Grandkids annual vacation
We have been coming to holly lake for grandkids trip for many years. The Dossey house was so wonderful and the grandkids enjoyed being right on the water. They caught 4 bass from their beautiful dock.

We had an AMAZING time with Family and Friends! This home is wonderful and has great views. If you're a fisher you will be thrilled. If you enjoy sipping on coffee, tea, or whatever, you'll enjoy the back porch. I can't say enough about Dennis, he is extremely welcoming. Our experience was a 10 out of 10.

Beuatiful location
The lake, that was right out our back door, was beautiful and so peaceful. The house was cozy, comfortable and just darling. Golf course was well kept and beautiful as well. Dennis was very accommodating as was his wife, they were very informative and friendly. We had all the privacy we desired and will certainly return when time and life allows.

Beautiful View!
We enjoyed our stay at the Dossey house! Dennis was a great communicator and very friendly. The back porch and view of the lake were great! The location of the house within the Holly Lake Ranch community was also a bonus -- close to everything!
