    Perfect relaxing weekend getaway
    Great little hidden gem! The dock in the morning with coffee was my favorite! It is literally steps away from the restaurant which was wonderful too a little loud in the morning when they were opening but not bad. It was a great vacation.

    Local vacation getaway hit all the marks!
    We were looking for a place on a lake to escape the heat and try out our paddle boards. This place wound up being the perfect spot! On a "no wake" lake with direct access to the water. Lots of privacy! We loved watching the dragonflies and bats!

    The Lake House
    This was our first time to spend the weekend on Anderson Island. We have purchased land there and want to see what it’s like living on an island! We had the best weekend and access to the lake and being able to walk next door to the restaurant was cool! We live in an apartment so it was so nice to have outdoor space, especially for our Morkies, Mork and Mindy. Everyday at 6:30 am a deer would come into the yard! Added bonus! Booking for another weekend in September! ❤️ Thank you to the Homeowner for sharing your home.
