Beautiful home true to description. Very clean and very good communication with owners when needed. Game room was great and had a lot of different games to keep everyone busy. Truly remote location which brought peace and quiet. Restaurants are close especially loved 290 Maine. Great food and great staff. Would recommend this home to anyone looking for a Great Lake house experience.

This place is AMAZING
I truely can’t say enough good things about this place. The host was so responsive, every inch of the house was clean, extremely beautiful inside and outside. I couldn’t think of one thing that wasn’t there that I needed. This was such a special trip it I got engaged here and plan to return. Thanks for making our experience as great as it was. I look forward to our future stays here

The perfect lake house.
We can't say enough about this incredible property. It's definitely top-notch in every way. The view, the home, the amenities, working with the owner... it was all very thoughtful and well done. This new property is pristine and literally has everything you could need. Want to relax? Grab some tea and sit on one of the decks, sit by a fireplace, or spend time in the jacuzzi. Want to play? Hit the Loon Lounge or grab the canoe.
For the first time in any vacation in decades, my wife and I chose to skip going out to dinner every night so we could enjoy the views of the lake, sit by the cozy firepit, and play games. It really was a special experience and we will definitely be back.
