This was a perfect place to relax and refresh for five busy moms and best friends. We loved sitting in the lake all day and laughing by the fire at night. We can’t wait to stay again!
We enjoyed our second stay. Nicely appointed, clean home. Used the paddleboat and ate most meals on the deck overlooking the lake.
Already looking forward to next time!!
Our 2nd stay @ the property & enjoyed as much as first time! Lovely sunsets from deck, uber quiet nights, loons on lake & minutes from my MI family! Will be back!
The weather was perfect - 80s during the day and 60s at night. Enjoyed using the paddleboat, canoe, and rowboat. The cottage was very clean and stocked with everything you may need. Only down side of the week was the fish were not biting. Definitely would love to rent again.
The house was extremely clean the lake has a great Sandy Beach to walk into although I will say the lake is extremely active with jet skis and speed boats flying by a little scary but doable there's a great little public Beach right next door the only downfall to this property is there is no air conditioning or dishwasher but the homeowner did provide fans for every bedroom and two of the bedrooms also have a ceiling fan as well as the kitchen the homeowners could not have been more friendly or easy to work with
This was a lovely cottage that was perfect for myself, my husband and our 2 grown sons. Even though it was a rainy week, we had a great time hanging out, fishing off one of the supplied boats and then cooking together. The cottage had everything we needed and the hosts were very available and quick to reply to any messages. The park next door was convenient and surprisingly quiet. Relaxing on the deck was peaceful and I looked forward to the daily visits from the pileated woodpeckers. The surrounding towns were conveniently located and held their own charms. We hope to come back again!
We had a spectacular week at the lake! We were on and in the lake every day, and had a fire most nights. There was a great breeze, so we spent a lot of time on the deck.
While it is an all sports lake, the no wake periods in the morning and early evening were perfect for kayaking and paddle boating!
The owners are great to work with! A storm knocked out the power the morning we planned to check in. And John kept us informed about the status and offered to let us come up the next day. Thankfully it was back on quickly, and we made it with no delays.
Very cute place. Had everything we needed. Beautiful view especially in the morning. Kitchen had everything we needed. WiFi great to have, worked well. We wanted for nothing. Deck was great! Would highly recommend.
We had a great time- place was right on the water, with a sandy bottom. Was a bit warm, but the fans they provided, was a huge help. Weather was great! We really enjoyed our stay and would recommend.
Check in was easy. Nice kitchen. Very clean space. Bathroom was very clean. It is right near a public park/beach area. We didn't check out the park, but being close to it wasn't bad. No extra noise, etc. We caught fish off the dock. We had a good time.
Thanks so much for hosting our family on our relaxing vacation away. The home was beautiful and was the most well stocked house I’ve ever visited! Thanks again!
I had family stay at this property during my wedding over the Fourth of July weekend on Lake George. The cabin was perfect as was the host. Thank you for the stay.
