Thank you so much, Sharee! I’m so glad you and your family had an amazing time and enjoyed the house, the lake, and all the amenities. I really appreciate your kind words and recommendation. You were wonderful guests, I’d be happy to host you again anytime!
Property is gorgeous. Lake is beautiful. Lots of restaurants nearby and close to the Lighthouse (Wedding venue). Parking is a bit limited and there are quite a few stairs to the entrance, but could not be more happy with the experience.
The Cedar Lake Escape exceeded our expectations--offering a quiet retreat with a fantastic view!! Our large family was very comfortable, with plenty of space to spread out or be together. We enjoyed the firepit and the large selection of games provided, as well as a well stocked kitchen and very comfortable beds. Drew was a great host, he communicated thoroughly and responded promptly to messages. We will definitely stay here again when we return to the area.

Thank you so much, Diana! I’m really glad the home worked so well for your family and that you enjoyed the views, the space, and all the little extras we provide. It was a pleasure hosting you, and I truly appreciate your kind words. You’re welcome back anytime!
My family & I had a terrific time. This home is clean, beautiful and just as pictured. We couldn't have asked for a better setting, and there are plenty of little 'extras' that the owner provides. I want to thank Drew for his hospitality and ease of communications. They don't get much better than this!

Thank you, Catherine! We’re so glad you enjoyed your stay and appreciated the home and its amenities. It was a pleasure hosting you, and you’re welcome back anytime!
Exactly as pictured. The only reason we rated it a 4 was it feels very intrusive here. They're are cameras everywhere and the ownders house is connected. . It's just odd to have to share the whole middle section. had no problems but i feel like if another family was over there it would have been super awkward. So like i said it was and is a great place if you dint mind sharing space and being monitored with cameras all over.

Thank you so much for your review! We’re happy to hear you enjoyed the lake house and that it matched your expectations from the listing.
Just to clarify for future guests: the lake house is a completely separate building, —not connected to our home. I do live next door, but guests have their own private entrance, full indoor space, and dedicated outdoor areas for their exclusive use.
As stated in the listing, exterior cameras are on the property for the security and saftey of both our guests and the home itself. We take privacy seriously and always strive to maintain a respectful and comfortable environment.
Each lake house has its own private outdoor spaces, and the additional open area between the homes is available for guests to enjoy if they choose to—but it’s by no means required or shared unless desired.
We appreciate your feedback and will continue to improve how we communicate the layout so guests feel fully informed before they arrive. Thank you again for staying with us!
