The tiny house was exactly as pictured. A lot of love and hard work went into it. My neice was having a wedding party at a house on the lake and we were having trouble finding a pet friendly place that wasn’t a five bedroom house. The tiny house was perfect!

Super clean inside and had everything we needed. Loved no TV-- less distractions and more family time. The lake water is the cleanest we have ever seen. Very quiet road. The stairs down to the water are a bit of a steep trek, it was fine for us but would have been hard with smaller kids or older adults. Overall a great stay, and great quick communication from the hosts.

Helpful host, amazing dock, and super efficient use of space in the tiny home. The terrain to get down to the dock is rough, but totally worth it. Phone signal is minimal at best until you get hooked up to the wifi (which is very good) so don't make the mistake I made and forget to ask the host for the access code and instructions to turn on the water until you get there. There is an RV owned by the host right next to the tiny home that can't be seen in the listing. The host was super kind and offered to let us use his fire pit and was immediate with responses when we had an issue with ants. We really enjoyed our stay, and the home had everything we needed except a hairdryer and cleaning supplies. The down sides were the ants, ladybugs, and pet hair on the rug, furniture and dinnerware. We would stay again, but would bring some cleaning supplies with us next time just in case.

Ok! This spot is awesome! We have stayed in a lot of places on the lake but this place was just special! We usually have a big group but it was my husband and myself. It was super clean and had everything needed. Cozy bed! Thought the ladder was going to be difficult as we are in our 50’s but wasn’t at all! Layout is awesome! Downstairs sofa is cozy too! The walk down to the dock was easy breezy far better than others! The water was pristine and in a cove so not the big boat noise. Best of all were the hosts were incredibly friendly and very well prepared! Must stay!

About the host

Hosted by Eric Baillargeon

Host profile image
This place is a labor of love for us. When we bought it, the land was overgrown and unusable. The three of us have worked our tails off to get it to where it is now. We are excited to share "Casa B" with you and we look forward to your comments.

What makes this property unique

The house sits on the hill overlooking the lake. The boat dock has our boat in it but you are welcome to use the dock and can tie your boat up for your stay. Our camper is also parked here and we may or may not be here.
