Great Weekend Getaway!

Booked the house for a long weekend getaway with family and friends. House was in great location next to the lake, clean and great overall layout with plenty of room for all of us. The kitchen was well equipped with plenty of pots and pans for cooking. Awesome game room with a pool table that we all enjoyed. Upper deck was enjoyable to sit, relax and enjoy the scenery. The hot tub on the lower deck was fantastic too. We would definitely stay again.

Had an amazing get away! House was clean upon arrival and owners were great with communication. The boat slips were a must since we had two boats for fishing.

Great for families.

There is so much to do here. Kitchen was amazing. Lots of space for kids and adults. Couldn’t play pool in evening bc bedrooms are downstairs and kids were sleeping otherwise no real complaints. Was a bit dusty in some spots like under beds and couches but I think that’s to be expected somewhat. Thank you!

Hosts were amazing

The hosts were so great at communication with us. The power went out community-wide one evening and they immediately texted to let us know what was going on and what to expect. We were able to use the gas grill and fire pit (s’mores!) while we waited for the lights to come back on. We like to cook and this was one of the best rentals we’ve experienced with quality cookware and utensils. There are two refrigerators, two ovens and two dishwashers and we used them all! The beds were really comfy and there were nice touches like robes for each of us. There is a great hot tub also which we really enjoyed, as well as a pool table. I would highly recommend this home!

Wonderful getaway!

It’s always a plus when your stay is even better than the pictures! This home had it all. The views were beautiful. The kitchen was well stocked. It felt like I was in someone’s home, not a a vacation home. The kitchen had everything to make cooking and baking easy. The house was well furnished, and the beds, in particular, were very comfortable. The hot tub was a delight! Excellent stargazing! We had two families of four stay in the house, and there was plenty of room to spread out and be comfortable! The huge dining room table that we could all sit at was awesome. And the location was super convenient! We didn’t need to communicate with the hosts, but they reached out to us to make sure everything was going well. We would absolutely stay here again.

Perfect Lake House for our Big Family

Our week's stay at this house went so fast with so much fun. The house is CLEAN and friendly, startomg with a nice basket of gifts and a card from the owner tp welcome us. Our group of 12 enjoyed the dual applicances in the kitchen (especially two refrigerators). The huge dining room table fit us all comfortably - important to us as we split up dinner duty among three families & eat in every day. Lovely porch with an overhang with plenty of seating for us all to hang out with books and coffees and other beverages while watching the little kids enjoy the playground/playset. A very short little path leads to the dock where we kept our rented kayaks and on a couple of different days a rental boat. We all played & swam off this dock that is protected from any fast boat traffic. Fresh clean sheets were on the beds and beautiful fluffy towels were abundant. They even provided hotel quality robes in each room. Big pool room (bring your own pool stick if you are serious about the game but most of us were not!) The owners were super responsive for our booking and providing us with the access code when we arrived. They checked in with us via text and were very helpful. The location of this house is perfect. The street is well populated on the right side (lake side) and wooded on the left, giving us lot of deer to enjoy and even a bear that meandered through the yard, much the the delight of the kids. Everything about our stay was positive. Thank you.
