Great Week at Backus Bliss

Our stay at this beautiful lake home was absolutely wonderful. The house was in close proximity to relatives who live on a nearby lake. The property is very nice, with views of Johnson Lake, which is very pretty. The house itself is well-equipped with everything we needed for a comfortable and enjoyable stay. The kitchen had all the necessary appliances and utensils, making meal prep a breeze. There is spacious living area, which is perfect for family gatherings and game nights. The bedrooms were cozy and the beds very comfortable, ensuring we had restful nights. The outdoor space is the highlight of this property. The patio overlooking the lake is a great spot. We also made good use of the provided kayaks on the calm, clear water. The private dock was an added bonus for fishing and swimming. The owners have clearly put a lot of thought into making this a welcoming and well-maintained home. Communication was prompt and helpful, and they provided great recommendations for local attractions and dining. Overall, this lake home exceeded our expectations and provided a perfect setting for a memorable vacation. We can't wait to return!
