Amanda's place was exactly what a friend and I needed for a conference we attended. We actually already have the house booked again for later this year when we have another event in the area. Highly recommend.

We stayed in this cottage for our summer vacation. The host, Amanda, was very accommodating when I had to change our original stay dates due to a death in the family. The cottage is in a secluded neighborhood yards away from the beach. It is adorably decorated and clean. The kitchen had a brand new gas stove and full-size refrigerator. The beds were comfortable and there was more than enough room for our family of 5. The kids got to play on the playground by the beach and we used the kayaks provided to kayak on the lake. We would definitely stay here again.

Cannot wait to come back

We all had a wonderful time at the place. The house itself is wonderful, with comfy beds, lots of space, and a very well kept property. The neighborhood was welcoming and we all were really happy with the entire experience.

Work Team Reunion

We found the booking process, communication with our host and the accommodations to be top shelf. Though we missed the best season for enjoying the water, the Fall setting is still welcoming.

Perfect space for family reunion with small children in attendance. Beach and park area were perfect and just steps from house.Home could use some DEEP cleaning and sprucing up. Found that outdoor hose, leaked to the kitchen when used. This was discovered quickly or could have been messy.All in all, we enjoyed our stay, and having a 10 year old and 13 year old with us proved to be great for being outdoors and enjoying the river.Contact with host, Amanda, was excellent. She was quick to respond when emailed.

We had a great stay! The house was perfect & looked exactly like the photos. The house felt safe and secure and as a group of girls traveling, that’s such a great feeling!! Amanda was great and was very quick to resolve an issue that we had (no fault of hers or the house). 10/10!
