Great Rustic Retreat

Thoroughly enjoyed this rustic little lake house. We used it for a training day for our small team, and it worked great. Very warm and comfortable aesthetic.

It really IS a gem! We loved everything - sunsets on the lake, daily kayaking, firpits. And a great "base camp" for going out to hiking spots. Hope to be back soon!

We absolutely loved the location of this property and the home is very nice and well stocked with supplies. The views are gorgeous, the neighborhood super quiet, and just a very nice home to relax in. We really appreciated being able to check out a bit later and the instructions for check in, turning on the heat/turning off the hose in the back were all spot on.The bedrooms were nice size and the beds comfy. For two people, it was plenty of room.There is only one bathroom in the home, which we knew. Unfortunately, the water pressure isn't great (it's not terrible, we've stayed in properties where it's much worse). The one bathroom is also a bit small -- there is really no room/shelves to put toiletries/change of clothes (there are built-in ledges inside the shower, just not in the dry area of the bathroom). Also, my husband didn't love the fact it didn't have a "real" door. It has one of those bifold doors, which is private, but he didn't love it.Other than that, the place is wonderful. You really can't beat the location -- being on the lake with such a picturesque view and near the town of Naples for restaurants, and not a far drive from all the state parks.
