Great house with great attention to detail and quality everywhere. Tammy was super easy to work with and helpful. Some things were not super obvious to figure out but we managed and got everything we needed. Boat rental was smooth and worthwhile, but the lake was super weedy, requiring frequent de-weeding stops. Fishing from the pier was also a bit challenging because of weeds but the kids still had fun and caught some small northern pike, bass, and panfish.

Amazing lake home

This home on Brown’s Lake checks every box. It is spacious with plenty of space for 12 of us (9 adults and 3 kids) to spread out. The newly remodeled kitchen is amazing (nicer than mine at home) and has every dish, pot, pan or utensil you could ever need. A screened-in 3 season room is off the kitchen with wonderful views of the lake. There are two master bedrooms, but all of the bedrooms are spacious and are located near bathrooms that are lovely. Everyone in our group had their own space and were very comfortable. There is a Weber gas grill that we used every night, and a wonderful fire pit located on the lower deck. We brought our own boat and the lake is perfect for water skiing and tubing because it isn’t crowded. We had a fantastic vacation. No one wanted to leave.

Clean & Inviting Lakefront Retreat

We loved this cozy lakefront getaway for our group of 6. Charming decor, spacious rooms, comfy beds, plenty of towels, and gorgeous lake views! The owner was pleasant and quick to respond when we needed help locating the WiFi password. Overall an easy-breezy fun stay that is listed among our favorite VRBO properties to return to!

Excellent home and stay

We had a great stay at the house: two couples and four kids under the age of five. The house was perfectly set up for our group, with plenty of space and indoor/outdoor areas. The place was spotless, beds were comfortable, and linens were abundant - made for an easy settling in. There are also grocery stores and a solid number of restaurants in and around Burlington, so we hardly had to drive.
