This was a very new area for us. But loved it. The house was close to activities and shopping. Fishing was decent. The lake is very busy on the weekend but during the week we were one of a few boats on the lake. The house was perfect for 8 of us. Lots of room and storage areas. Appreciate the owners sharing their home

This property was perfectly fitted out and comfortable. We were there in the bitterest of winter so our grandsons could snowboard Trollhaugen (half hour away) but could tell how great it would be in the summer—right on the lake where folks were ice fishing. Very enjoyable.

Great Family Lake Home!

We had a great week at Blake Lake! The house had plenty of room, and came with great kid amenities which helped on a few rainy days. Well equipped for our family to cook all week, and a perfect yard for games. Kids had great fishing from the dock/yard. Hosts provided great information for the house and were very helpful and communicative when we had questions. 10/10 would recommend and return!

We had a glitch with the entry code, but once inside we were impressed with the spacious cabin and the view. The cabin was clean and neat. One thing that i'd suggest is grab bars in the tub areas for us seniors. We enjoyed the lake boating and fishing. The cabin was well stocked. It is a place we would consider returning to in the future.
