This property is perfect for a large group or family & has everything you need! The kitchen island is huge and made our gathering so comfortable. We loved having the shuffleboard table & huge sectional couch in the rec room. The proximity to the lake made for great fishing, & many family members made full use of the hammock in the yard. Great property!
Great place to stay! Close to the lake, quiet neighborhood, Brought our family all under one roof for Labor Day weekend, and there was plenty of room for everyone. We unexpectedly had a toddler staying with us for the weekend, and were happily surprised to see that there was everything we could possibly need to make his stay enjoyable as well.
Beautiful property and location. The house has been upgraded and was very comfortable for our family. The view was lovely and just a short walk through the backyard to the lake.
The property had everything needed for a fun long weekend. Really enjoyed the large kitchen island and enjoyed the speaker system for listening to music. Will definitely stay again if returning to the area.
We had a great stay at the cottage on the lake! Perfect to see family all together and share a meal. Beautiful house and location, can see the lake from the deck.
Thank you for staying with us, Nate. We hope you enjoyed your stay and stay with us again! Thank you for taking care of our home,

Beautiful property and surroundings. Plenty of room for my family and lots to do. Very responsive host! Great place for big families. Loved our stay here! Will for sure come again!!
The huge yard was great for the kids to play, could fish walking distance from the home, and the kitchen was great for gathering. The home layout worked out so nice!
We were only in town for a short time but this house was perfect for our needs.
Very clean, quiet, and great beds for sleeping.
We plan to come back next year for our trip.
We had the best stay at this wonderful home! Spacious home with plenty of room for 6 of us to spread out. The back deck is so peaceful with lake views. The host is great, communication is perfect and entry could not have been easier. Lots of amenities as well. Don’t hesitate to stay here!
We fell in love with the house the minute we walked in! We caught tons of fish and spent hours enjoying the view of the lake from the deck! The location is perfect with nearby towns. The owners were super helpful and quick to reply! We would love to visit again!
The house was very clean comfortable and inviting. Great location, just steps from the lake and beautiful view. Perfect weekend with our family for the weekend. Would definitely recommend to others.

Thank you for staying with us. We would love to host you again!!
Everything about the home was welcoming and perfect for our weekend! We needed a larger drive way...but that happens when your group is gathering from multiple states. The property owner was very responsive to messages.
Multi generational family stay for a local wedding
Home is comfortable and in a beautiful setting. The property is well represented by listing photos. Older home has been updated in many ways. Overall a good spot for our group of seven to spend a few nights.
