Great amenities and host

The hosts are very responsive and helpful. We loved taking out the kayaks and using the hot tub, all very easy to use. The beds could've been better (and maybe use a more natural laundry detergent), but overall a great stay.

Quiet and cozy

This location is nice and secluded despite sharing the driveway with the neighbors. The property manager is easy to reach should you need anything.

Spacious cabin-like home tucked away in a rural area. We didn't have a chance to enjoy all the amenities, the lake, hot tub, fire pit, trampoline, canoes, etc so I wish we had stayed longer to enjoy those items. Beds were comfortable, home was clean and loved all the family games that were provided.

Comfortable and clean

Hidden gem! Easy check in and out. Excellent house with fully stocked kitchen. House is extremely clean and in a private and serene location. The beds and couches are comfortable, and the hot tub was amazing. The deck has plenty of comfortable seating so you can enjoy the beautiful lake view. Already looking forward to renting it again!

The house was very nicely redone. It was very comfortable for a family of three. We had no problems was as expected. Had the weather been nicer? It would’ve been a fantastic place to take advantage of the lake life with kayaks, a trampoline, etc. Great location, Good communication made our trip enjoyable.

Serenity

This is the perfect place to recharge and relax. The view of the lake from the porch in the morning is the best place to wake up and reset for the day. We saw bunnies, a mama deer and her little fawn, a woodchuck, sandhill cranes, cardinals, swans, hummingbirds, and a variety of songbirds. The hot tub is amazing, the layout of the house is great for a larger family. The host is easy to communicate with and provided accommodations when we needed an early check in due to traveling with an elderly family member. The house is clean, the bedding is soft and the little extra amenities provided in the bathrooms are a great touch. We will continue to make this an annual trip and are already looking forward to next summer!
