I have never worked with a more accommodating host. Deb is everything you would hope for and more. She had a welcome basket ready for us, and even put up a Christmas Tree for us to enjoy! She thought of everything - from a well stocked kitchen, to lots of hangers and towels. We were more than comfortable and loved every moment!

We enjoyed our stay at this little cottage. Some of its great features were: Comfy furniture-including the beds, a well stocked kitchen including an amazing complimentary coffee selection & snack basket, and its proximity to the Surf! In the spirit of lake cottages, she can be a bit drafty on bitter cold days, just pack the slippers. Deb was quick to respond to any issues with the few hiccups we had, we do wish we had known the washing machine was out of order. But all in all a good stay!

This little home was absolutely beautiful, cozy and perfect in every way! The host offered a Welcome snack basket upon arrival! She provided many items for convenience that I haven't seen other hosts provide. The bedrooms were extremely comfortable and very easy to get a full nights sleep in. The dining area was in the front porch area which offers the natural light and incredible sunrise. The fire pit was a nice touch and wood was provided. Home was located a block away from the Lake and Surf Ballroom, it is oozing with history! The pricing was very inexpensive for the amenities provided here. Games and puzzles were even available as well as the cutest beach towels. We loved every second and highly recommend!!!!
