Lovely place to relax/enjoy nature and it was close enough to my husband's home town that we were able to see all of our family while in town. Overall would highly recommend and plan to stay here again in the future.

Great place to stay when visiting family

I stayed at the Oar House to visit my family. It was a perfect location for me to work remotely peacefully and also spend time with my family. My parents stayed one night and it was the perfect "hang out".

Relaxing Getaway in the Woods

Our family enjoyed a long weekend at the Oarhouse. The house was beautiful and the location was perfect for enjoying various activities around the lake. We also loved the outdoor fire area at night and deck was the perfect place to sip coffee and listen to the birds in the morning!!

Great Get-Away!

Located a few miles from our family cabin, I'm so thankful I found the Oar House for the weekends when a LOT of family is up at the cabin! It was a great place for my kids and I to stay. I had trouble with the keypad, but the owner was able to unlock the door remotely, and then I used the key for the front door the rest of the time. The beds were comfortable and that shower head was AMAZING! I will be checking for availability here in the future when we need an overflow place to stay when the family comes to the cabin!
