Lake View & Space to Roam/Row/Relax

A hidden gem! Slice of heaven! This o simply a fantastic property! John is a super friendly guy! I thoughly enjoyed my time there. I highly recommend this spot. It’s a quick 5 miles from downtown Hardy.

The weekend get away for us was AMAZING! Between Kayaking, the waterfall, the lake, and the dock you can dive off of, it was a blast! Very quiet and peaceful. John was wonderful with everything. Allowing us to use his bathroom to shower and whatnot. Very nice and friendly! And we loved his doggo! Spring river is only 5 minutes down the road. WE WILL ABSOLUTELY 100% BE GOING BACK. I DEFINITELY RECOMMEND THIS PLACE FOR A QUICK VACATION GETAWAY! You can't beat the price and the location and host was wonderful. Made some wonderful memories this past weekend.

John was an amazing host. He provided firewood, and kept me company for a while. The property is breathtaking. My only wish was to have been able to park farther away from the house for my own privacy, but I only realized this in retrospect and didn't actually ask John if there was somewhere else I could park. Most campers will have a tent, and this place is perfect for that situation. There's a platform on the lake itself that's big enough to set up a tent on. It's about 10 feet high and has a ramp connecting it to the land. Underneath that platform there are kayaks. That area is out of sight from the house, but I didn't have a tent on this particular trip.

Perfect. Something for kids and adults. Playground, dock, 80 acre lake, fishing, walking, beach, etc. Water and electricity. Was concerned about parking close to hosts house but backed in and never noticed it again plus made a new friend as the host was great. This is a well kept secret. Beautiful lake and easy access.

We had such a good time! We tent camped next to the fire pit. Aside from the rain we got for half of our trip, we had a great time. We spent time on the dock playing cards, had fires, and John even showed us the way to a wonderful waterfall. Overall we had a great stay.

This is a GREAT place!!! Perfect lake and perfect place to relax. The kayaks were a great touch- very fun to kayak over to the beach nearby and hangout. Water was the perfect temp too! John was a great and very helpful host. 11/10 would stay again!!

We were looking for a good spot to begin our tent camping journey and this was perfect! We ended up setting up our tent on the top level of the dock, which was downhill from where we parked, but good exercise. John gave us some firewood for free, offered for us to use the restroom, allowed us to put our freezer packs in his deep freeze to save on buying ice as often, had a spigot to use for cleaning dishes, and had two kayaks available for us to use (one is a smaller kids’ size without a backrest, as seen in photos). The lake was very peaceful and not too active for most of our four-day stay. There was some road noise from the highway nearby, but not too loud, and also some kind of party happening a few houses down, but seemed out of the norm. At one point, John’s kids came down and enjoyed the dock and perfect water, but overall he was great about giving us our space/privacy! He walked us around his 10 acres and has big plans for this awesome space. Definitely a varying amount of campsites available for tenting, some more private than others. Looking forward to visiting again soon!

Great place to visit! Lots to see and do in the area and the campsite and view were nice. John was a great and friendly host. Gave us our space while also checking in to make sure we had everything we needed.

So much fun! A really great value, the host and his kids were super nice and accommodating!
