Wow!

Our entire group thoroughly enjoyed out stay at the lakefront property. The property was gorgeous, the view upon arrival was scenic, the kitchen/house was stocked with everythin you need, perfect for a ladies getaway. THE ONLY THING I would keep in mind for future guests is the entrance; the road-to-driveway transition IS SCARY, very steep and very tight. We had two SUVs in our party so we did have room, but it was still scary parking and leaving everytime. That being said, I would come back. Plus my post-stay interaction after leaving a pillow (my bad) was very patient and kind, so that was a .

Quick family getaway

The house was super cute and well stocked, with beautiful views. The downside is that the property is on a hillside and is very steep. People with mobility impairment will have a hard time getting to the dock and back. Also the structure walls ceiling and floor are made of wood so noise travels through the house. The property is super close to the Ark Encounter and we enjoyed watching geese and ducks from the decks. Nearly every day when we left we saw deer and turkeys near the road.

Best trip ever!

We enjoyed the lake house and neighbors are so nice! In the other reviews it talks about the drive way being way to steep but we came in at night and it did seem a little steep but when we woke up and saw all the other drive ways ours is just perfect! The place was nice and clean and we enjoyed watching the lightning storm from the deck!

Weekend get a way

We had a wonderful weekend, but felt like for the money we could not give this a 5 star. There were many stink bugs as well as debris found on the floor and kitchen counters and an odd smell coming from the kitchen sink. There is no sound barrier in the home and made it difficult with having a sleeping baby. The drive to ark was Convenient and the view was pretty on the water.

Beautiful views inside and out

We had a great weekend getaway with a beautiful view at this lakefront property! We were only minutes away from the Ark Encounter and only 45 minutes from the Newport Aquarium. This lakefront home has floor to ceiling windows overlooking the lake with comfortable outdoor furniture, grill, firepit and even kayak access from their dock. You have a large upstairs bedroom with 2 large beds, 2 bedrooms on the main floor (one with bunkbeds & trundle, and the other with a queen) and a queen bedroom on the bottom level. The house has 2 large bathrooms, a comfy living area with fireplace and tv, and a kitchen stocked with all you need. The bottom level also has a daybed, video game machine, foosball table and plenty of toys to keep little ones busy. The downstairs porch also has a cute little swing for the kids. The house is modern, clean and comfortable with a gorgeous view! The homeowner was easy to reach by text and took care of all our needs. I would definitely recommend this gem! I would like to lastly mention that many of the reviews complain about the driveway, and yes, the driveway is steep, but all the driveways on this lake look to have steep drives. The owners are very helpful in recommending how to approach their driveway and we had no issues. I would not let the driveway scare you away from this lake home.

This property was fantastic. The road and driveway are slightly difficult to navigate but our group did just fine driving a mini van as well as a 12 passenger van. The home had everything we needed. The dock and kayaks were a hit with the kids!

Sisters Trip to Ark

It was extremely difficult to find the house in the dark. There was no sign, mailbox or light. The driveway was difficult to turn into and very steep. If we had known how scary the driveway was we would have not rented the house. Having said that the views were very good from the house. One bed downstairs was small and no way to cover windows. Every step we took on the main floor was heard downstairs. The house was clean and spacious.

Quiet house on the lake

This house was perfect for our group of 7 family members. The house was very clean and well furnished. We visited the Ark nearby and enjoyed coming home to the scenic outdoor porch after our long days. Our kids loved the games downstairs and the bunkroom. The kitchen was well stocked. The only disappointment was the entry and parking situation. The road was not paved and the driveway was tricky to enter. One day we showed up and the road was blocked by workers at a nearby build. It looks like the road will eventually be paved and the nearby houses will be built.

Family Getaway!

The pictures are exactly what you get! Beautiful open space and a lovely view! The kitchen was well stocked with dishes and small appliances, the heater on the deck was nice as we had a cold snap over the weekend. The kayaks made for a fun afternoon for our young people and the foosball table definitely brought out the competition in the family! There is even an integrated sound system that you can play music in the living space or on the deck - super nice touch and fun! We read about the driveway, so we were prepared. We did not have any troubles in our small SUV and my parents in their truck. We both parked in the drive near the house. Definitely lots of room to spread out and enjoy! We visited the Ark Encounter and the timing was perfect - we did not wait in a single line and the drive was super short. We had a great time!
