Self check-in

Check yourself in with the keypad.
Welcome to Sandy’s Lake Escape—where the view is endless, the pace is slow, and each day begins and ends with a peace that stays with you long after you leave. This isn’t a resort or a cookie-cutter rental—it’s a warm, one-of-a-kind home with open water views from nearly every room.

Designed for guests who crave true lake life, the home features a private backyard with panoramic views, gentle breezes off the water, and the kind of quiet that makes you wonder why you didn’t do this sooner.

The space
This home is ideal for:
✔️ Multigenerational gatherings
✔️ Grandparents w/adult children & grandkids
✔️ Couples retreats or weekends with friends

With 13 picture windows framing the water, there’s no shortage of calming views and cozy corners to read, nap, or just breathe. Whether you're grilling outside, sharing stories around the fire pit, or watching the kids play in the yard—everything feels just a little easier here.

Other things to note
> Gravel driveway is large enough for boat parking, however is not covered.
> Swim shoes recommended when in the lake. Waders recommended for fishing (shallow water)
> My quiet country neighborhood is a mixture of site built homes and modular homes
> Please watch for pot-holes as you enter the sub-division, as the roads are maintained by the county (not the city)
