Lovely lakefront place on a quiet clean lake! Plenty of space for our family of 3 adults and 3 kiddos for a whole week. We spent most of our time on the breezeway when not in the water. Everything was clean, plenty of family games, plenty of lounge space for everyone. Enjoyed our time here!

Great house!

It’s clear a lot of thought went into setting up this house to make it easy for renters. Everything you need is there, and the house and views are as great as the pictures look. Our group of six friends had all the space we needed, but the porch off the kitchen became our spot to hang out all weekend. Had the weather been a bit better we probably would have been on the adjacent deck. There are so many options and they are all terrific.

Beautiful Stay

We really enjoyed our stay! The view from the upstairs porch is second to none! We also enjoyed the downstairs porch, which helped us avoid bugs, not that there were very many. There are a lot of stairs down to the lake, but we still spent two afternoons floating on the lake, and thought it was well worth the effort.

Summer retreat

Enjoyed our stay. Plenty of room for the 6 of us. Cabin was exactly as described and CLEAN!! Too many times in the past we find that even though a cleaning fee is charged after each rental we still have to spend some time cleaning but not the case at this cabin. Also the cabin is adequately supplied with everything you need for a great stay.

It was a lovely setting with gorgeous views of the lake. I wish I had had a moreclear understanding of how high up the house was. It is difficult for those of us in our 70s or even our 60s to go up-and-down 80 plus stairs to get to the water. I also wish I had known that there was no access to the water, unless you were willing to walk over big rocks. A ladder at the end of the dock to let you ease into the water would have been helpful.

This was our second time staying here and we will be back! Such an accommodating cabin. The views of the lake are beautiful, so serene and quiet.It’s immaculately, clean and stashed with anything we could possibly need. There are drawers with board games.The sunroom is a perfect spot to play games and read as a family. The basement ping pong table and dart board are an added bonus. Greta is a wonderful host and we can’t wait to be back!

Could be more comfortable

Our family of 6 stayed here over Labor Day weekend. Pros: spectacular views, many amenities (eg games and kitchen tools), and enough square footage. Cons: no room for pantry storage / food, dirty grill tools, uncomfortable mattresses (eg the blow up one had a hole / deflated), loud fans, poor air circulation. We were happy enough, but got the sense that the owners don’t stay here to experience what their guests experience.

Beautiful Lake Views

The home was nicely updated, clean and Well stocked with everything needed for our stay. The owner, Greta, was very responsive and great to work with. There was plenty of room for our family of 5 which includes a 16 year old and two 10 year olds. There is a ping pong table and foosball table downstairs that was a nice touch for the kids. We all loved the 3 season porch and spent most of our time there. The views of the lake were amazing! The stairs to the dock are quite long and steep...which was not a problem for our family...just something to be aware of. The only feedback I have to make this amazing property even better is to consider a different mattress for the master bedroom as it was a bit uncomfortable compared to what we have experienced in other properties we have stayed at. Overall, great place!! We would definitely recommend to others.

Family friendly summer spot

My family rented this property for a few nights to catch up with my brother and his kids. All the kids (ages 10-15) had a blast on the floating oasis down at the lake. Such a lovely home with a fantastic view of Round Lake. We were all in agreement that we wanted to stay longer.

Wonderful summer vacation for the fit.

The lake is wonderful. Big, crystal clear, warm. Plenty fish but you have to find them. I did. The property is on point. Clean, comfortable, and with a beatiful view like described in the listing. What is not memtioned (or we may have missed it) that it takes over 80 steps to get down to the lake amd yes, back up. We're pretty fiit and it was challenging a few times daily. Our elderly parent however, made it down only once. Otjerwise highly recommended.
