Enjoyed our stay! Great for dog owners. House was well stoked and loved how everything was labeled. Back porch was nice and big to relax w dog and the gated areas helped to keep dog contained. Nice neighborhood and wide cove so wasn’t super busy on the waterfront. Able to dock boat at house was nice too. Would definitely go back. First time to LKG.

The home was warm and welcoming. The 7 of us had a wonderful time. The kitchen was very well stocked with very good quality cooking and serving dishes and utensils. Our Yorkie poo was at home in her own bed and truly enjoyed the small dog treats at the front door. The view each morning was the start to a very relaxing day. The welcoming basket was a sweet touch. Would definitely stay there again.

What a wonderful stay! A beautiful home in a lovely, wooded, centrally located neighborhood on a protected cove. Communication with the host was timely, accurate, and friendly. We appreciated the clearly posted rules, labeled light switches, and labeled shelves that made finding and putting dishes away easy. Both inside and outside locations had plenty of seating for relaxing and meals. The many noodles and floats and a stand-up paddle board provided hours of entertainment.The property was set up intelligently and generously for dogs with plenty of bowls, gates, leashes, a crate, and shady spots. Our usually anxious pup was very relaxed.We were charmed by the welcome package the hosts provided with both human and pup snacks and goodies in a beautifully embroidered tote. The tote saw use every day as we traipsed back and forth between the house and dock.We will definitely rent this delightful property again!
