This was the perfect place for a weekend girls' getaway. Comfortable beds, three bathrooms, well-appointed kitchen, great spots for visiting, games, etc.
This property was perfectly fitted out and comfortable. We were there in the bitterest of winter so our grandsons could snowboard Trollhaugen (half hour away) but could tell how great it would be in the summer—right on the lake where folks were ice fishing. Very enjoyable.
Everything was perfect.The arcade games, paddle boat, and kayaks! Great yard for games. Plenty of space. Comfortable mattresses and pillows. Responsive host. We’re coming back next year! Thank you!
We had a great week at Blake Lake! The house had plenty of room, and came with great kid amenities which helped on a few rainy days. Well equipped for our family to cook all week, and a perfect yard for games. Kids had great fishing from the dock/yard. Hosts provided great information for the house and were very helpful and communicative when we had questions. 10/10 would recommend and return!
