This is a lovely and well-appointed home in a truly beautiful location.I kayaked around Star Lake almost every day and every day I saw (and heard) a family of loons up close. Our family also used the hosts’ “raft” several times to motor around the lake, and met folks whose families have owned homes on the lake for generations. The hosts, Luke and Meredith, were very communicative and accommodating and made sure we had everything we needed to get the most out of our stay.

Our group of 8 had a great time & enjoyed our stay. Had fun kayaking, fishing & hanging out down on the dock. Beautiful place with plenty of room for us all. Had everything we needed for our stay except had to buy more toilet paper. Also, could not find the lock box to check in. Other than that, everything was perfect.

Just simply wonderful. It was everything and more. Host was a A and very easy to work with. House was exactly as shown which is extremely rare. Very clean and not lacking a thing. Comfort with all the extras. Lake view was spectacular having coffee in the morning. Fire pit in the evening having s'mores with the kids. We have rented on this lake several times but this is by far the family's favorite place. Comfortable and very relaxing

Wonderful camp on Star Lake. The camp/house has plenty of room and all the amenities that you will ever need. The decor is perfect. The grandkids had a blast playing on the sandbar and exploring the lake on the kayaks. The hosts were super and responded to my inquire immediately. An incredible, unforgettable family vacation with our kids, grandkids and sister from Florida!! Thank you!

A little bit of heaven

We as a family had an amazing time at Star Lake. The home was spacious and welcoming and the description was spot on detailing how beautiful everything was. We were able to relax and enjoy all of the amenities. The motor raft was our daily enjoyment on the lake. Would definitely recommend highly and hope to go back soon.

Beautiful cabin and lake!

We loved our stay here. The house was very well-stocked with everything you could need to move in and start your vacation right away. Each bedroom had plenty of fans and sleeping spaces and there was plenty of room for our group of 9 to have their own space and gather. The view from the porch and the dock was spectacular and the raft was fun. The quiet cove was great for swimming. Amazing lake close to good hikes!

Family Vacation

We loved everything about this wonderful property! The covered front patio was a perfect spot to enjoy breakfast and coffee, even on a rainy day. The family room was a comfortable place to congregate and play games and puzzles, and the sunroom overlooking the lake offered a quiet space to read. The home is beautifully decorated and the small touches the hosts provided made us feel at home. It was a wonderful week spent at the lake!

Star Lake Celebration

Lovely home with lots of space to relax and socialize. Highlights of the house were the firepit, lake views, and fully equipped kitchen. Owners surprised us with bottles of champagne for our 60th birthday celebration. They were easy to work with during the booking process as well as while we were there. Star Lake is a hidden gem! It has a small-town feel with very friendly people.

Star Lake Getaway

Friends and I had a great week at Star Lake - my happy place! Kayaking, swimming, playing golf, hiking, and listening to the Loons calling to each other across the lake - what’s not to like?! Meredith and Luke’s place at 325 Lake Road was a perfect spot to relax with friends as we caught up and hung out. If you haven’t experienced Star Lake yet it’s time you did! It’s awesome!!

Family reunion at Star Lake

The house is beautiful and decorated in a nice rustic manor with plenty of room to relax. The view of the lake is wonderful and we spent many hours on the raft meeting family on the sand bar on the lake. The owners are very nice and communication with them was great. They replied quickly to any questions we had. The kitchen had everything you would need for cooking and eating. The grill was clean and the fire pit area is really nice. We look forward to staying at the Lodge on Star Lake in the future!

Beautiful location and beautiful home

We love to stay at this property! The communication with the owners and property manager was smooth. They were very accommodating to our scheduling challenges and we are very grateful for that. Everything you can dream of is supplied in the kitchen to make meals for a crowd. Games, deck, firepit, and fun on the water. We used the kayaks and did some hiking. Great location for that. Plenty of space for all 6 of us (4 young adults from 15-22), my husband and I and our dog. Thank you! Can't wait to visit again.

Lovely just what we expected

The property is full of charm. It is whimsical and eclectic and felt very homey. It suited our large family well. The various spaces throughout the home were all much enjoyed. I've rented several VRBO property's and this had the most well appointed kitchen of any. We cooked big meals everynight and didn't want for any tools, appliances, or dishwear. The lake is very nice. Communication with owner was very good. No complaints, we enjoyed our stay very much.

Starry Star Lake

I absolutely loved staying at this property. It’s the kind of house where everyone can go off and read or think about life without feeling like everyone is on top of everyone else. The dining room is super inviting and because of the rain, we had plenty of trivial pursuit and UNO games. Hosts are outstanding on communication sending texts immediately, and I had one question and picked up my call at once. All the outdoor activities are at your fingertips and staff at the nearby Circle K are so helpful. While I caught no fish, I had a wonderful week and I would wholeheartedly recommend this property and the hosts. 10/10

Found our Gem by the Lake

We found our Gem by the Lake. This Cabin was perfect for me and my family. From the access to the water to finding the exact measuring cup we needed for cooking, this camp had absolutely anything you needed for a comfortable and enjoyable vacation. Th fans in every room and all over the house were a personal favorite of mine. The kitchen had every bowl, knife, plate or accessory you would ever need, so don't worry about packing that. The house was immaculate as well. Make sure you rent the motorised raft as that is a must as we used it every day at the Sandbar! Hoping to rent next year.

We had such a wonderful week on Star Lake at Meredith and Luke's beautiful home. The lake is truly a hidden gem and their home is its own highlight. They have taken such care to decorate the home and equip it with everything you could possibly need to call it yours for the week. Each bedroom was so cozy, we all remarked on how comfortable and luxurious the beds felt. Not like your typical rental at all. We had everything we needed in the kitchen right down to a very impressive collection of tupperware for leftovers, something that vacation rentals often lack. Luke and Meredith were so kind and answered all of my questions promptly before and during our stay. They even left a personalized note and welcome gift for us at check-in including some stuffies for the two pups in our group. We also rented the motorized dock from them which was a huge plus for exploring the lake and spending time at it's famous sand bar. I cannot say enough nice things about Luke, Meredith and their home. We hope to be able to visit again as a family for many years to come.

Total Comfort at The Lodge

My family thoroughly enjoyed our stay at The Lodge in Star Lake. It was big, beautiful, clean, and well-equipped. In short, everything we could have hoped for. The house is very spacious with plenty of rooms for everyone to gather as well as many nooks and crannies to retreat to if you need some quiet time. We hosted my whole family of around 18-20 people one afternoon and we all fit easily and comfortably. Every room has 1 or 2 ceiling fans and plenty of windows, so even on the 80+ degree days it was always comfortable in the house. The bathrooms were lovely with plenty of linens. The beds were all comfortable and clean. The kitchen was very well appointed. The only thing you'll need to bring from home is your food and beverages. The property was also very nice. The fire pit in front of the house seats 10 and is a great gathering spot. Sitting down on the dock was probably our favorite thing to do when we weren't in the water. We used the provided kayaks and paddled out to the sandbar for some afternoon swimming--highly recommended. The stairs down to the water are a good source of exercise, to be sure, but still worth it once you get there--though if you're brining canoes or kayaks with you, you'll want to put them in at the boat launch in town and paddle to the house to avoid hauling them down and up the hill. Thanks for the wonderful week!

Wonderful Stay on Star Lake

We loved this property. While there is a serious set of stairs to descend and come back up when going down to the water, we got used to it and considered it a good workout. The place was even better than the pics on VRBO. The kitchen was well equipped with tons of glassware, dishes, silverware and pots and pans. They even had a very sharp set of kitchen knives, which I really appreciate since you're usually lucky to get one dull chef's knife at some vacation rentals. There were tons of great cozy spots to read a book or take a nap. Everyone had room to spread out and relax. The fire pit was great and we used it several nights. The dock has a nice view down the lake and we brought our own kayaks and paddle board, though there are several kayaks and a canoe provided. I was just super impressed by how big the place seemed. We made most of our meals in the kitchen and there was plenty of fridge and freezer space for all our stuff. The deck offf the living room was a frequent favorite. There was always at least one of our crew hanging out there with a book or just enjoying the lovely weather. There are many loons on the lake. I was able to get some very nice pics of a group of eight of them in our kayak. I did the whole perimeter of the lake, which is just under five miles. There is a put-in across the street from the Circle K, which will save you the logistical challenge of taking boats up and down the steep hill of the property. Overall, great stay!

Great hosts - super friendly and communicative. Perfect house - spacious bedrooms, bathrooms, living area. Very well appointed with quality appliances and, most importantly, nice cookware and cutlery, which is hard to find in a rental. Outdoor areas are spectacular and the views are unbeatable. The dock alone makes the whole trip worth it. Can't wait to stay again.
