Great Nature Getaway

The property was a great place for my family (3 young kids and 2 grandparents) to have a quick weekend getaway. We loved the fall colors over the lake and hiking locations close by were phenomenal. We hope to return in the summer because I imagine the lake is even more magical then.

This property had everything we needed plus more! We really enjoyed the fire pit by the lake. The lake cove was quiet and serene. The house was very clean and the bathrooms and kitchen were stocked with soap, towels, shampoo, pots, pans, and all manner of dishes and utensils. The WiFi was great and the TV’s were all up to date. Our group of 9 loved the vibe!

My family and I enjoyed thanksgiving in this beautiful home. The weather was colder than we had wanted but that didn't stop us. The kids enjoyed basketball outside, cornhole and ping pong downstairs. While the adults enjoyed the upstairs, great food, unexpectedly good football and family. Thank you for the great family memories!!

House is updated and spacious enough for 3 families to stay comfortably. Also very well stocked!

There were 3 families in our group and we were all able to spread out and have our own space. The house had every amenity we needed and the view of the lake is beautiful. The owners were great to work with - would definitely rent this home again!
