Wonderful location. Super refreshing. Warm, clean and cozy. All stay-related amenities available and easily accessible. Many options and equipment available onsite for outdoor activities - bikes, boat, fire-pit, a wonderful and big deck, lots of tree-covered ground to walk around, and of course the lake.The only thing that wasn’t very clear from the photos is that the center queen bedroom is not enclosed with a privacy door - a minor surprise for us, but overall excellent and relaxing stay.

Cozy and relaxing

Great property for a weekend stay. We loved the lot, the house was quaint, cozy and clean. Well furnished with everything we needed, well labeled and everything had its place! The property manager was very responsive and you can tell that they take pride in their home. The location on the lake is great, we enjoyed fishing and using the water sport amenities!

Lovely spot, excellent get-away

This lake house is cozy, spotless and well maintained. The house has everything you need: new appliances, comfortable furnishings and everything works. The property is beautiful--we loved watching the water and identifying all of the birds we spotted in the trees, on the water and on the peninsula (the goslings were adorable and comical to observe). The outdoor space is very livable--and when it rained, we were happy indoors. We were 3 adult friends on an artist retreat, and this was perfect for us. We each had enough space to spread out and do our own thing, and there was ample common space when we came together to talk, cook and eat together. We also enjoyed the kayaks, the lake is lovely!
