Normal check-in is 3 p.m. and check-out is 11 a.m - if you need us to accommodate different timing, just ask - if we haven't had a guest the night before, or we don't have a new guest coming in, we can probably adjust this for you. But you must get this in writing from Lisa - either through here, or via a text message to confirm, so our cleaning team is made aware.
Plenty of room for friends and family to socialize, and relax. Inside and outside. Deck has plenty of seating and gas outdoor fireplace. (If you want to host a party here of people not spending the night with you, inquire with us about how you can do this, and the additional costs!)

We have 3+ acres for parking of cars, boat trailers, etc. contact us for information about renting for parties (graduations, birthdays, small weddings, engagements, larger family reunions etc. basically anything more than 30 people or more than 10 cars) , as this takes a special permit. But we can take care of this for you.
In addition. We can add for you - Full Breakfast, Evening Receptions, Picnic Lunches, and fun experiences. Info on costs & experiences available are listed at the house when you check in.
The only thing we like to share with guests if you are used to great water pressure you will be disappointed. We are rural, and are on the water line, but it doesn't have a ton of pressure and previous guests have mentioned this. Easy to avoid if you can not wash clothing or dishes while showering or checking to see if sprinklers are on before showering. This helps considerable with the guest water pressure experience. Our family of 20 stayed there for the Christmas holiday and we found that it worked great if we followed these few suggestions.
Check out and getting your deposit back? It's pretty easy.
1.) Please bag all trash and place beside the inside garage door when you leave, or if not windy on front step area.
2.) Don’t worry to make the bed as we will be washing all the sheets & blankets anyway. If you want to go the extra mile, you can peel off the sheets, and place them on top of each bed. PLEASE NOTE: If you are aware of any stains, blood, wine, mud, just alert us to them kindly – you’re not penalized it just gives us a chance to address them before the stain is washed and set. There are shout sticks if you want to pre-treat any stain you are aware of!
3.) Dishes are to be clean and put away, or in at least in the dishwasher. If you have a problem with any appliance or dish that we need to be aware of - please let us know ASAP. We will gladly address as quickly as possible for guests in the need, or will take care of when you leave for the next guest depending on the situation.
4.) If you have paid the pet fee we ask you to pick up any dog droppings that might affect the next guest, or alert us to any damage. You are covered by the fee unless its $300 or more of damage, but we will want to address any damage or special cleaning needs immediately. IF you bring a dog without the paying the pet fee, you will lose your deposit. PERIOD. The time to inquire about bringing a pet is BEFORE bringing one. Contact us directly if you have questions about this policy. We are very friendly towards dogs, but want to make sure our house does NOT look like it is. Thanks for your consideration about this.

Communication was excellent with the owner. It has a beautiful view of the lake. The place was very clean, and we had so much fun! Located close to the marina, so getting the boat in was very convenient. Excellent for large groups/families.
Great house. The deck was a great spot for hanging out and entertaining. Good amenities. Good communication from host. Would rent again if we were back in the area
It was fantastic to have enough space to all sit down and eat together. The tv room was so comfortable!! It was great to relax in!!

We are so happy to be able to host large groups and gatherings. We hope to host you again in the future, and you should note, we've added a larger and more inviting deck and new outdoor furniture in June 2023 and made it even nicer than when you stayed last time! We hope to add a hot tub before the snow starts in Fall 2023!
The facility worked very well for our large family. The owners are very nice and the amenities were more than expected. Thank you for making our family reunion a success
Loved the large tables for eati g andgames. The wrap around deck was great for kids games in the mornings playing corn hole in the evenings and chillin around the fire in the comfy patio furniture. Great stay

Property was clean, kitchen well stocked, wonderful deck with amazing view of lake. Really enjoyed large dining room tables for family gathering! Had a great weekend despite rain showers
We cannot say enough how beautiful and clean and accommodating the Pine Cone was for my daughter’s wedding weekend! Perfect place for rehearsal supper for family and wedding party Friday night and then the bridal party got ready on Saturday morning with the perfect lighting and the view of the river was spectacular! The hosts were so so helpful with every aspect and so friendly. Thank you for helping make my little girls day so perfect!

The space was very nice for visiting, the kitchen was well equipped except can opener should be trashed and new one gotten. Home was clean and very bright - so many windows. Beds/sleeping was not what was posted on VRBO. Not cleaning the sidewalks and driveway in a timely manner after the snow and leaving us a grain shovel to scoop with was not ideal for anyone. We also had to fix the fireplace ourselves as your repair person could not come until 3 days after check-in. I would say the home is a better summer stay. Oh and we only had 2 rolls TP in 2 bathrooms and one roll in the other - so we bought TP.
Group of ladies who have been friends since some of us were 3! We’ve been traveling each year for 30 years . We have dealt with marriages, funerals, babies, grandbabies, funerals- grief and joy!

A rare example of an VBRO that is way better in person
The house exceeded our expectations. The layout is perfect for multiple family generation events. Rec Room downstairs for the kids, formal area for older folks, a big common area and huge dining room. There were furniture upgrades from the photos on line. An A+ property.

Thank you for your review and for your private messages. We really enjoyed having you!

We loved the property. So perfect for our ladies’group. Spotless, scenic and relaxing. Deer at sunrise, gorgeous sunset from the deck. Bedrooms were spacious and cozy. Kitchen supplies were perfect and we couldn’t have asked for more. Lisa, the host was prompt with question and very helpful. Loved all of it. Will be back!
We loved the location! Everything we needed was there. Clean property. Working hot tub. Showers kept up. We loved all the turkeys. The deck was a beautiful scene.
My only complaint: The description of people/beds was a bit deceiving as we booked for 18 guests but did not have that many beds. There were floor cushions to use as beds, but we did have to grab an air bed as well. Re-reading the description, I think it is stated that there are not 18 beds - but it’s also easy to confuse when the post says up to 18 guests.

State Bowling Tournament
There were 6 men that stayed at the house. They loved the house and the view. It met their needs and they enjoyed staying there. The problems I’ve experienced are the lack of communication with the owner. I never received the door code to get in the house and there was plumbing problems that I won’t have been aware of if I hadn’t called to get the door code. It has been two weeks since the men stayed and I’m still waiting for the reimbursement of the security deposit. I’ve sent an email a few days ago and still waiting for a response.
No doubt we were very pleased with our stay at this place, and very confidently recommend it to other people. Our family of 5 truly enjoyed our stay and the space that it provided. Although we only had 5 people, larger groups could easily be accommodated. The house itself was very well stocked with all of the necessities and then some. Dishes, cups/glasses, utensils, towels, bedding, family games, and toiletries were all provided. Having access to the washer and dryer was a plus as well.
It's location is very nice in relation to the lake/Dam. And the view from the deck is wonderful. Every morning we enjoyed our coffee on the deck and were greeted with visitors such as turkeys and deer. And every night we enjoyed our time on the deck with the gas fire place.
Lisa - the owner - was so kind and inviting and willing to provide whatever we needed. She even invited us down to her new place to take a peek at their new venture. It's a sweet deal!!
We would book this place again no doubt! Once the word gets out - it might be a little more difficultto get on the schedule next time!! :)
We had a great time. Nice place with everything we needed. Thank you!
