Nice and quiet
Very nice neighborhood, and clean.
Very close to lake, but no view in spring/summer. No issues at all. Dinner at Holy Taco was great, just down the road.
Would definitely go back.

Clean and efficient
Really nice place. Reasonably priced, suited our family well as we were in town to celebrate a wedding at the beautiful Waterstone Venue nearby (about 12 minutes away).
Kitchen is spacious and stocked with all the dishes and cookware one would need to prepare most basic meals. 4 person dining table.
Nice couches in living room area, and tv (with soundbar and most streaming services) with wifi included. Well lit, plenty of windows. Pullout couch bed setup was a bit older, but we purchased a foam mattress topper (left it there for anyone who wants to use it!) and some sheets at Walmart for a quick and cheap upgrade that worked. Pullout couches are a crapshoot anywhere you go!
Powder room with mirror off the LR area.
One bedroom had a single bed, with a desk and a mirror. The master had a comfortable queen with a huge master bath. 3 vanities and large walk in shower. Our family was able to get ready for the wedding and accompanying events without a hitch.
Beautiful wrap around deck for drinking our morning coffee. Did not notice any central HVAC. Has a wall unit, but I'm not sure how effective it would be in extreme cold or heat.
Very nice property. Had all the things we needed to make a special weekend for our family.

Perfect size cabin for couples. The house was as described, but the outdoor pics don’t do it justice. It was adorable. Very clean and had all the comforts of home. Nice neighborhood and surrounding area. Pet friendly too!

Inaccurate Listing
I was very disappointed as the two main things listed in the description were a huge let down. First the lake view was blocked by the leaves on the trees. If you wanted to see the lake, you had to drive or walk down the steep driveway and the steep road. It’s obvious the view is seasonal only. The fire pit was also a struggle. We had to go on a scavenger hunt and search everywhere to locate the lighter that was in the cupboard under the sink buried under cleaning supplies. We had enough wood for one night. The wood rack was completely empty. Owner should list that wood is not included. That way you don’t have to waste your vacation trying to find fire wood. I was surprised there is no toaster in the kitchen. The microwave was small and dirty. A frying pan in the kitchen was scorched black, I tried cleaning it but I had to go buy a decent scrubber and still couldn’t get it clean. . There were many battery operated lights and tea lights that did not work. The cute vanity was inoperable I’m guessing it was also battery operated. The main bedroom was missing a bi fold closet door?? AND you have to be over 5’9” to even reach the hand held shower or adjust the settings. The powder room door did not lock properly. I had such high hopes and I am just not sure it was worth the what I paid. So buyer beware, I really thought at that price I was getting a much nicer home. On the plus side the bathroom was very large and seeing the deer at night was very relaxing.
