Great stay, only thing would be to provide some kindling upstairs with the firewood. Excellent place to stay

Response from VrboOwner on 19 Jul, 2026
Thank you for your review, we're glad you enjoyed your stay. Thank you for mentioning the kindling, there should have been some in the firewood basket but we obviously missed it. Hopefully you found the pile in the firewood shed alongside the house.

This Bach is perfect for families with an upstairs and downstairs living areas and bedrooms. Parents slept upstairs and teenagers downstairs. The property was very clean and has views of the lake from the back deck and main living room. Internet was super fast. Would be great if the tv had the latest streaming apps or a selection of dvd and games was provided.
