We highly recommend this cute and clean stay! The host's responses to questions leading up to our visit and during our stay were fast and friendly. Check-in was seamless and the house is conveniently located. The yard is fantastic for hanging out by the firepit, or playing the large variety of yard games provided. The interior decor is super cute too. We slept soooo good in the comfy beds! Again, we would recommend this stay, especially for families and people traveling with dogs! Oh, but bring your own coffee k-pods and basic cooking supplies (salt, sugar, oil) none were provided.

While this property was clean and cutely decorated the hosts took creative liberties with the description of the property. They describe it having beautiful views of the lake, which it did, across a four-lane highway. The picture they use was cropped so that you can't see the road. The host described the property as just steps from the water, which it is, across a four-lane highway. And even if you crossed that four-lane highway, you were on private property and could not go to the water. To get to the water you had to drive down the road five miles the beach.Had I known it was right on four lane highway I would not have rented it as I took my one-year-old grandson with me and all he wanted to do was run to the road to see the cars. I ended up leaving early because it was just too stressful having him cry all the time because we kept telling him no he can't go see the cars.
