We are happy you had a great experience Peggy:). The weather Gods were on your side & hopefully their rein continues. Looking forward to hosting you again.

We absolutely loved this place. It was perfect for a family with kids or a romantic getaway for adults. The lake was beautiful and the morning were perfect for coffee drinking on the dock. The host was nice and had great recommendations for local spots.
We had a great stay! Everything was clean, comfy, and is bigger than the pictures appeared. The location was perfect, and we had everything we needed. Would definitely stay here again! :)

Thanks for your review & im glad you mostly enjoyed your stay & the accommodations.
My husband, myself and our dog had a wonderful vacation at this lovely home. The house was clean and comfortable. It was stocked with everything we needed, plus more! The large table was perfect for doing puzzles. We enjoyed kayaking and fishing. But most of all, we enjoyed relaxing in the beautiful surroundings! The lake is so pretty! We definitely recommend staying at this home for a fantastic getaway.

Kate,
Thank you for your recent stay with us, we truly appreciate your patronage. So glad you enjoyed the property and the local surroundings, hopefully we will host you again soon.
Much thanks,
Tim
Loved our week by the pond! A nice, quiet spot for relaxing. Our son discovered a love for paddle boarding and we all took trips out on the kayaks. House had everything we needed! Puzzles were a bonus - we spent much of the week teaming up on one of the 1,000 piece challenges. Hoping to come back down the road!
It was an absolutely wonderful vacation by the lake! The deck was perfect for early morning coffees and beaver sightings. The paddle-boards were so much fun and so were the kayaks. The sandy beach was a 2min walk from the house and we spent more of our time swimming there but we definitely couldโve also swam by the house. The hammock was my favorite spot to relax and read books. And the grill was perfect to enjoy bbqs every night. It was our 3rd time visiting and hope to be back again soon!
We absolutely loved the view of the lake and everything about the place. Our entire stay was relaxing, beautiful, and cozy.

Looking forward to hosting you again.
Happy New Year:)

Nice quiet location, great beach 2-3 minutes walk. Clean rooms, Air Conditioner is a great "" in August. Host Timothy responded any requests and questions very promptly. I would stay there again
We cannot say enough good things about our stay! The house was lovely and well stocked with essentials. Our host communicated above and beyond with us and We felt at home and enjoyed every minute of it. Even though we went during a cooler time, we absolutely recommend staying here anytime of the year, because Iโm sure itโs even better in the summertime. Will definitely be back!

This is our 2nd stay at the lake house. Everything about this house is just perfect. It has everything you need and more, just pack your clothes and enjoy! Itโs a very peaceful place to just relax and enjoy the lake and scenery. Tim who is the host is very personable and communication is great! We will definitely be returning!
My friend and I are here for a few months on contract work, and this cabin has been such a gift! Itโs absolutely gorgeous, with charming decor that makes it feel like a little retreat from the world. The large windows in the living room are one of our favorite features. They flood the space with natural light and make everything feel calm and peaceful.Itโs so quiet and serene here during the winter. Tim has thought of everything we could possibly need and then some. Heโs incredibly responsive and kind, and itโs clear he genuinely cares about his guests. We couldnโt recommend this place more!

Thanks again,

We had an amazing time at Timโs property. Everything was clean and there were lots of amenities like a keurig, air fryer and crock pot. Beach towels were on site and the kids loved the local beach with floating platform for cannon balls and other fun. We saw a bunch of wildlife! Beautiful, quiet location. Canโt wait to come back!

This house on the pond was exactly what my family needed for a getaway. Very quiet neighborhood, fishing, kayaking, my kids tried paddle boarding. And the beach down the street was awesome! Our host Tim was very accommodating and always available to answer questions. Thanks so much!

Thank you for being a wonderful & respectful guest. Your family is welcomed back anytime, we look forward to hosting you again soon.

This was a great house and location. It was exactly as listed - clean and comfortable with everything you would need. The neighborhood is quiet and great for walking. A short walk up the street is a playground and sandier entry beach into the lake for swimming although we also did a lot of paddling right from the property.

My friends and I stayed here for a long weekend of board games in mid-July. Great place to chill, be on the lake, and enjoy the scenery! We used the paddle boards to explore the lake and I really enjoyed relaxing in the hammock overlooking the water. Tim was great and very responsive!
