Beautiful home on the lake. The house was beautifully decorated, the beds were super cozy. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay with our siblings, adult kids and pups. Lots of room, amenities and gorgeous lake. We kayaked, had a bonfire, shared many meals and made great memories. Highly recommend this property.

The property was exactly as pictured on the website. It was absolutely beautiful. Matt and Mary had provided everything we could possibly need while we were there from beach towels to beach chairs to kids games. It was just great. We enjoyed the fire pit and making s’mores. The hosts were great to communicate with and were very responsive when I had questions. It was a beautiful place to unwind and unplug with our kids and grandchildren. I can see a return trip in the future.

We had a wonderful stay at Redwood Retreat. This house is well-stocked with everything in the kitchen and bathrooms. Very clean and organized! This house has everything to offer. There was beautiful snowy weather during our stay and our kids had a great time walking the property and even sledding down the hill towards the lake. We will be back next winter!

This home was gorgeous and even better in person than in the pictures. Every detail has been thought out by the owners, including accommodations for my senior dog. We had a family ranging in age from 11 months to 72 years old, and there was something for everyone. Beautifully appointed rooms, plenty of space for quiet time, open concept in the kitchen, dining and living areas so we could spend time together. The whole family was comfortable and we'd all like to come back next year. If it was possible to give 6 out of 5 stars, I would. The owners were so easy to communicate with through the VRBO app and very quick to respond. Wonderful place to stay, highly recommend!!

Our small wedding experience

The house is beautiful and well maintained. It has a great view out onto the lake with a large sun room. New Year's was a bit chilly but we did take several walks on the beach. I'm sure that would be a fantastic beach to enjoy in the summer. Hope to visit again with friends and family, when it's warm.

Slight critique

Your home is beautiful, and we loved the view! The availability of charging outlets, snacks, and large sized rooms were an added touch. We all noticed that there were no tissues in the house. And the tub and shower both could use either grab bars or Textured floors to reduce the possibility of falls.
