Hale...yes!


The property has everything one needs for a summer getaway. The included pontoon boat made the trip! We loved the large firepit and kayaks as well. We highly recommend this property for both adults and kids.

Great Family Vacation


This was our first time staying at Sam\'s property and we were very impressed with the cleanliness of this home. Sam was very helpful in showing us around on his property and when we had a issue with the Pontoon boat he dispatched a mechanic to fix it right away. Every member of our extended family enjoyed the property and we will definitely consider coming back.

Family vacation


Had a great family vacation in Hale. It’s a bit secluded and just what we needed. The amenities really made our vacation. We used the pontoon boat everyday, as well as the kayaks. We even caught three big like in the lake. Thank you Sam for your hospitality when we arrived.

Fantastic week


Our family had a wonderful week at Sam\'s house. We had 16 of us and all had a great time. The fishing was really good as we caught over a hundred Bass , several northern pike and the kids caught lots of bluegill and crappie. The Pontoon and kayaks stayed in use all week. We will definitely consider coming back here again next year

Great Family Vacation Spot


This property was everything the owner said it would be. The grandchildren enjoyed time spent together in the bunk room. The decks were excellent places to relax and enjoy the company of each other. The rooms were immaculate, and the garage with the extra refrigerator was a great place to store extra items. The fire pit provided plenty of room for everyone to sit and talk in the evening. The pontoon served for taking the kids swimming. The kitchen is very nice, and all supplies were provided with plenty of extra items Everyone enjoyed fishing from the dock. I would highly recommend this home for the family vacation.

Fabulous


This property was perfect for our family gathering. Plenty of things to do right at the house for both kids and adults. Everyone particularly loved the floating mat!
