"This is a lovely and well-appointed home in a truly beautiful location.I kayaked around Star Lake almost every day and every day I saw (and heard) a family of loons up close. Our family also used the hosts’ “raft” several times to motor around the lake, and met folks whose families have owned homes on the lake for generations. The hosts, Luke and Meredith, were very communicative and accommodating and made sure we had everything we needed to get the most out of our stay."

8/10 Good
"We really enjoyed our stay, and it's a great rental. Unfortunately the weather didn't cooperate and it rained the whole time so we weren't able to enjoy the back yard, patio, BBQ but it looked amazing! The host advised the shower was a little tricky and I wasn't able to get it sorted, but the bath was lovely and I didn't bother Sasha about it because it wasn'ta big deal for us. The place was spotless, and nicely appointed with cool cottage decor. We'd definitely be interested in coming back again in the future."
