The Oar House was enjoyable. Everything was thought of to make our stay enjoyable. We loved the coffee bar and the screened in porch. The decor is adorable and the setting is very relaxing.

This is the second time we have stayed at The Oarhouse and would highly recommend it. Everything was clean and well-cared for. We appreciated the extra bedding and towels as well as the washer and dryer. We found the kitchen to be well stocked with all the basic supplies. If you need anything else there is a grocery store in nearby Coalport. Our family members who slept in the loft said the mattresses could use upgraded as they caused them some hip and back discomfort. Understandably, this is also somewhat of a personal preference and others may find them satisfactory. Overall, we enjoyed our stay and look forward to visiting The Oarhouse in the future.

Absolutely fabulous! We loved our stay at Oar House. The amenities were excellent; air con, kitchen fully stocked with utensils, large fridge/freezer, coffee maker (pod or filter), ample towels & bedding to name a few. Its a great location for venturing out to the nearby state parks and other attractions, so all in all we had a great time. Thanks Andy, for sharing your property with us and it was also great to meet your dad; such a lovely guy!

The cabin was just perfect for our fishing and kayaking trip. It was clean and well stocked with towels, shower supplies, laundry soap and even coffee. I never knew we could stay so close to the lake that I went to every summer growing up that has such cherished memories for me. We will be going back!

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).

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!!
