Cozy Lake Front Cottage

Lovely cottage directly on the lake. House is well maintained and has everything you need to relax and enjoy the lake - kayaks, dock and dock chairs, screened in porch, etc. Inside the home is well maintained and clean and has great views of the lake. Lots of small touches made us and our dog feel very welcome! My only caveat is that the house is not set up for young children or toddlers, but for 5 years and up it is great!

Great windows to view the lake life below! The chairs on the dock are super relaxing for morning coffee - bring a towel down to wipe off the morning dew.This home is a peaceful and comfortable spot amongst the trees. Bed was super comfortable.A sit-in kayak would be nice, or even a canoe to use. The call of the Loon was enchanting. No gas in grill when we arrived was a bummer for our steaks. Bathroom is on bottom floor with spiral stairs up to bed. Overall good experience!

Almost ideal

This place has a great waterfront perch, with nice swimming off the dock and a full complement of kayaks. House was well-outfitted and super-comfy, with big windows to enjoy the soothing pond view, even on a rainy day. The one downside was cleaning: we were greeted with a bunch of dirty utensils—does anybody look at what’s in the drawer?—a hurriedly wiped fridge and clump of hair in the shower.

Great Lake House vacation

Beautiful setting on a quiet lake. Wonderful dock with great views and kayaks to enjoy the lake. Well stocked kitchen and grill with indoor and outdoor seating areas. Only issue was with the vacasa maintenance and cleaning.

Camp Loon A Tic

The location was perfect. The lake breathtaking. House was clean and cozy. The screened in porch, two fire pits and barbecue were great. Plenty of space as well as privacy. Can’t wait to go back.
