Cozy Lake House

This place was perfect for our family trip! Beautiful scenery and plenty of space. The WiFi can get a little iffy when too many people are connected, but stepping onto the back porch and looking out at the lake was enough to get good cell service 😉 The host is very attentive and checked on us each day. 10/10 would stay here again!

Perfect for a boating family, or those who prefer a quiet cove for swimming and kayaking

Lovely site, relaxed and quiet with enough trees between us and the neighbors to feel secluded. We enjoyed sitting on the deck. The teens made full use of the dock, kayaks and Lilly pad for swimming in this quiet cove. The kitchen was well equipped. The WI-FI was adequate if we turned off some of our devices. Overall we enjoyed our stay

Family Vacation

Our grandson from Boston was visiting so the rest of our family joined. Parking was more than adaquate as we had 15 people and one brought a boat. We enjoyed the deck and especially all the kayaks and paddle boards provided. The owner was easy to communicate with. The bedrooms were on the smaller side but we spent most of our time outdoors or in the living area.

Comfortable, clean, spacious lakeside home

This home was exactly as advertised. It was very clean, nicely decorated, and had everything we needed for our stay. We had six adults and had ample space for sleeping and hanging out. The view is lovely and had it not rained so much while we were there, we definitely would have enjoyed the deck and outdoor fire pit. The owner was very attentive and checked in to ensure our stay was going well. We would definitely come back again.
