Highly recommend!

We booked for a family vacation with our kids and grandkids. The large kitchen with plenty of seating was a big plus. Great location walking into town and the beach. Hosts are very responsive and helpful.

Fantastic family gathering stay.

This lovely historic home checked all the boxes. It was very clean with all the amenities you need. All the beds are very comfortable. It has a beautiful lake view with only a short walk to the public beach. You can walk to everything in town which was great! The communication with the owners was smooth and they answered all my questions. Check in/out process was simple. I highly recommend staying here for your next family/friend gathering. :) There is an apartment attached to the house but we didn't notice extra noise. It made no difference to our stay.

Sky house

Charming town, great location. Very spacious property. Needs patio and grill. Huge yard but not usable. Back yard was unsightly . Huge potential once completely remodeled. I would rent again.
