Beautiful place to getaway
My husband and I spent the weekend here with our dogs in October. The fall colors around the lake were unparalleled. Kitchen was stocked, bed was comfy, plenty of room for the dogs to run. We walked through the forest to the other lake and watched bald eagles. Deer came to visit in the evening. Nice quiet and relaxing stay.

Gorgeous lake house
We enjoyed a chilly fall extended weekend. Chalet is well planned and functional, plugs and lights where you want them, etc. We were delighted to find we could leave our cotton thermal blankets in their bag, since the hosts have them on the beds. I enjoyed cooking in the well supplied kitchen. Hubbie worked a bit, internet slows down a lot on the weekend (like most places up north), so watching shows that I downloaded early in the morning through my phone’s hot spot worked quite well. A wonderful get away.

Quiet, Peaceful stay on the edge of a beautiful little lake. Area is a hiker's paradise inhabited with loads of wildlife. House was like home and Carole was accomodating without being intrusive. Great House, Great Location, Great Time.

Serene Piece of Paradise
Our weekend stay here was too short! This very private spot, surrounded by woods with a small lake for paddling was perfect for relaxing on the large deck and watching the dogs run and play. The house had everything we needed and Carole was very accessible for questions. We hope to be able to return some day!

Chalet
We had a wonderful week stay at the Chalet. Carol was a gracious host and immediately responded to any questions. We made use of the lake for floating and fishing; catching bluegills and sunfish on every outing. The home was well equipped with everything we needed and the peaceful location was everything we could have wanted. We will definitely be back.

Excellent Private Getaway!
The home was quite away off the road and so quiet you could talk to the boys across the lake fishing from the dock! The road off the driveway was an ORV trail so it was perfect to leave the house and hit the ATV trails that surround the area! Will definitely be back.

Another Wonderful Stay
This is our second time staying at this property. We enjoyed our stay last year and decided to book another stay this year. Chalet is located in a peaceful setting and location is great for day trips to nearby towns. We will be back again next year. Thank you Carole!

Peaceful and relaxing but landscaping needs work
Overall it was a very nice place. The lake was very nice and I enjoyed walking through the woods with my dogs. I deducted one star because the landscaping was neglected and overgrown. What once appeared to be flower beds were overgrown with grass and weeds, as were the beds that were around a couple of the trees. Shrubs outside the kitchen and dining area were overgrown and distracted from the view of the woods. Interior was nice, but the exterior landscaping around the house gave the property a somewhat abandoned feeling.
