Beautiful view

Overall I rate this stay 4.5/5 stars. The property was nice and the owner was easy to communicate with, but the only issue I had was the fact that you can only have bed sheets and towels if you spend an extra 75 and request them. I just feel if I am coming to stay in a house somewhere, I shouldn’t have to pay extra to have sheets and towels. Other than that it was a great stay!

Wonderful weekend.

This was our second time here and we love it. Beautiful views, comfortable, and as clean as you could ask for. If you're lucky enough to get a rainy day in the sun room it's heaven.

Relaxing Family getaway

This was our 4th year here and our family thoroughly enjoys staying here. The calmness of water and perfect sandy beach for small kids, playroom, great fishing, nice big table for family meals. I love being right on lake so we can pop in and out of house as necessary no driving required. Sue the host is always wonderful and her communication is great.

Great waterfront property

The property was very clean and well maintained. The kitchen has everything you could possibly need. So quiet and peaceful, at times we felt like we were the only ones at the lake. A beautiful spot to get away from it all. The only drawback is that you have to eventually return home :)

Favorite rental house

Sue is very easy to communicate with. The property and house are spacious and enjoyable. If you have little ones, the playroom is AMAZING. And for the adults, the screen room looking at the lake is perferct for quiet time. We've been renting summer houses for 15 years and this is one of our favs.

Beautiful and comfortable.

Loved every second that I spent here. The screened in porch was my favorite part the chairs were so comfy! The outdoor space was peaceful and safe. I felt at complete ease the whole trip. It was just my bf and I but I would love to bring my kids here sometime as well. The kitchen had everything I needed to cook. Instructions for everything was well communicated. Even a note next to the windows on how to open them and it was so helpful! I really hope I get to stay here again. Just absolutely beautiful home and property.

Wonderful lakeside getaway

We’ve stayed here 3x now and have enjoyed each stay. Sue is a wonderful host, accommodating and seamless communication. The house has been perfect for our family with small kids. The Sandy beach access is great swimming and play for whole family. We had great success fishing as well. The house has everything you need and is clean and spacious.

Perfect cottage for a family with small children

This home was perfect for us and my cousin’s family. We had two 2 year olds with us who loved that the house was well stocked with toys. The kitchen was equipped with everything you could need for a vacation house. The lake access was perfect for small children and boats. We had a fantastic visit and hope to come next year!

Beautiful weekend getaway

The property is beautiful and perfect for a weekend away. We loved sitting by the fire and chatting. The only small detail was that there were no towels. I anticipated there wouldn’t be bath towels as we opted to bring our own linens, but didn’t expect that to extend to hand and dish towels as well, just a small heads up for others to note.

Great relaxation

This is our third time staying here and we absolutely love the place and location. There was great fishing and kayaking for me. This time I was recuperating from two surgeries, and can think of no other place. I wanted to recuperate then in the sunroom, reading a book overlooking the water we will definitely be back. I can’t wait till I can get into the water and kayak again. She was very easy to get a hold of the police was very clean and had what we needed.

Lovely grandma's cottage with amazing backyard

This property was everything we were looking for for a family getaway. The interior has a cute grandma's cottage vibe, and the kitchen is well-equipped with all the tools for cooking and grilling. However, the phenomenal outdoor space is what really shines here. The lake is easy for kids, easy to kayak on, and offers beautiful sunrises. Host is a lovely family that was very reachable for all our needs. Toy room and water toys were a hit for our niece. For future travelers, the kitchen has basic spices and oils, but you need to bring your own coffee (drip or kcup). Bring your own toiletries, towels, and sheets. Enjoy! We had a lovely time and hope to go back!

Great lakeside spot for small kids!

We had a lovely time at Sue’s house. The sandy beach and beach toys were perfect for water play with little kids! And somehow the outdoor shower was about as entertaining as the lake. We really appreciated the pack & play and high chair for our little one. We talked a big game about watching a movie on VHS and never did, but enjoyed the nostalgia of looking through videos on shelves. Had a great time with the kayaks, also. Bonus: lots of loon sounds and sightings!
