Great lake getaway

Great location to relax and play in the water. Far enough out to provide a break from city life, but not too far away from anything you would need. Very clean and well appointed. Attentive and accommodating hosts.

Perfect Spot!

Even though the weather was less than ideal, we had a lovely vacation. The rain kept us indoors most of the time, so the game room ended up being a big hit for our (competitive) teenagers! Would love to come back next summer and spend more time outdoors on the water and evenings at the fire. The location of this home is perfect!

Overall great stay with excellent hosts! The lakefront was beautiful although our weather wasn’t the best for the time we were there. The use of the kayaks/paddle boards was an amazing bonus!!! The game room was fun and the adults used more than the kids!! Thank you Mary&John!

Had a great time, we were in town visiting friends and doing some catching up, excellent place to host a few friends and let the kids enjoy the kayaks and paddleboards. We had a rain day but the game room and garage set-up saved the day!! Cabin was as described and our hosts communication was great!
