We were looking for a place to enjoy a short get away. We actually got that along with all the comforts of home. The property was beautiful as it sits right on the lake. It was picturesque. We loved the decor of the house, you can tell someone took time to decorate so it would look nice but also function well too. We stayed during the winter but we are considering returning in the summer to enjoy the outdoor activities.

Communication before check in and during stay was excellent. Property beautifully located. Check in and check out procedures easy. We stayed in late fall, and the lake was beautiful, can only imagine how enjoyable it would be in summer. Would have appreciated a second sofa in the living room or cushier chairs for sitting around together. And renters should know that the bathroom on the main floor is not adjacent to the main bedroom.

It was a beautiful property, absolutely loved the view. There was just a couple issues, the hot tub was incredibly dirty. There was a ton of algae all around it so when we went to get in, it was floating all over the place and we all ended up rinsing off afterwards. One of the biggest reasons we booked this place was because of the hot tub. The rooms upstairs got really hot, even though it was snowing outside, we tried to turn the air conditioners on, and none of them worked. We use the remote we use the buttons on the unit and the air vents kept opening and closing repeatedly, but nothing would come out. The rest of the house is pretty clean except for the windows. For some reason they were incredibly dirty and it looked like someone kind of clean them, but not really. Other than that the property was beautiful and the view was spectacular.

Peaceful getaway

We really enjoyed our stay!! Three ample-sized bedrooms and two perfect bathrooms. Good sized kitchen with all that you need. We loved the views of the lake from the bedrooms and living room. VERY private area!!! Lots of room in the yard. The outside fire pit is gas I think? If the owners are open to suggestion, I'd suggest a fire pit.

The place was beautiful. We loved the beach and the hot tub. Also can’t beat the view. Leaves were changing and was absolutely gorgeous.

We truly enjoyed our stay. The home is pretty secluded (yet only 10-15 mins from grocery and outlet shopping), and has a magnificent view of the lake (as shown in the photos) from the main bedrooms, living space and from the hot tub. The home was very clean, the check-in and check-out process was simple and the rental agency responded immediately to any inquiries. The house could use more towels, bedding and blankets (not a big issue since there is a washer/dryer. We would consider renting this home again.
