    Beautiful lake views
    The lake views were beautiful and so nice that it was pet friendly. It was very clean and the decor was top notch. The little extras from the owners were a lovely touch. If you bring pets, be aware there is only a spiral staircase to the lower level and the green space is steeply graded. My pet could not navigate the stairs inside so we had to use the outside stairs which do not have lights for nighttime.

    Perfect stay
    Everything was great from the moment we booked the house. Had great communication with the owner house was beautiful and very clean. There was a beautiful view of the lake. There was plenty of room for the family couldn’t have asked for more. She even had snacks for the dog and the kids turned out great but highly recommend again and for friends and family. We would definitely rent this house again, hands-down.

    Lovely lake house!
    Beautifully appointed with everything you’d need (except a hair dryer if you use one but that’s normal). What a wonderfully peaceful place to stay…I enjoyed a quiet cup of coffee on the upstairs deck with the sun keeping me warm on a seasonal December day. My husband and 12 year old enjoyed a few games of darts the night before-lots of board games too, to keep you entertained during the off lake season. Comfortable beds and lots of attention to detail-it was like staying with family (but only if your family is not around and not annoying like mine :)

    Lake House
    The lake house was beautifully decorated and smelled like Christmas walking through the door. Everything was clean & had anything you needed for a weekend stay. It was so comfy & cozy that I booked another day! Will rent again!!
