My husband and I stayed here for 4 days in late May. We were very impressed with the cleanliness of the home and how updated the decor was inside (the mattresses were really comfortable!). Both bathrooms were very roomy! The outside of the house could use some updating and maybe some kind of landscaping, as it’s a big property with a lot of potential. There is a nice outdoor firepit area with chairs, as well as a comfortable back porch and a small balcony off the master bedroom upstairs. The kitchen had everything we needed for cooking, and even had a hand mixer so I could make a cake! The neighborhood was nice and quiet, and the owners were very responsive and helpful when I contacted them with questions. We would definitely stay here again!

Nice place
The inside of the house was beautiful and stocked with everything we needed for our stay. The location is close to beautiful lakes, and close to the town. The owner made sure to check in with us to make sure we settled in well. They had a card, snacks, and some wine to greet us.
There was a couple of downsides to our stay. The place was not fully checked before we arrived. The previous guests spilled something on a chair and the floor, and didnt clean it up ( I did). They left a window open and another one unlocked. They also left beer cans under the back porch. The place did get scary at night due to lack of curtains on the windows and the glass door. My kids were so scared that they slept upstairs instead of downstairs like originally planned. To make them and myself feel somewhat safe, I put chairs in front of the door, including the one that lead from the garage into the house. I did this because there was an opening on the side of the house that lead into the basement. It would be easy for someone to get into the house through it. As beautiful as the house was, we just didn't feel fully safe staying there since it was just me with my children. There was also some alarm or something that went off at 6 in the morning. I had no idea what it was or where it was coming from.
iniwell. We well.

Luxury in the pines
The inside of the home is decorated beautifully, updated, and very nice. It is in a quiet neighborhood and we had very comfortable beds.
There is a fire pit area outside. You can have a fire if you want or just walk around the surrounding area.
The location was nearby other things so that was great.

Great getaway
This home is beautiful and my family really enjoyed our stay. The lake is only a few minutes away but if just want to relax and drink coffee on the balcony this is the place to do it. Thank you for the unforgettable trip Don! My oldest (7 yr old) gave this trip a 14/10.

Great, cozy place!
We loved our stay at this home! The views are amazing and the home is very clean with everything you need. A nice big kitchen and dining table. Love all the windows! There is a big TV downstairs and in the upstairs bedroom. There are three beautiful patios to enjoy the outdoors, including one right off the upstairs bedroom. Very private property with an acre of land and outside seating with a fire pit. We enjoyed a small fire and making s’mores. They even have it decorated for Christmas with a gorgeous tree and had several board games. Feels like home away from home. We can hardly wait to come again! Compliments to the host who made our stay perfect and stayed in close communication.
