The lake house was great and had everything we needed. We stayed in the winter to go see the falls. I walked down to the Lake one morning and it was so beautiful and serene.

Great Family Getaway!

Cpt. Bill's Lake House is amazing. The house is spacious, immaculate and has everything you would need. The pool makes it someplace you never even want to leave. We stayed here as a family before dropping my son off at college nearby and had such a nice time we for sure will return.

Restful. Restorative. Highly Recommend!

What a delightfully arranged 2 story home away from home! 2 bedroom, 2 bath suites with lovely surroundings. Restful and restorative because everything one could want is available. The Captain and his wife are thoughtful hosts. Highly recommend! Nearby Cataract Falls are a "don't miss" with its covered bridge and easy hiking trails.

Amazing stay

My husband and I hosted our baby shower on the property (which is lovely) and it was better than we could have ever hoped! All of our friends and family were able to come out and enjoy the pool. Bill and Becky were awesome, they made us feel super comfortable and were very accommodating when we had to add extra people to our reservation. Prior to the shower we stayed the weekend to enjoy the lake and relax which was also 10/10. We’ll definitely be back!

Such a wonderful stay

We needed a place to stay that was in close proximity to property that we own in the area and the lake house was the perfect location. The pictures don’t do the house justice. It is absolutely gorgeous and you can tell that Capt. Bill and Becky take great pride in their home because the details are perfect. We had a peaceful time here and really enjoyed our morning coffee on the deck listening to the wildlife and our sunset walks to the lake. Would definitely stay here again.
