Family visit from abroad

My in-laws visited and they thoroughly enjoyed their stay at Alexandra’s place. The views were fantastic and swimming was fun! Alexandra was fantastic to communicate with. She has been very thoughtful, helpful and kind. Thank you! One thing that was unexpected and not described well was the second rental property directly beside the larger rental property. If it was described in the listing we would have tried to rent it out simultaneously. We would love to come back!

Amazing views, wonderful hosts!

Our family of six spent a week at this lovely property. It is spacious enough for everyone to spread out, but had both indoor and outdoor spots for everyone to gather. The kitchen is absolutely stocked with everything you need to prepare and serve a meal, including seasonings, oils, flour, etc... They also had a lovely supply of coffee, espresso and tea and provided us with a welcome gift of some cold drinks and snacks. The view from the kitchen/dining area is truly magical, I enjoyed my coffee every morning admiring the gorgeous water and islands in the bay. The living room is cozy and the couch is comfortable, we spend a couple night watching movies as a family and there was plenty of room for the six of us. It's especially great for younger kids as they provide lots of toys, my kids personally enjoyed playing a little xbox when we weren't enjoying the outdoors. The bedrooms were nice, and beds comfy, but a little warm if you didn't sleep with the doors to the deck open and a fan running. The bathrooms had soaps and shampoos and a plenty of towels for everyone. The outside is amazing, there is a lot of space! We set up volleyball net and cornhole and spent tons of time in the yard. We had a fire pit one night and definitely enjoyed the covered patio area with the same amazing lake views as the kitchen. We spent plenty of time down at the water fishing (no luck), kayaking, searching for cool rocks, and just enjoying the clear waters. There were even beach towels for our use. The only thing we didn't know going in--but did not detract from our stay at all--is that the other rental property on site is the A frame part of the house. There is no access from one rental to another and we only crossed paths at the beach and in the driveway, so it wasn't a big deal, just something i would have preferred knowing. Especially nice for us is that we were able to bring our dog who loves traveling and the water. The hosts included treats for him in the welcome basket and had a supply of dog towels, bowls and doggie bags as well. He loved every second of being there. Thanks so much Alexandra, we didn't want to leave!
