What a gem! My family and I stayed here over Labor Day weekend, and it was such a treat. I’m a runner, and it was great to be able to use the nearby trail to get my runs in on quiet side roads; the grandparents enjoyed taking out the kayaks; fishing was super easy right off the dock, as well as helpful stairs for getting right into the water. We all enjoyed swimming out to the nearby floating dock and playing the popular and plentiful board games in the cozy living room at night.A highlight for everyone was the hot tub! Soaking in the tub overlooking the beautiful lake was so easy and relaxing. The yard was also spacious enough for corn hole and other lawn games with plenty of seats for spectators and a few lounge chairs for those who enjoy laying out in the sun. The outdoor speakers were amazing and set the mood for high-energy games during the day and relaxing around the outdoor fire pit at night.We couldn’t ask for a more gracious, communicative, and friendly host! The house was well stocked with the basics and we were very appreciative of all the outdoor seating and grill for easy grill nights with the fam. An extra bonus was the chocolates so thoughtfully placed on everyone’s pillows on our arrival! Thank you, Jamie!

Location, Location, Location!!! This family home is located at the end of a very quiet street with plenty of parking for multiple cars and boat trailers. The views of the lake from the wall of windows is breathtaking! We brought multiple motorized watercraft but the hosts provide boats for paddlers. Swim raft, hammock and solo stove (with wood) were an added plus; there is even a hot tub which we did not have the time to enjoy. Great 2 mile walking loop for exercise. Jamie was very detailed in his communication and in-house instructions were clear. Hope to return to Acorn Acres!

This location is a fantastic spot on the lake. The house is well laid out, has fantastic amenities and the nice little touches make you feel like you are home away from home. Jamie is a great host, very responsive and is a quick phone call away if needed. Just what our family needed.

Wonderful Lake House!

House sits right on the water with excellent views from the porch and main living area. The house was fully stocked with all the essentials as well as many toys (hot rub, canoe, kayak, fire pit, etc.) The owner was very responsive and really knows how to manage rental properties. We fully recommend this VRBO property and will likely come back next year.

This is our 2nd stay at this property, and we will be going back! The host is very accommodating and responds quickly. This home has absolutely everything you will need for a comfortable and wonderful vacation stay, from the amenities to the location - you can't go wrong. This property is in great condition and it is very obvious that the Host takes great care of the property. It is also impressive that he took the time to prepare a "House Book" that outlines in detail everything that you need to know about the home and what it has to offer and where to find it and how to use it, local attractions, activities and mileage. He has thought of it all!

This cottage is outstanding, especially for a family. The hot tub, beach, dock, kayaks, canoe and swim raft are steps away from the house- which is in a quiet and secluded neighborhood. The 2.3 mile walking trail is perfect for kids and dogs. We keep coming back and it gets better every time!

Wonderful Property!

This property had everything we could possibly need for a family vacation! From the size (3 bdrms plus the 2 sets of bunks in the finished basement, the interior living space, large kitchen area with everything you could need provided), to the exterior with the dinghy, kayaks and canoe, corn hole, hottub, covered deck, chairs and lounges, hammock - wow! I"ve stayed at other lake front properties, and this one is by far the best fit for our family. We had lake friends visit for the day and there was plenty of room to park their pontoon and jet ski at the dock, with another jet ski at the mooring. The swim dock with the seat-backs and pop-up table were a nice surprise! The home was super clean and they provide linens - one less thing to pack =) Mini splits a/c and fans in every room. Any kitchen appliance you could need - another nice surprise because i usually bring all that with me. Plenty of parking! We had 8 vehicles one day. And the communication with this owner was outstanding! Clear, concise instructions and immediate responses. Just wonderful! Highly recommend.
