Great place, good view, restaurants/shops 10 min drive away

Dave has been a great host to us. He was immensely helpful and have followed through all the requests we had. He was kind enough to bring chairs down by the fire to accommodate all our family members even when he had packed away all the chairs for the season. He was also readily available via text and answering any questions we had. He has been very hands on and it was very convenient as he was just a few steps away from our lodge. Only feedback I have is that we had a dishwasher that didn't have water running(also because they had some work done to make the lodge look nicer, it wasn't the host's fault) and a sponge to clean the dishes right away. But Dave was very communicative and acknowledged the issues and gave us solutions right away. The hosts suggested us about the nearby restaurants and shops which was conveniently about 10 min drive away. It has a wide array of selections in terms of restaurant as well as many candy and ice cream spots. Google does sometimes give you the wrong information as most ice cream spots were closed when we went there, it was possibly a seasonal thing. All in all, it was a great stay and my family had a wonderful time out there. Please don't forget to get outside late in the night and take in the beautiful stars that light up the sky, truly a beautiful sight!

Amazing Property

From the beginning the communication was excellent. The cabin was beautiful and had everything we could possibly need for our stay. We have stayed at many different homes through VRBO, and this by far was the cleanest, best stocked home we have ever stayed at. We will definitely stay again. The lake view and the property are beautiful!!!
