Great Get-Away!

Located a few miles from our family cabin, I'm so thankful I found the Oar House for the weekends when a LOT of family is up at the cabin! It was a great place for my kids and I to stay. I had trouble with the keypad, but the owner was able to unlock the door remotely, and then I used the key for the front door the rest of the time. The beds were comfortable and that shower head was AMAZING! I will be checking for availability here in the future when we need an overflow place to stay when the family comes to the cabin!

Enjoyable visit

We had a pleasant stay at the Oar House. The upstairs mattresses were harder than what we personally prefer (side sleepers complained of hip and shoulder pain) and couldn't get the remote on the Sleep Number mattress downstairs to work. I'm not sure if it was the remote or user error though. The drip pans on the stovetop burners were a little greasy (as were the utensils beside the stove from splatters), but everything else was very clean. The host definitely went the extra mile to provide all the little extras to make our stay as comfortable as possible. We loved the coffee bar and enjoyed the wooded view from the sunroom while sipping our morning coffee. We also enjoyed the wildlife prints and the cozy decor. The deck and fire ring areas were also lovely. I would definitely recommend this property..

Family vacation

The oar house was great and Andy was very kind and responsive. Note to those traveling with small children; the only room with a door is the master. The double beds in the loft are not the most comfortable for adults (but the master bed is).

Relaxing Getaway in the Woods

Our family enjoyed a long weekend at the Oarhouse. The house was beautiful and the location was perfect for enjoying various activities around the lake. We also loved the outdoor fire area at night and deck was the perfect place to sip coffee and listen to the birds in the morning!!

Cozy Cabin Convenient to the Lake

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay (again) at Oar House! The cabin has everything we needed for a relaxing time and is so convenient to Glendale Lake. We took our kayaks on the lake almost every day during our stay, and enjoyed the cozy convenience of the cabin as home base. We certainly plan to return for future stays. Thanks to our host for such a gem!
