About Us

We are Gary and Karen Burks. Gary has recently semi-retired to a low stress job in the auto parts industry. Karen has been a loan officer in banking for 20 years. Our 20 year old son is in the Marines and our 16 year old daughter is a sophomore in high school. We love to take weekend getaways and thought this would be a great way to do that. We liked the idea of staying in a local home in an establised area where we could get a better "feel" for the area and what is has to offer. We feel that we have a great location. We are only 5 minutes from the lake but far enough away to be quiet and serene. We are non-drinkers and non-smokers but we are not boring!! We love to laugh and have fun too! We are a Christian family that loves the Lord and we hope you will sense the love and peace of Christ within the walls of our home.
