Winter Family Getaway

Love the property. Great location close to 94. Amazing amenities. Our family of 12 had an awesome time playing games around the huge dining room table and having an epic ping pong tournament. Overall would highly recommend this property to others!

Lovely, cozy vibe. Kids enjoyed the ping pong table, bunks and a variety of the other board games in addition to the massive movie theater room. Plenty of towels and spacious for the family & friends to gather. No dishwasher wasn't a deal breaker as the kitchen sink was large and plenty of space to drip-dry items. Water was nice and HOT. Host was fast to reply & easy to communicate with. Stayed right after season's first snowfall, so can imaging how beautiful it would b in the height of summer season! There were even swans on the lake!

Good fit for 6 adults. We were in the area helping our kids move. Got about 9 inches of snow while we were there so we made good use of the movie room, games and ping pong table. Loved being able to see both a sunrise and sunset over the lakes.

Girls weekend

We had a girls weekend and stayed here. VERY clean. Comfortable beds. Would definitely come back again. It was chilly when there so we didn't get spend time out on the deck or use the fire pit. Would definitely return.

It is exactly as advertised --was clean, well-appointed and delightful to be at the firepit in the evening. The best part was the owner -- Jeremy was an excellent communicator. There were some hiccups in our reservation due to my mistake -- and he was very accommodating and easy to work with. I would stay here again!

Friends quality time

We all enjoyed this cabin on the lake. It was well-equipped. The kids loved the bunk room. Alot of space which worked well for our crew as room to play and visit but also well thought out for time together for meals and crafts. We will stay again if in the area. It did not matter to us, but for some it may, we did not have access to a washer/dryer and there is also no dishwasher. Again, we would stay given the location and other amenities in the house.

We had a wonderful stay at this property with our large family, ranging in age from 18 months to 80 years old! The home was clean, beautifully updated, and had plenty of space for everyone to relax and enjoy. The location couldn’t have been better—right on the lake with gorgeous views and easy access to the water.We especially loved using the kayaks and gathering around the fire pit in the evenings. It was the perfect setting for quality family time, and everyone—from the toddlers to the grandparents—had an amazing experience.A big thank you to Jeremy & Melody for being such great hosts. We’ll definitely be returning to this property for future family getaways!

The house was perfect for our family - 11 people (toddlers - adults). Check-in was easy, and Jeremy responded quickly to all questions. The kitchen was supplied with everything we needed to make our meals (nice pots/pans and utensils). The double oven was a bonus. The beds were comfortable. The kids loved the bunk beds. We enjoyed the large screen in the basement and comfy seating. We had a minor problem with the air conditioning not cooling the upstairs, but Jeremy had someone out right away to take care of it. We swam, fished, and enjoyed our 12 day stay!
