Wonderful property! Perfect for a family. Deer all around. Cleanest property you’ll find! Plus there are 2 more houses next to this one for rent from the same owners. Would be a great option if traveling with a group of other families/friends

Great scenic location! Saw several deer each day. Friendly neighbors. Had everything we needed for a long weekend! The beach would be a pretty long walk but several beaches just a short drive away. Highly recommend!!!

This property is beautiful. The details in description are on point and the house is very spacious. Loved the gas stove that we used for breakfast every morning. Comfy beds and towels. The house is down a quiet road and we saw a deer family every morning and evening. Other than the occasional Amtrak horn nearby, it was a very pleasant stay. The beaches are great. We hope to come back again.

Home was newish, clean and attractive with good room for a family. Stocked with basic spices and kitchen wares for easy stay. I do wish we'd of brought a bike to make getting to the beach a bit easier after we dropped off our beach gear. There is no vehicle parking at the close by private beach spots. We had a great week and will be back!

This house was perfect for our girls get away. It was very comfy and spacious and is close to the wineries and other towns around the lake. Would highly recommend it for a stay. It’s private and it is just as described. Loved the house and all the amenities and the great communication.

Beautiful new home that was perfect for our stay for almost a week. Location is great - 5-min drive into town - and the screened in patio and grill were ideal. Beds were super comfortable and both bathrooms were roomy and well stocked.Occasional deer prancing around the property were charming and lovely. One caveat is to bring your own shower supplies - body wash, shampoo, etc - but other than that we had everything we needed here and would recommend it to anyone. Neighbors were friendly and it’s walkable to Stop 50 Pizza which was awesome.

Sorry it’s nothing that we’ve ever supplied. It’s hard to determine what your preference. And people have allergies. It’s just that something that we are not going to supply. We will notify people that it’s not in the units. There is hand soap in all the bathrooms and kitchen.
