Great location, nice hosts
Great location and nice place overall. Probably sleeps 8 more comfortably than 10, but worked great for our family over the 4th of July! Great memories were had.

GREAT Location!
My husband and I stayed here with our 3 children for an early Christmas. The first thing we noticed was how clean and comfortable the house felt! There was more than enough room for all of us to spread out. Open floor plan on the main level was nice for relaxing, playing games and eating as a family. You cannot get a better location. We plan on coming back to stay here for the summer because of the location. It is a very short walk to the “strip” (multiple restaurants and bars), Arnolds Park Amusement Park and the beach. This is the ideal place to stay to be so close to the action yet not in a hotel! I would give this place 10 stars if I could. I just don’t think you could get a better location!

Great property for a lake getaway!
This house has everything you need for a nice getaway! The location was great and close to everything! Walking distance to restaurants, coffee shops and Arnold’s park. Communication with hosts was prompt and check-in/check-out was super easy! The house was very clean, spacious and has great views of the lake. The beds were super comfy and the kitchen was well stocked with all the essentials. The fireplace was a cozy place to gather around for card playing or watching TV. We will definitely be back to enjoy again!
