The cutest little house ever!

Our stay was amazing. The house was absolutely adorable, super clean and sooo relaxing. We had an amazing cozy weekend and we especially loved being able to go out on the lake with the peddle boat. So glad I picked this house!

Perfect little family getaway

The property was exactly as pictured. It was clean and cute and well stocked of all amenities. I brought some food and seasoning and spices from home but they had olive oil and basil and Italian seasoning and cinnamon which I never would have expected. We used the kayaks and the pedal boat and my kids loved both! We would definitely love to come back again.

Football Hall of Fame get away

Very clean, nice property. Good location. Was much nicer than staying in a hotel for a couple of days. We had just one minor issue. The storm door lock needs the handle set screw tightened. It comes off when you pull it to open the door. If anyone is looking to visit the Pro Football Hall of Fame this is a great location and only about 20 minutes to all the happenings. Thanks Tim and Melissa for allowing us to stay.

Perfect Weekend! Highly Recommend!

Our stay at Little Lakefront was perfect! We arrived to a BEAUTIFUL home that had EVERYTHING we needed! Water in the fridge, coffee for the morning, bug spray, firewood & fire starters! The lake view is great and the pedal boat and kayaks were perfect lake toys to enjoy. We loved floating around enjoying the views and beautiful lakeside homes. You can tell this home is loved, very well maintained and beautifully decorated. It was an amazing spot for our girls weekend and we will definitely be back again!
