We had 9 people staying at the house. There was plenty of room, the accommodations were fantastic, property was super clean, and the amenities were as stated in the listing. It was really nice being able to enter at the main floor as well as at the basement level. There were plenty of rooms to split up among the different groups in the family. Thank you so much!

    We loved staying here. The home was big enough for our party of 12 ranging from ages 7 to age 85. The property was serene, the kids loved the kayaks, and my parents loved eating out on the porch watching the water. Thank you for such a lovely stay!
