The home was very clean and well stocked. The location was quiet and peaceful. There were plenty of options to entertain both indoors and outdoors. The host was super accommodating and quick to respond. My son and I really enjoyed our time there.
Absolutely lovely property and perfect weekend retreat for my family. My children loved the waterslide, diving board, and the high jump. Lindsay provided some great breakfast supplies and was extremely attentive to any requests. At one point we couldn't get the water pump for the slide to work. Within 5 minutes of sending a message, Lindsay was outside and fixed the issue. My kids are already asking when we can go back. We will definitely be returning. 5 Stars
Definitely family friendly. The kids had a blast in the lake. WIFI issues were challenging with the TV in the living space. The one in the bedroom worked fine. Outside grill was too dirty to use but otherwise a great experience. We will recommend and would definitely stay again.
This was such a wonderful experience. We stayed at this lake front property for two weeks while we checked out our new hometown. Lindsay was the perfect host. It’s a lovely lakefront property with everything you’d need. The only thing we regretted was that we didn’t have the whole family to enjoy it!!!!!
Out stay was wonderful! The house was clean and ready for us. Lindsay provided quite a bit of food for breakfasts. We really enjoyed the lake and docks especially the diving board and paddle boards!
We had a great time! The property was perfect for a weekend trip to the lake. Our host was very helpful and accommodating. We enjoyed the lake access and fire pit. We definitely want to come back in the future!
This is such a fun property! We are staying half way during a longer trip and it was so spacious for my family. The beds are very comfortable and the snacks provided were such an added bonus! My kids loved playing and my husband had the most relaxing kayak ride in the morning. Definitely want to come back!
This was an absolutely magical place. The accomodations were exactly as described, clean, roomy, comfortable, private. We had full use of the amenities - the huge backyard, firepit, two docks. We hiked at a nearby park each morning. In the afternoons paddled, fished, and swam right outside. And at night, we built a fire for smores. Lindsay was friendly and responsive. We will for sure visit again!

Our stay wasn’t a vacation getaway, it was a place to sleep while we were in town for a family wedding. So not a lot of time spent here. It was easy check in. Host left plenty of quick breakfast items. It was our first time staying at a bed n breakfast, so that was a new experience for us. We were never disturbed which was nice. The downfall was the toilet. It runs non stop and we had to remove the tank lid to wiggle it to make it stop.
The property had some really great aspects and a few that were not so great. First the good: we loved the lake! The two piers, slide, diving board, and stand up paddle boards were all family favorites. The hosts had everything we needed to enjoy the water. It made our vacation great. The less good: the actual accommodations were a little rough around the edges. A constantly running toilet, doors that don’t close all the way, cobwebs, and a shedding couch that littered the ground with pieces of black fabric. The stove only partially worked and we couldn’t find a smoke detector anywhere. The breakfast included bagels that expired the day before we arrived which made us question the freshness of the eggs (not in a carton) and muffins. Our greatest issue was that the table was so wobbly we were afraid to set any drinks on it lest they crash straight to the floor. Did any of these things ruin our vacation? No. But it wasn’t what I expected. A little bit of time and cash could go a long way to improve things.
