Excellent rental, nice lake
The house is extremely well-appointed and the host has everything very well organized. There are notes in smart places and a binder with all the details about the home, lake, and surrounding areas. The host was very easy to reach for questions before and during our trip. All appliances worked great, the water pressure was good, and we had plenty of space in the cupboards and refrigerator/ freezer to store supplies for the week. We loved the large 4-season porch and the deck is spacious with shady areas throughout the day. The boat dock is in great shape and easily accommodated our large pontoon. There is an outlet on the yardlight that is close to the dock. The driveway was large enough for us to easily maneuver and store our boat trailer. There is a convenient table and water source for cleaning fish near the shed. Bay Lake is very clean with water clarity at least 14 feet. We enjoyed boating, swimming, tubing, and kayaking on the lake. We caught a variety of sunfish and bass of all sizes, some smaller northern pike and crappie. The lake offers many good fishing locations, even in winds with 30mph gusts. The boat traffic is higher on the weekends than during the week. The neighbors were kind and friendly. It is very convenient to boat up to Hansen's for gas and ice; the store is also walking distance and has many basic convenience items; the staff was very helpful. Garrison and Deerwood are both close and had grocery and hardware stores for the things we needed. Thank you for all of the efforts to provide a wonderful vacation location!!

Great Time at Bay Lake Cabin!
We were extremely pleased with the home and property. The owners clearly wanted their guests to have a great experience, as the cabin and outside areas were well stocked with everything we needed. They also provided excellent instructions to ensure an enjoyable stay.

About the host

Host profile image
Our family has enjoyed vacationing on Bay Lake since 1940 - 6 generations of memories. We have made many memories and many friends here in the area. Our Bay Lake friends have become our second family.

Why they chose this property

After spending many, many years at Woodland Beach Resort on Bay Lake, we could not pass up the opportunity to own a lake front home in 2014. We are looking forward to making many more Bay Lake memories with family and friends for years to come.
