What a fantastic stay! It’s close to everything but secluded enough to relax and unwind. The hosts were great. Communication was excellent. We enjoyed dinner on the deck and relaxing while overlooking the water afterwards. If you’re looking for some R&R, this place won’t disappoint!

Stayed with some friends for a couple nights. Launched a boat in the lake and kept it docked all weekend. Kitchen was fully stocked including appliances (air fryer, toaster, toaster oven). Plenty of parking out front. Very clear instructions and quick communication. Only 5 minutes from MIS. 10 minutes from downtown Brooklyn. Perfect stay!
