"Architect's Dream"

Beautiful mountain setting on local lake property! Beautiful lake views from every bedroom!! Amazing den features stone fireplace extending two floors high with gas logs that can be used during the cool months. Views of the lake can be enjoyed from many relaxing spots on this property. There is a upper deck off of the sunroom, a lower deck and patio for grilling out, a firepit for evening relaxation, hammock chairs on the front porch of the house and a hammock in the gazebo overlooking the lake views. For your evening relaxation there is a hot tub on the stone patio overlooking the lake as well. My favorite area which includes both a sitting area and lounge chairs is located on the boat dock facing towards a beautiful long range view of the lake. This property combines the feel of both a mountain house and lake house combined into one! This unique property was constructed in 1974 and includes very unique features of its time! Tastefully decorated with high end Restoration Hardware sitting areas throughout! This was one of the original homes on this area of the lake! The house is approximately 4,000 square feet and is three stories. The lake house is set up as four bedrooms and includes 3 baths. The house has 2 refrigerators in the main kitchen and includes one a the boat house for convenience while spending time on the water. There is a gas grill at the house that can be used by our guests while grilling out. The open ceilings and custom wood features make this the perfect vacation home. The house is strategically placed on the property to overlook the beautiful views of the lake from both the house and boat dock. The water off the end of the dock is deep and great for swimming. This area of the lake is very private and is great for boating, fishing, kayaking and paddle boarding. Two kayaks and two paddle boards are available for my guests while staying at the house. With a backyard of limitless lake life this is the perfect getaway to relax and enjoy the beauties of Lake Hyco.

Great Lake House
Our family just spent our second vacation at this house. We had a great week! We love that we are able to bring our boat and use the lift. We love the paddle boards and kayaks as well as the table on the dock for playing games. The house has lots of great spaces for reading a book or playing games but also has plenty of space to get away from each other.

Great host. Cute House. Fun time.
Michael is improving property so some things were under construction. It is a cute house that is well decorated/modernized. Be aware of the spiral staircase as that could be an issue for certain guests. Had a nice relaxing time with kayaks,etc at the lake. Thanks Michael.

Beautiful lake views in this wonderful home
This is the third year our family has stayed in this home. We used to visit a different lake every year but can't find anywhere better than his home on Hyco. We spend a lot of our time at the dock reading and playing games. There is enough covered area for all of us to get out of the sun but enough sunny space if we want to sit in the sun. We cook and eat all our meals in the house and there are several different areas for games or reading. There's something new every year. This year it was a large seating area with tables on the dock. The owner is always great to work with and easy to reach in case we need anything. I would definitely recommend this house to families looking to make great vacation memories!

Great Winter Holiday
We actually stayed at this property for a family get together in December and loved it. The owner is great to work with, attentive, and accommodating. One word of warning, the house has multiple levels and many steps down to the lake. If you're worried about young children or elderly folks you may want to think this through. Also, one suggestion to improve the property. I'm sure during the spring, fall, and summer the downstairs/basement area stays comfortable but during the winter months that area really needs some supplemental heat. Very chilly. Overall though this is a great vacation house. Well stocked kitchen, plenty of room to relax, plenty of parking, the lake, hot tub and fire pit areas are awesome. We hope to be back soon.

Stunning Lake House
We had very high expectations for this rental property and it definitely exceeded all our expectations. This home is absolutely gorgeous. Everything is not all stainless steel and perfectly new but the parts of the house that are older are what make it gorgeous and give it so much charm, in my opinion. The upstairs bath was such a wonderfully, fun, surprise!! I love that the owner new exactly which parts of the house to keep and which parts to update. I think if the Brady Bunch had had a lake house this would have been it. While reading a novel during our stay, I came across a quote that perfectly sums up how we felt at this house. The quote went something like this - it is impossible to walk into this house and feel like anyone except the luckiest person alive. And the location and additional amenities (hot tub, decks, hammock, fire pit and boat house) were all incredible as well. I truly cannot say enough positive things about this rental. Michael, the owner, was always available to answer any questions we had and made us feel very welcome. We definitely hope to return for a much longer stay with more of our family someday soon and would recommend this vacation property to anyone looking for a spacious home in a gorgeous location.

Great Hyco Get Away
Great Property with all you need to enjoy the beautiful Hyco lake. Water toys (paddle boards (3) tubes (5) for relaxing in water, great boat house for sitting lake side with fridge and couch. House is in great shape and kitchen has all you need to cook dinners with propane grill on porch. Hot Tub was well maintained and easy to use. One small thing to be prepared for if you have elderly guest, the path to the lake/boat house has many steps (~70)

Absolutely wonderful experience!
Our group had a fantastic time at this property. Michael was incredibly responsive and helpful with all questions. Check-in instructions were crystal clear and accessing the house was very simple. This property is fantastic. The house is beautifully decorated and the property is beautifully landscaped. We loved the welcoming touch of the gift basket and the teenagers in the group were thrilled about the snacks included in the welcome gift. The house was spotless. We loved having two refrigerators to store everything for our group of six. The outdoor spaces were fantastic. We loved the ground level outdoor seating area with a great view of the lake. We had planned to use the fire pit but the temps were just too hot. We did enjoy the hot tub on a couple of occasions and it was super-clean and relaxing. Others have mentioned the steps down to the boat house and the spiral staircase as items to note for those with mobility issues. I have some mobility challenges, but was able to navigate everything nicely with the use of hiking poles for stability on the outside steps. The boathouse is a great place to hangout with comfy furniture in a shaded space. We made lots of use of the kayaks and paddle boards. We also rented a boat from Hyco Lake Boat Rentals and recommend them heartily. Big thanks to Michael for an idyllic stay at his beautiful home!

Family holiday win!
Our family of six had a wonderful stay. The property is, as it is presented online, simply beautiful. The view, the property, the owner, everything was just as you'd hope it would be. This was our first time renting a home and we weren't sure what to expect. The owner was very responsive and patient with these newbies. He answered all our questions even the minor details about how to use the television remote control. He thought of every detail for our stay, from providing a supply of paper products and hand soap, game boards, spare batteries and washing detergent to a lit holiday tree, wood for the fire pit and piped-in music from the home intercom system. The welcome basket was another special touch that only someone who cared would provide, The most unfortunate part of our trip was that we had to leave. Thank you for making our Christmas holiday a very special one we will always remember.

Exceeded all our expectations!
I can’t say enough nice things about the property owner and the beautiful house! We spent a long weekend there and everything was perfect for our group of 10. The house was stocked with a full kitchen, plenty of linens and a great dock with kayaks and paddleboards. There is plenty of space to spread out and all of the rooms are very spacious. They seriously thought of everything down to the awesome handsoap at every sink! There are a lot of stairs down to the water as well as a spiral staircase so I wouldn’t recommend it for anyone with mobility issues, but other than that, the place is perfect!

Great summer get away
Michael's house was better in person than in the pictures. The week was a great time away. The house is in quieter area of lake but not so far that you can't get to destinations via water or land. Michael was attentive at a host looking to resolve even the smallest of inconveniences to the best of his ability. His prep call covered everything you need to know about the house and the area. If you are looking for a quiet place on the lake with all the comforts of home, this is the place to go.

Top notch in every respect
Property: Amazing! It is actually better than the listing. The house is great and the location is incredible! Comfortable beds, cold A/C, great kitchen, two refrigerators, and everything that you could want. I would not recommend this property for anyone with mobility issues, as there is a spiral staircase and the walkway to the boat house gave us our exercise for the week. But don't get me wrong... it's amazing. Manager: Michael is better than anyone would ever expect. He was prompt with responses before our visit and he called me on the day of arrival to go over the property details. During our stay, he was amazing. He checked in on us a couple times and was a huge help when a paving crew showed up to work on the road. I would stay here again in a heartbeat. In fact, we're already planning for next year! Thank you Michael!!
