AndThis was our second visit. Probably without sunshine and ,being indoors the whole time.we noticed bothersome issues we had not noticed the first time we came. Lighting in the kitchen was strobe lights at times. Fireplace would not start up and those instructions were confusing and vague. Bathroom faucets were loose. The bathtub without safety bars was not useful to older visitors. We love the location. Private quiet dead end road is a plus. One other concern is that curtains hang over the heating registers.

Wonderful, relaxing getaway

My spouse and I stayed for a weekend with family. We wish we could have stayed longer! The view from the deck is gorgeous and the home is quiet with practically no traffic. We cooked, hiked, and relaxed. Communication was great. I highly recommend this place!

Thanksgiving Get together

We all loved our stay! The house is immaculate. It is located at the end of the road so the setting is very quiet. The river is just outside the big window and the star gazing was fantastic. The host were super easy to work with. We will be back soon! Thank you!

Amazing place!

Myself and four friends stayed here for a girls getaway, and we could not have hoped for a more perfect place to rest and recharge. Every detail was considered to maximize comfort and coziness, from views of the peaceful waterfront from inside and outside on the deck, to the gorgeous and unique decor in every room, to the comfortable and high-quality amenities. The host was super responsive and helpful. We plan to be back!

This Avoca home promises to provide you with a fantastic experience! The owners were very warm and friendly and provided all the information we needed to ensure an easy check-in, checkout, and a comfortable stay. From the moment you walk in, you’ll feel right at home. Everything feels warm and inviting. The owners have an incredible sense of style and provide every imaginable comfort, paying close attention to detail. The kitchen has everything you’ll need—and more. We cherished every moment there, and the deck with its amazing view quickly became our favorite spot to gather. From enjoying our morning coffee while watching the cranes to sharing laughs in the evening, this home offers it all.The home sits slightly secluded on the water, so the kayaks, paddleboard, and canoes they provide are a must to enhance your visit. This was a great home-away-from-home experience. Thank you!!!

Every time I messaged her before we booked and after we checked in she answered so fast! The house is beautiful! The main floor has 3 bedrooms and a full bathroom. It also has a deck off the living room. The basement is a big open room with all the games and two futons. There is also another room down there with a queen bed. (this room has no door if that is a deal breaker for you) The basement also has a bathroom with a small shower. The basement walks out to the backyard, which is a great view! If we ever were to go back we would definitely stay here again!!

A really fun place to stay for a short getaway with friends and a toddler. We enjoyed the amazing game room, the hammock, the deck, and the view of the lake.

Fantastic house in a very peaceful location. Loved spending time outside on the deck, on the hammock, by the firepit, or on the other comfy outdoor furniture. Kitchen was well stocked, which was helpful for making big family style meals. Tons of games, puzzles, ping pong, and water amenities to enjoy the lake. Easy to get into town for groceries or if you want to check out any local haunts. Hosts were super responsive and house was spotless.

Quiet getaway

Isleside is at the end of a a nice quiet street with a nice deck and lovely view of the water. We did not get a chance to go out on the water on this trip but appreciated that kayaks were there for our use if we wanted. House was exactly as described and we enjoyed our stay.
