This house was absolutely perfect for our family! We particularly loved the screened in porch to drink our coffee in the morning and then to sit outside after the kids went to sleep. Can’t wait to stay there again!

Amazing Stay & Home!

Absolutely amazing home and couldn't be more pleased with not only the view but also the host. Check-in was easy and they made sure we were perfectly comfortable throughout our stay! If we're back in the area there is no place else we'd stay! If I could rate more than 5* I would!

Great quiet location

The house was perfect for our family. It was clean and had a good view. We enjoyed watching osprey hunt and saw a bald eagle fly by a well as a host of other birds. Mark was very responsive to any questions and the house had everything we needed.

Fall Break Getaway

I just want to start out by saying that the pictures of this property don’t do it any justice. This was such a beautiful place to enjoy fall break with our children. It is so quiet and the people you do see are friendly. The property itself is something you would dream of for vacation. It is a little far from everything so if you are looking for that then this is the place for you! We enjoyed every bit of what was offered. We will definitely book again in the future!

My wife and my son enjoyed our stay very much, my son and I spent a lot of time on the dock fishing and the kayaks were used a lot, we traveled around sightseeing and only spent the mornings and late afternoons at the property but we really enjoyed the location, and of course the fishing and kayaking, my son also spent a lot of time swimming in the river, the house was comfortable and my son who is 15, really liked the upstairs bedroom, the house had a great layout and it would have been very easy to get used to the idea of staying another week but my wife and I had to get back to work, we will definitely keep that place in mind should we plan to stay in that area again, Mr. Mark was a very gracious host and was available anytime I had questions

Peaceful Home on the Lake

We very much enjoyed our stay. The home was clean and had most everything we needed. Although we needed just one more bed for our group, we still had comfortable sleeping on the couch. The morning sunset was beautiful. We also thank Mark for stopping by to check in on us, and to let us know if we needed anything. The binder in the house with all information about the home and the area was also very helpful. Thank you, we hope we can visit again.

Updated photographs of the lot should be provided. Three extended power outages - that’s in no way the host’s fault, but it does raise questions about the location.

John, I'm sorry about the power outages, but as you stated, that is totally out of my control. I don't understand the 3 star rating if the only issue was the power outage. The pictures do need updating, but again surely that is not a reason for a 3 rating. I hope you understand the importance of these ratings. We make every effort to provide a good experience for our guests. It would help if you could provide better feedback on any issues or problems so they could be addressed. We have never received this low of a rating on this house, so I would appreciate additional feedback on the issues.
