Thanks Anthony for the review. Accept my apologies for the 3 star rating related to cleanliness. I mistakenly rated you for the guests that were there prior. You left the place just fine. Hope you have a great day.

Had a great stay with beautiful views of the lake. Ample living quarters and plenty of lounging space. Backyard is steep and avoid the poison ivy. Plenty of parking for larger groups.

A stunning lake view. Very tidy outdoor space with a great back deck and fire pit overlooking the lake. My family and I had lots of fun playing billiards and foosball. My kids also loved the very thoughtful gift basket. The house had everything anyone could possibly need, a very relaxing and enjoyable weekend stay. Thanks Ron!

What a fun and beautiful property! This is by far the best vacation rental I’ve stayed at. Some are incredibly bare bones, but this home was fully stocked in every room. We loved the kayaks and hanging out by the water! There are so many fun things to do here. Honestly my favorite moment was hanging out with my friends on the upper patio, watching a bald eagle catch a fish out of the lake. The host is responsive, kind, and was flexible with my group about our checkout time. 11/10 would love to stay here again!

This place had everything you can possibly need and more. We had a great time and even though it was raining one evening we play pool, board games… My kids enjoyed basketball hoop and other games. We sat by the fire and really enjoyed this time we spent there. Wonderful experience .

Rustic Hills Retreat was our chosen spot for our annual girls weekend. We didn’t have the best of weather so a lot of time was spent inside. There was plenty of room and things to do for the 8 of us. Beds were comfortable and kitchen was well stocked. Owner was very helpful and quick with responding to any questions we had.

Thank you Amanda for the kind review. Glad you had a good time. Sorry about the weather. My cleaning gal said that you guys took a picture near the front yard sign. Would it be possible to obtain that picture so we could post it our facebook page? If not, I totally understand.
