Paddles Up

Paddles up was a great place for our family vacation. The home is spacious and has wonderful views of the lake. A few comments about current conditions, and need to say that owner has absolutely no control over this!! The lake level is very low, according to the locals. As a result, getting down to the water is extremely treacherous. If you are just going to the dock, be aware that the decline is steep. But if you are going to the water, as we did because we rented a boat, you must navigate a set of rock “steps” that are less than secure. One must be VERY careful on these steps! We rented a pontoon boat, and needed to “beach” it each night. Again, owner has NO control, but renters should be aware.The house itself was well equipped, with everything that a family of varying ages would need. There were a few mechanical issues that rental office was made aware of, but nothing that detracted from the home. All in all, great home!

Spacious house with a great kitchen and large rooms that worked well for the family, the 2nd refrig in the basement was a bonus. The water level was 5 ft below full pond so docking and getting on/off the tritoon was challenging, but we figured it out. There is a leg burner uphill walk from the dock to the house, so be prepared. The outside of the house could have used a little dusting to remove the cobwebs, etc. that accumulated throughout the summer, and the back deck furniture was a bit of a disappointment - plastic chairs pieced together around the table. The dock was enjoyable for fishing and swimming, but due to the water level we didn't allow anyone to jump from the dock. While we enjoyed the dock, the dock furniture was also a bit disappointing - a picnic table, the chairs were hard and could have used some cushions. This location is tucked away in a cove so there wasn't a lot of boat traffic when we were there, but that could have been a result of the water level, as there are plenty of boats on the boat slip for the condos across from the dock. Overall, we had a great time and made wonderful memories at Paddles Up.

We enjoyed our stay at this home. It accommodates our family well! The kitchen is well stocked and had everything we needed. The deck furniture off the house is pretty worn and not very inviting to sit out there. The deck is awesome and we hung out there mostly!

Take a step ladder or stole to use at dock if you rented a boat to get on and off. The water is down 8 feet and no water access from dock. Don’t drop motor too soon we damaged ours due to low water. The house was nice could stand to be dusted weekly in addition to mop the floor. The beds were middle range for comfort. We went to island to enjoy the water due to low levels.we made the best of situation but rental should have a floating dock due to low water for renters to use

The place was amazing and spacious and was nice and open for all to be together. The deck and grill were amazing. It rained the whole time but we did have a chance to enjoy the dock for an afternoon and run into the water. I also loved that they allow dogs which was a bonus for allowing them to join in the family trip. I would definitely recommend and rent this place again.
