Beautiful home with incredible views and direct lake access. Plenty of room to host our group. Everything was very comfortable, cozy, and clean. The garage was extremely convenient to store our gear. Long driveway was also very convenient. Would love to stay again!

We enjoyed our stay at the Chillwater Lake house over the New Year holiday it was comfortable for all of us we had 8 adults staying with plenty of room for all!!We are looking into staying during the summer to enjoy the lake. We did brave the cyclone winds and blowing snow in our side by side had a great ride. The house is comfortable and nicely decorated and Riley was very quick to respond to any questions we had. I highly recommend this property!!
