Everything was great and the house was in perfect shape. Only thing was the walk up and down to the dock was a bit steep. We would definitely rent it again. Host was a fantastic communicator and check in super easy!

We stayed here for our 1st grand babys' gender reveal. Its a boy ! We had a great time, clean, cozy house. Beds were comfy, fire pit was nice (we left some extra wood for next guest) the dock was an amazing option, we fished off of it at night. We would definitely return. Beautiful to watch the mist off the water from the deck while drinking my coffee in the mornings.

Host was great, property was very clean and neat. Only thing I would say is be prepared for the driveway. Very steep grade. Wasn’t expecting it to be quite so treacherous. Other than that a wonderful place!!

Location is great, house is roomy and great for a large family with teenagers. The host was responsive. Loved having use of the paddle boards and kayak. Kitchen could use a few things like storage containers with lids and some extra large bowls. Cleanliness in the showers could be better. We’d definitely rent the house again.

Great Nature Getaway

The property was a great place for my family (3 young kids and 2 grandparents) to have a quick weekend getaway. We loved the fall colors over the lake and hiking locations close by were phenomenal. We hope to return in the summer because I imagine the lake is even more magical then.

House is updated and spacious enough for 3 families to stay comfortably. Also very well stocked!

There were 3 families in our group and we were all able to spread out and have our own space. The house had every amenity we needed and the view of the lake is beautiful. The owners were great to work with - would definitely rent this home again!

This property had everything we needed plus more! We really enjoyed the fire pit by the lake. The lake cove was quiet and serene. The house was very clean and the bathrooms and kitchen were stocked with soap, towels, shampoo, pots, pans, and all manner of dishes and utensils. The WiFi was great and the TV’s were all up to date. Our group of 9 loved the vibe!

Great getaway!

Plenty of room for everyone to gather together, well stocked kitchen, the extra fridge was clutch, we hung out on the dock all weekend, quiet little cove for a holiday, lovely screened porch to enjoy the evenings and when it rained... we all agreed we would rent again!
