Our experience was amazing. When we booked, we didn’t know a snow storm would come. Two of us were unable to get home. Justin was kind enough to help us set up another day. The home was beautiful. We had our annual knitting retreat here. We had four out of our six attend. There was plenty of room for us all. It had everything we needed. We plan to come back.

Plenty of room!

We had a great week with 10 of us coming together for some extended family time. Plenty of room for all and we really enjoyed using the provided kayaks to get out on the lake. The yard was large enough for games and the trails around Rochester shaded our walks/runs!

Perfect for family with small children

This house was perfect for my fiancé and our 2 year old twins. Not only was the house was already baby proofed but it had everything we typically would need to pack/bring with us (pack and play, highchairs, baby gates, etc) we loved the fenced in yard so our littles could run and play without the stress of getting too close to the water. We hope to return in the future!

We had a great weekend at the house with college friends. We went out and caught fish, the house was nice, the communication with the owner was quick responses and very helpful, and was everything was very enjoyable. It was the first time we had ever done a VRBO or anything like it, but it was a very good first experience.
