***LAKE LEVEL UPDATE ***– Amazing Waterfront Views!

Exciting news! As of the last week of April 2026, the lake has fully risen and waterfront access is back at Streamside Retreat! For the first time in several years, we have officially reopened the dock so guests can once again enjoy direct access to the water for kayaking, fishing, relaxing, and soaking in the beautiful lake views.

As the lake has recently returned to full level, the water continues clearing more each week and the dock is now fully accessible for fishing, kayaking and relaxing by the water.

We are thrilled to welcome guests back to enjoy the LAKE and can’t wait for you to enjoy mornings by the water, sunset kayaking, fishing from the dock, and evenings in the hot tub overlooking the lake.

Such a wonderful property. I definitely would love to return sometime!

It was awesome.

One of the coolest homes I have stayed at. So many activities and different areas to hang out, plus the river in the backyard. I need to book this place again without any plans just to hang out at the house!
10 / 10Outstanding·Mar 2024
Property is on the river and has many modern amenities. 3-4 great gathering areas in great room, kitchen, and outside. Hot tub is in like new condition and well maintained. While the house is older, the remodel and updating have been very well done so it feels and looks like the description. Water is low because of the dam work up river, but will be even more enjoyable once that work is complete and the river is flowing normal. Definitely recommend and we would definitely consider returning for a longer stay.
