The private backyard truly shines in the off-season. Relax in the steaming hot tub, cozy up around the fire pit, or grill a hearty meal while enjoying the quiet and calm of the lakeside atmosphere.

This was our second stay and it did not disappoint! The welcome basket was so sweet and she always leaves bowls out for our service dog. The place is clean and welcoming. We didn’t have time to use the hot tub but last time it was great! Deborah responded immediately to messages. I can’t say enough good about or experience. Lake view is wonderful and we walked down to the lake our first night there. Truly a blessing.

The host provided welcome treats for us and a toy for our dog. We felt very welcome. We had all the supplies we would ever need as well as robes for using the spa. The spa was warm and ready for us, no warm up time needed which normally can take many hours. Temperature controls worked great.

The quaint place was just as described. Very well kept with nice appointments. The location was perfect for us. It has a beautiful view of the lake across the road. The weather wasn’t conducive to try the hot tub. Next time! Deborah was the PERFECT host. She answered all communications in a timely matter. And, meeting her was a pleasure. I would highly recommend.
