Perfect getaway
Rented this place for a girls weekend and it was great! Beds are comfy and had fully stocked kitchen where we made dinner together. Would love to come back in the summer to enjoy the lake!

perfect getaway
We stayed at the nosey doe in February and it was the perfect fit for our family! The house is clean, organized, and spacious. It has everything you need to relax and unwind. Our kids enjoyed the nearby playground and riding their bikes around the development. We can't wait to book more time in the summer! Thanks Jess and Bud for an awesome stay!

Fantastic
Pictures do not do it justice. House is clean, spacious, cozy and warm. There was plenty of space for everyone to hang out and the open concept was perfect so you always feel like you are apart of the action. There is plenty to do in the common and so much close by. My family and I will surely be coming back.

Relaxing Stay
We had a very pleasant and relaxing stay. The cabin was exceptionally clean and in order. I was pleasantly surprised that you had towels everything we needed for our stay. Not to mention soap, dishwashing, liquid detergent for the dishwasher. The beds were very comfortable and exceptionally clean. We will definitely be looking into this again next year. There were televisions and basically every room except the bathrooms. That is a plus.
