Beautiful home

Lovely home on the lake, ducks and swans. Chilly fall weather, but tables and chairs ava on patio. We were a group of senior folks, so had a bit of adjustment with no shoes inside - wear slippers with treads, not just socks. Home fully accommodating with large supply of towels, etc. thank you, Joseph,.well built, lovely home!

Weekend at the lake

Beautiful site right on the lake. We were in town for a local wedding and the house was perfect for the 10 of us. The littles were excited about sleeping in the loft space. The beds were comfortable, and things were clean. Plenty of space for everyone. The older kids enjoyed an evening fire in the firepit. The neighborhood was quiet, and we walked the area streets and felt very safe. We wouldn't mind coming back when we can enjoy the lake activities.

Not great

The outdoor area needed was not well maintained, weeds throughout the property and not a very big yard for the kids to play. The water was very weedy, not good for swimming. We arrived and the owner said we could rake the weeds out if we wanted, so we spent hours raking so the kids could swim. He never came back to clean up the piles of seaweed as he promised. We were also guaranteed a pontoon rental from him when we booked, but the week before we were notified it wasn’t working. The house itself was fine. The kitchen was lacking in supplies. Had issues connecting to the WiFi initially, wrong passwords were provided in a few spots but correct one as located on the modem which was in a difficult to locate place. The lake itself is nice, you can find good swimming in the deep spots but not in front of the house. I wouldn’t recommend the rental if you plan to swim off the dock.

Nice Place

Home was clean and well stocked. Was able to launch my boat at local DNR boat launch and tie to dock for my stay. Parking is very limited, but was able to make it work by disconnecting trailer from vehicle and moving aside. Overall not a bad place to rent for a family vacation close to my home.

It was a beautiful property to stay on! The only downside was the AC broke and it was 90 degrees all weekend so the inside of the house was 80 degrees both nights so it was a bit challenging to sleep.

Simply Amazing! A++ Experience

Our family really enjoyed staying here. The property is lake front, perfect 3 ft sandy depth for kids to play all day long. Kids really enjoyed kayaking while the dads enjoyed the aluminum fishing boat. Property is clean with all the amentities needed. The owner is super friendly and is only a call away if needed. I would recommend to all families looking for that upnorth feel without the long drive. We have rented through vrbo for close to 10 years and this is the best one we have been to yet! Thank you Joe, we will be in touch again for sure!
