We had an absolute blast staying at Nyree and Brian’s house. The location and lake front were stunning. Our family had a great time. We can’t wait to come back!

If you are looking for a weekend or week to relax and enjoy lakefront living - this should be a stop! The owner was helpful and thoughtful. The layout was excellent and it’s better than the photos. Looked great on line - it was better in person!

Had a great time at the lake house. House was well done and the grounds were excellent. Beautiful spot on the lake. We brought our sons boat and we’re able to enjoy the lake all day. Brian and Nyree were very helpful with info on the lake and surrounding area. I definitely recommend choosing their property for your stay, you won’t be disappointed.

Thank you so much! We are so glad you enjoyed your stay as well as the property! Having a boat on the lake and a surely a game changer too!
We had a lovely weekend away. The house was clean and comfortable. The outdoor space was spectacular!
Beautiful flowers and a perfect spot to enjoy the lake. Well equipped with everything we could need. We only stayed 2 nights. We would have taken advantage of outdoor kitchen steps from the dock if we had stayed longer.
Our hosts were welcoming and we appreciated all of the info they provided about the surrounding area.
Would definitely recommend!

Thanks so much Ann. Hope to see you again!! Thanks for being fantastic guests!
The house is immaculately kept and spares no attention to detail. The owners are as helpful and communicative as you’ll ever find, and are truly good people on top of it all. To me, a lake house is a place that makes you want to spend all of your time near or in the lake, and this place fits that description perfectly. What a great place to unwind!

Thanks for the amazing review! We loved having you and your family and hope you will join us again!!
The attention to detail in this waterfront home was exceptional! We can’t say enough about the home. The owners communicated quickly. If you’re a bourbon or jack Daniels lover (Harley Davidson too) you will appreciate the family’s collections. Very clean home with all essentials and then some! We thoroughly enjoyed our visit!

The house was beautiful. I simply misunderstood the hard rule that my family and friends would not be able to visit.
As well, there is an invasion of privacy as the owners are on the property at all times, and enforcing their rules that I did not understand or expect. Families are families. Should be able to relax. No fault to both of us..just different expectations. Kicked out with a promise of a refund that has not been acknowledged.

Along with unauthorized guests we also do not condone underage drinking and underage marijuana use (or any drug use) at our property. We are also a no smoking property. As well we do not allow parties. The house was not left in good condition when you left because several items were messed with such as the heat which was set to 80. Too much to list off as you are probably already aware. I inquired with another host from the area who had very similar things to share about her experience with you staying at their property.
We had an absolutely wonderful stay at this stunning Candlewood Lake home. From the moment we walked in, we were impressed by the high-end touches everywhere- everything from the bowls to the electric garbage can felt thoughtfully chosen. Even the toilet seats were heated! The appliances were top-of-the-line, the light switches were clearly labeled, and the decor was beautiful and cohesive. Each morning, we loved having breakfast together as a family on the deck, soaking in the peaceful lake views. The grounds were beautifully maintained and landscaped, and the dock, with its tasteful lighting, created a magical evening atmosphere. The kids had a blast using their inflatable water toys, as well as all of the provided kayaks and stand-up kayak. We appreciated being able to borrow life preservers, and the detailed step-by-step instruction book made settling in easy and stress-free.It was also great to have a high-end TV with a Bose sound system, where every night the kids and I would watch a movie together as we unwound from a fun-filled day on the lake. While the kids needed to be mindful when crossing the road to the dock, the road was not busy and never noisy. We had such a special time here with both grandpa and the grandkids - paddleboarding, kayaking, fishing (the kids loved it!), and spending time on the boat out of nearby Echo Bay dock, where we enjoyed water skiing and surfing. The backyard hot tub was the perfect way to relax after our adventures.
My family and I loved staying at Brian’s home. Thoughtful touches throughout made our stay comfortable, and a sweet welcome basket. Top-notch hospitality. Morning coffee on the porch overlooking the lake was so peaceful. Kids loved swimming off the dock, and hanging out in the loft area. My husband enjoyed the gourmet kitchen!
Really, really clean... even behind-the-scenes things like the washing machine door and dryer lint trap were well-maintained. Labeled light switches (so helpful!), well-documented instructions made the house easy. Brian met me at check-in to walk me through and answer my questions. Prompt text correspondence.
Kids had to be careful crossing the busy road, but we didn’t find road noise an issue and we all slept well. A bit of a steep walk down to the water, but we didn’t mind getting our steps in. Life jackets and inflatable water toys that we could borrow!
Overall, a delightful stay, thank you again!

It was so nice meeting you and for having you as guests in our home. Thanks for taking such good care of our house and leaving it in amazing condition. Thank you also for doing some loads of laundry. :)
We loved our memorable trip to the lake at Brian and Nyree’s home. The house is immaculate, comfortable, and fully stocked with anything you could possibly need. The lakeside outdoor kitchen made meals especially fun, and we enjoyed the kayaks and stand up paddle boards as well as long swims in the clean and lovely lake. Our hosts were great communicators and offered many helpful tips. From my 13-year old son who can be a bit hard to please: “mom, this was such a great idea to come here.”

It always feels good to get a great review but yours really touched us. We are so glad everyone had a great memorable time! Thanks for taking such great care of our house as well. We hope to see you again!
Our family vacation at Brian and Nyree's beautiful lake house was wonderful. Recently updated home is very clean and has everything you need for lakeside living, including high end appliances both indoors and outside and a very thoughtful welcome basket. Our stay was comfortable and very enjoyable, loved starting the day with my morning coffee on the deck overlooking the beautiful lake. The kids enjoyed swimming in the lake and using the kayaks which included life jackets. Thank you Brain and Nyree for opening up your home to us!!!

Thank you so much! We appreciate the review and the great care that you took of our house. We are so glad you enjoyed your week at The Lake Cape. :)
This lake house had it all. Every creature comfort was waiting for you, from high end appliances and outdoor kitchen equipment, down to pots/pans and even phone chargers and wood for the fire pit. From the moment you arrive, you’re greeted by the awesome home owners (Brian/Nyree) with a welcome basket of goodies, plus they were also nice enough to leave a personal welcome card. Those little extra touches really describe the home owners and the attention to detail that you’ll notice, both inside the house and outside on the their beautiful waterfront area. We had an amazing time relaxing on this gorgeous property!

Thanks so much! We loved having you guys and hope to see you next year.
The homeowners are very friendly and accommodating people. Their house is warm and cozy and very well kept. If you’re looking for a lake house to rent that has everything to offer this is the house. Great view of the lake, outdoor dining with a view. Multiple grills they have to offer. Pizza oven, smoker. Gas fireplaces

Thank you so much. We enjoyed having you for the weekend!! You and your friends are welcome back anytime.
Our family had a amazing time at Brian and Nyree’s home! The private lake setup is really unique with every amenity you could possibly need - a full outdoor kitchen setup, fire pit, boat slip, paddle board, kayak and fishing equipment and several spaces to relax and enjoy (each with an umbrella to control the right amount of sun and shade). The house has a nice lake vibe and features all updated appliances. Brian made us feel super welcome, was quick to respond and very willing offer suggestions. We just booked another weekend!
