We enjoyed our stay at the Chillwater Lake house over the New Year holiday it was comfortable for all of us we had 8 adults staying with plenty of room for all!!We are looking into staying during the summer to enjoy the lake. We did brave the cyclone winds and blowing snow in our side by side had a great ride. The house is comfortable and nicely decorated and Riley was very quick to respond to any questions we had. I highly recommend this property!!
Stayed 3 nights in Dec 2025
