This property was great, and the view from the deck is beautiful. The host was amazing. We were there during some scary weather and he made sure we were aware of it and that the property was secure.

Our family had a wonderful time at the home on Long Lake. Our two grandchildren boys loved using the lily pad tied to the dock multiple times during our stay. We had relaxing rides on the pontoon boat and also used it for fishing. Josh offers a very reasonable daily rate for it. Our boys caught 20 bluegills from the dock, including a large mouth bass. The house was clean and comfortable and offered a great view of the lake which was our favorite part. Our little Boston Terrier loved the yard and deck to relax on. We are hoping to be back again next spring.

Wonderful Weekend

The house and property were well kept and very clean. There was plenty to do as the house came with kayak's and a paddle boat which seem to be a big hit. It is a beautiful place. The host was very accommodating and made sure we were well taken care of.

Great Stay

We had a wonderful stay at The Escape on Long Lake. The house was very comfortable and has very comfortable beds. The fall weather allowed us to enjoy the deck one afternoon and the beautiful fall colors enhanced the view across the lake. Our host was very responsive when we had questions and we totally enjoyed our time. We'd like to come back in the summer when we could enjoy the lake as well.
