The home was beautiful and plenty of space. The hill down to the lake was a struggle. Thank goodness for the golf cart. The 3 dogs next door visit often. The boat traffic kept the fish from biting. Quiet and relaxing. Will stay again.

Charming lakeside retreat!
This property was everything we hoped for. It looked just like the pictures, was right on the water, and had all the amenities for a perfect home away from home: kayaks, water toys, full service kitchen with dishwasher, fire pit, even a golf cart! It was right on the lake, so water access from the dock was excellent. Nice quiet area. We even saw fireflies at dusk! Definitely recommend this for anyone looking to get away from it all.

Very Nice
The house was accurately advertised. The owner has provided lots of nice touches such as snacks, tons of Keurig pods, aluminum foil, spices, body washes, etc. There was even bacon, eggs, butter, orange juice, and coke in the fridge when we arrived (not sure if that was from the owner or the previous renters, but was so nice!). Getting from the house down to the dock and back might be a challenge for small children or elderly folks, which may be something for some folks to consider. We enjoyed the weekend.

Plenty of flatware & tableware. Robert left a few items to get you started including water, chips, coffee & oatmeal. Every spice you need is also there. Simple & easy booking procedure. Thanks for a hassle free stay.

Short business/ family trip
We loved staying at this cute home. The beds were comfortable with soft sheets and towels. Chips and water were there when we arrived, which the kids promptly found and devoured. The home is easy to find and the host provides great recommendations for the area. The giant bean bag was a hit with the kids as well. Would love to come back when the weather is a little warmer. Enjoyed sitting in the swing out on the dock, listening to the fish jump.

Great little lake house
We stayed here fr a long weekend. 7 of us total, 2 adults and 5 kids ages 4-13. The property was very clean and the hosts supplied everything we needed! Even snacks and some drinks in the fridge. The back porch and dock were great for everyone to enjoy. A perfect places to swim and fish but still close enough to go into town and explore the historic sites. Definitely the perfect family vacation house!

Can't Wait to Go Back!!!
This place was PERFECT!!! The space was great - perfect for family. Just enough space to be together but private space too. The amenities were great - lots of time spent on the decks doing absolutely nothing. A little kayaking. The location was great - close enough to go into town or get whatever you need, but also off-the-grid. The owners thought of everything - games, food, wine, charging stations for devices, loads of comfy seating. We really can't wait to go back - just longer next time!!!!

Wonderful time
We had a great time at this property! We especially loved the fireplace by the water, the swinging benches, and the beautiful lake view! A few things/recommendations to note: My family was very cautious using the stairs down to the lake…it’s very steep and has some rickety/old wooden steps - it’s especially dangerous at night because there’s limited lighting! Could be very easy to fall. Some family members mentioned one of the bedrooms had a “donut” bed. But otherwise, the rest of us slept well. We also thought more seating in the living room would’ve be nice as a family of 6 adults. We all couldn’t lounge in the living room together. So more seating would be nice. BUT, we really loved and appreciated the wine, chocolates, and stocked kitchen (I mean…eggs, milk, bacon, water bottles, oatmeal, chips, etc!) provided when we arrived. Karaoke machine was a fun touch. Communication with owner was awesome and they were willing to answer any questions we had. Overall, we would recommend to others, and would come back again in the summer when it’s warmer and we can kayak! :)

Super fun!
We stayed at the lake house with another family. We had tons of fun ! The accessibility to the lake for kayaking and swimming was great. The hosts provided kayaks, life vests games, karaoke machine, clean towels and more! The kids had a lot of fun playing in the arcade games and riding around on the golf carts was a plus. The deck was very relaxing and cooked dinner in the grill (provided) for several days. We had an amazing time!

Your every need will be met!
We spent a week with friends at this well appointed and clean lakeside home and absolutely loved it! We were four adults and four kids and there was plenty of space (and towels)! The owners have really thought of every detail in preparing the house for guests - fresh flowers, ample chargers, games, sparklers, fishing rods, kayaks, all toiletries, even two bottles of wine and a kitchen stocked with key staples and snacks. It was really above and beyond! The backyard porch area is a great place to hang out and down by the lake is a wonderful shaded spot with comfy chairs to hand out in and watch kids splashing in the water. There was even a rope swing! I couldn’t recommend this more for any kind of vacation. Did I mention it was also pet friendly? Our cat loved it too!
