Our stay, in general was good. Plenty of room with kitchen well furnished. TV and WiFi were great. Some areas could be improved, such as Did not get the correct door lock combination, manager had to contact us through the Ring doorbell to get in.No dishwasher soapLeather lounge chair is junk, should be tossed.

Beautiful clear water lake with sandy bottom in the shallow area! It was perfect for our little people and they loved the child size kayaks and lily pad. It would have been fun to use the paddle boat but it needed to be cleaned. There was a nice supply of sizes for life vest. Thank you! Sand box was not inviting and even our kids didn't want to explore it. Could use more sand? The Fire pit area is really nice however and chairs ready to use! Plenty of choices for kayaks and paddle boards with easy access. The kitchen and living space had what we needed and worked fine. The house is very old and so we had some allergy issues after sleeping in the smaller bedrooms. The bathroom could use updating, however, the Master bedroom was wonderful. The house is close to the road so can have some loud trucks zooming by. The morning sunrises and evening sunsets on the deck were so beautiful! Thank you for sharing your home!

This is a beautiful cabin about 12 to 15 min from Garrison. The master bedroom has incredible views of the lake (bring eye masks). The deck is large and you can enjoy some time with smores by the fire at night. Since it is next to the road I assumed it was going to be noisy, but it was not. The kitchen has all you need. Only salt and pepper are provided as condiments. You are provided with plenty of towels.The games provided were a lot of fun. We found a convenience store about 13 min away, as we forgot cheese. We asked the host for recommendations for a breakfast place. The one she recommended was great. About 40 min, you will find a restaurant called Block North in Aitkins. It is good, but arrive before the crowds or the service is super slow. We would love to stay here again to see the fall colors or for a cozy getaway in the winter. Thank you for opening your property to us.

Our stay was amazing! We had 6 ladies and only 1 bathroom, so we just made sure to split AM/PM showers.
