Great quiet family vacation
The sparks by the lake is a great gem located on a quiet cove. Perfect for the kids to swim without a lot of boat traffic. Brian and Karie really have gone above and beyond to make your stay comfortable. Nice furniture, fun touches like giant connect four, the lily pad (our personal fave of the trip) and extra lake toys, fishing poles etc. The property is quite steep, which is the only notable item if considering booking. But for our crew, it was manageable! We hope to return next summer!

Quick LOTO weekend
We visited the area to go to LOTO off-road park. Brian & Karie were very accommodating and had a place for us to park our trailer with our ATVs. Their home was spotless and as described in the listing. Beautiful access to the lake, convenient to local restaurants and attractions. Would absolutely stay here again.

Wonderful Getaway!
This was my family's first time at LOTO. We will definitely be returning! I grew up boating every weekend as a child, but at a much smaller lake. LOTO is huge, and busy. What made this home so great was it is situated on a "quiet" part of the lake. Yet you were near attractions, so it was the best of both worlds. The house, while it looks small in the pictures, is actually so well organized it was a very comfortable stay for my family of four. The home was clean, it had everything we needed and even things we forgot to pack. The property manager was very quick to respond, and we had no problems at all staying there. As nice as the home was, the property itself is where this listing shines. It is on an acre surrounded by trees, making it very private. My sons are 14 and 10, but this home would have been great even for younger children. Plenty of yard to explore. The dock was huge and comfortably held our stand-up paddleboards, the boat we rented (and had delivered to the dock), and all our gear. The home is nestled in a small cove. In the mornings we could paddleboard out to the larger lake and explore. In the evenings we could boat to eateries located on the lake only a few minutes away. And when the lake was busy, we could boat a few minutes north to a great cove perfect for swimming. If we did not feel like going anywhere, we could fish or swim right off the dock. And at night we enjoyed sitting around the firepit. I cannot say enough good things about our stay.

Nice for a family of 6
Other than the driveway, which thank goodness fo rmy husband I don't think I could have navigated without him (we have an XL Yukon with a mini trailer on it, driveway steep and not intended for a vehicle like this) the stay was great! The house itself was beautiful and comfortable, clean, wonderful stay! Even though it was a tiny bit small for 6 of us we would stay again; beds were comfortable, TV worked and was easy to figure out, can't say enough good things. Lastly, eat at the places suggested by the hosts, they were good, everywhere else we went we liked less.

Our family enjoyed staying at this place! The house was very clean and well stocked with anything you would need. Property location provides privacy, yet is so close to everything. We truly enjoyed sunbathing on the deck, the paddle boat rides, the deck swing, and so much more! Beautiful, relaxing place… Property owner’s communication was excellent! Thank you so very much! We surely be coming again!!!

Turned lemons into lemonade!
Thoroughly enjoyed our stay here even though it rained off and on everyday! The property is newly refurbished and cozy. Pretty much everything you could need to enjoy a relaxing vacation. It is on a very steep hill, which surprised me but we adjusted. Due to the rain, it made it slippery going up and down the hill from the cabin to the dock. Watch out for the wooden planks by the stairs, they are slippery when wet! We brought our own kayaks plus there was a peddle boat. Even during the rain, we went out on the water! The dock is right off the lake but in a very quiet cove. There's a fireplace, about halfway down, with chairs all set up to enjoy a fire and smores...we brought the ingredients but unfortunately the rain kept us from making the fire! We grilled several times on the provided gas grill! Kitchen is fully equipped with pretty much everything needed except condiments. There was ketchup but anything else would need to be brought. Great deck set up with lots of chairs. Dog friendly, which was awesome. We found out our little guy was a water lover and fisherman! Rented a pontoon, for a day, at Coconuts which is only 5 minutes away by car AND boat! :) several nearby restaurants on the water. Our son in law caught a fish with the provided fishing poles. Even cooked it up and ate it...not my thing but he was thrilled! 😀 Beds were not all that comfortable but its hard to accommodate everyone's likes when it comes to beds. Parking is a bit tricky. We weren't quite prepared for that so try to make sure you come during daylight so you can see where to park. Overall it was a great get away and we loved it! Thank you!!!

long weekend with my adult children, it was quiet, relaxing and serene. The cabin was clean, and the beds comfy, the dock is a lovely place to sit on the hanging swing looking out at the water,or throw out a line, and the fire pit is ideal for roasting marshmallows! Truly a fun weekend.
