Best VRBO Lake House Ever!
This home had more family gathering space and amenities than any lake home we have rented (20 or more). Spacious and well-equipped kitchen with 12-person dining room table. There is also great outdoor seating for a large group. We were only 6 so we didn't utilize the bunk room space in the lower level. This is a great home for our size group or a larger group with all of the sleeping arrangements. Tons of games to play and water equipment (kayaks, lily pad, floats and life jackets) so no need to bring anything. Two dock options for play and fishing with great, clear deep water. The large three-car garage was fabulous for loading up in the rain this morning!

Fabulous family time!
This is our second year staying at Lakeview Retreat and we hope to have many more annual family lake vacations here. It is perfect for our three generations with a variety of indoor and outdoor spaces to suit everyone. The property is beautiful and very well maintained. We boat, fish and swim off the dock, spend lots of time on the deck, take walks and bike rides in the neighborhood, play board games at night, and have lively family dinners at the ample covered picnic table on the deck. We are so grateful for the lasting memories created here. Charlene is a wonderful hostess. You should definitely give this property a try - you'll be glad you did!

Perfect Getaway
We rented the house as a surprise to celebrate my husband's 60th birthday. We had 2 families with teens and young adults and there was plenty of room for everyone. The house is better than advertised and Charlene's extra effort and personal touches made the weekend so memorable. We will definitely be returning!

Spacious and comfortable
So many beds! If you need a place for a large family/multi-family trip this house is for you. If you rent the extra bunk room in the basement everyone can have a choice of a bed and 3 different tv seating areas throughout the house. Just as many seating choices outside with all the decks and docks. Plenty of room in the kitchen and dining area too. The house was clean and well decorated. Convenient washer/dryer and 3 car garage. It was easy to feel at home during our stay at the lake!

Beautiful Lakehouse!
My family and I traveled to Kansas for my Grandson's high school and college graduations. We stayed at Charlene's beautiful lake house! We loved all the personal touches! She had a welcome scroll with all the last names of the families that were with us. There was also a map of the US with little strips of paper with the towns of our state of where we were coming from. The coffee and smores bars were wonderful! It has everything you need! Charlene was super easy to communicate with and very attentive to our needs. I could go on and on but book this lake house for yourselves and see for yourselves how wonderful it is! Thank you Charlene for making our trip so amazing!
