Lovely and peaceful

We went for just a couple of days to get away and had a wonderful time. Lakeshore Haven is very well maintained and had some special touches - a personalized welcome note when we arrived, cupcakes, fresh bananas and a spectacular coffee bar and nook where the sun poured in every morning. The house was immaculate and well stocked. The rooftop deck is adorable and a peaceful place to sit for coffee or cocktails. We would highly recommend!

Quick trip to get away

Our stay was overall a great success and was all helped by the little things our host did. A few personalized messages and treats throughout house helped us feel welcome. The weather did not 100% work with us but we all enjoyed our time indoors by talking, playing games or just taking time with ourselves. Plenty of room for our needs, great trip.

Very nice place to stay.

The location is GREAT! Safe neighborhood. The view from the front and the back of the house are FANTASTIC! The lake is great; great fishing and nearly weed-free! The cabin is clean, smells nice and has tons of space! While the weather and the golf course didn't cooperate, we had an enjoyable time playing games and visiting the town. It's close enough to walk to town and the park too! I would stay here again! FYI~the golf course is closed for the 2024 season. Communication with the host is quick and easy. Check in was a breeze.

Hi! Thank you for considering our haven! This has been a dream come true for me (Nicki) as I have wanted lake property for as long as I can remember. I am happy to share this little slice with you! I am married to Aaron and we have three beautiful children. We are certainly busy with our dairy farm, children's sports, and life in general.

You will be only minutes from Main Street Theatre, restaurants, grocery stores, etc.
