Beautiful home on beautiful Sage Lake. Home has a great layout for families and is very clean from top to bottom. The host was professional and easy to communicate with.
Our family stayed for a long weekend and was pleasantly surprised with the house. The house was one of the best stocked I’ve ever stayed at: from cozy, soft beach towels to all types of cooking implements and family games.
This is a great location for a family getaway! The house and lake were beautiful and had everything we needed. I have stayed at many vrbos over the years and have to say Eric went above and beyond to ensure our stay was perfect.
Great stay with my family, the home had everything we needed we brought extra towels and blankets in case but never needed them. The lake is very nice and plenty large enough to roam. Would definitely recommend this home.
Great location! Beautiful view! Wonderful amenities! The owners have thought of everything to make your stay relaxing and fun. We had a fantastic time at the Blue Chalet on Sage Lake. Thank you for a true 5 Star stay. 😁✨⭐️✨
Super clean house with everything you need for a great getaway!
We really enjoyed our stay at the home. There was plenty of room for 10 of us to sleep comfortably. The house was clean, organized, and had everything we needed. We took advantage of the kayaks that were available and rented the pontoon as well to cruise around Sage Lake. The host was easy to get in touch with and quickly responded to any questions. We would definitely stay here again.
My husband and I along with our 2 adult children and and their spouses and 2 grandkids (age 14 and 9) had an amazing time. The property owner was great. The house had everything you could want and was very comfortable. The lake is beautiful. We boated, paddle boarded, kayaked, fished and just enjoyed spending quality time together. Definitely want to come back next year.
Absolutely gorgeous home!! Loved the location too! Property owner Eric is so friendly and very accessible and accommodating! The only thing missing was an AirFryer ……. I mean it EVERYTHING else was supplied and available for use! I DEFINITELY would recommend for a Fun Filled and Relaxing time!
We had a wonderful time at the blue chalet on sage lake. The house was immaculately clean, and contained just about everything we needed. The bedding was very comfortable, with plenty of beach towels (a nice surprise). The water in front of the house was free of weeds, and had stairs to step down from the dock…which made getting in/out of the water very easy (especially for our dog). The dock was wide at the end, which provided room to put out chairs to sit or fish. Whenever we had questions, the host was quick to respond, which we appreciated. We also rented their pontoon boat, which was clean and comfortable (much like the bedding, lol), and perfect for our needs. We would definitely stay here again!
This home was the perfect getaway to bring two families together! The house was super clean, organized, and well-stocked with supplies. The owner answered questions expediently and really provided everything needed to make the vacation great. From the guidance on nearby places to check out to the wonderful kayaks and fun family games to play with, we felt right at home. Not to mention the beautiful, all-sport lake right out the back door! We were able to launch our boat from the boat launch literally just a minute away and keep it right at the dock in their backyard for easy access all day long. We would definitely recommend and stay again in the future!
Had a six day vacation mid August. Rained four out of six, and it didn't matter! Well designed and light filled, this chalet has more than enough communal and semi private interior space to give a group the room to spread out.
Sage Lake is a beauty, spring fed and sprawling. I went fishing for Gills and Crappie, had no problem finding them. This is a quiet lake with many grandparents about on pontoons.
Perfect!
My spouse was inspired by the wildlife. Highly recommended by us both, Eric is a good host.
