The house was lovely with good space. However while listed pet friendly it was not pet safe for our puppy who puts things in his mouth. The driveway stones, rocks on property, and sticks on lawn meant we could not have our puppy outside.

This house was the perfect size for our family and absolutely exceeded expectations!

Property was very nice and set up well. A lot of kitchen utensils and well stocked. Beds were very comfortable. Our only concern was there was no real hot water. It was hot for about 1-2 minutes and then went to luke warm. 2 different people were sent out and determined the hot water heater was just not working. No ones fault just one of those things that happens. Over all the property was very nice.

End of Summer Great Memories.

Great place with a home feeling. Enough space for all but special touch feels cozy. Extra towels, coffee and tea via Kuerig. Cable and the most comfortable bed and pillows. Topped off with nearby Lake and hammock in front to view deers. Great place to create memories for a lifetime.

The Rental coordinator Brittany was very responsive and helpful through the process. The house has sleeping space for about 8 people but the kitchen area is very small so groups of more than 4 people might not do better in a larger house. The house was clean and well furnished. I would stay there again.

Could not have been better

Exactly as described. All amenities were in perfect condition. Super comfy and clean. Beds were fantastic. Would definitely recommend this property to a friend or family member to stay, loved that it was just the right size for a couple kids upstairs in the loft and two separate bedrooms downstairs for the adults. Don’t hesitate to book!

Confortable chalet minutes walking to the lake

My family and I had a great time in this house. The beds are very comfortable the kitchen is fully equipped. The BBQ and the fire pit outside is a plus. Located just minutes walking or by car from the lake is a very good place to stay. I Can tell the owners put attention to the details. I’ll just add a little effort to the cleaning company to make it better the bathrooms were not 100% clean. But the rest was all perfect. Thank you for the hospitality.

Surprise Beauty

Just had to share this beauty! The inside of this beautiful cabin is fresh and modern! Upon entering I felt like I was at a 5 star hotel! It was very clean and well put together! It had enough room to sleep 8 comfortably and the kitchen and bathrooms are both beautiful with upgraded appliances etc! I can’t say enough about how clean it was- it looked like a 5 star hotel! If your looking somewhere to stay that’s in a beautiful place but has the amenities of home- this is definitely it!😝

Lovely fall getaway

My family of 5 really enjoyed this property for our weekend trip. The house was extremely clean! We were very impressed with the layout and decor. The beds and pillows were all very comfortable. Blankets and comforters were soft and cozy on a chilly fall weekend. My teenage girls loved the hammock on the property which they could see the lake from. We stayed just as the leaves were starting to change so it was beautiful! Booking and key access was super easy. You do have to take your own trash to the dumpster but it was a very short drive and a super easy process. We definitely recommend this place and hope to stay again!!
