We stayed at this lovely house for a ski weekend. The kitchen is well kitted with cooking appliances, pots, pans, utensils, etc. Bedrooms are large and comfortable. Two bathrooms with a great shower on the first floor. Comfortable loungy living room with chairs and couches. Everything was clean and in great shape and made for an easy entrance. Check in with the key pad couldn't have been easier. Management company is very responsive.

A charming home in a lovely location! This house offered everything I needed to be comfortable and enjoy the company of family nearby. Given the wintry weather and the height of the spacious living room ceiling, the common room required wearing an extra layer. But the bedroom and bathroom were very comfortable with the heat set at 68. I recommend this home to anyone who enjoys lakeside living any time of the year.

The house is nice. It is a rural setting on a small lake. The dishwasher was broken, but that didn’t impact our stay. The rooms were clean and the four double beds were comfortable. The light switches are very confusing and random, but this was just a nuisance and not a problem. Overall we had a very nice stay and would consider returning again.

Charming Cabin with Ideal Location

I recently stayed at this charming cabin and had a wonderful experience. The property was exactly as described in the listing. The amenities were more than adequate, providing everything we needed for a comfortable stay. The location was ideal. While the cabin was a bit outdate that is what we were expecting and it didn't distract from our overall enjoyment. Plan on booing again in a few weeks for another great getaway.

Overall, we enjoyed the stay. The place is a little rundown and dated. The fireplace was cool and worked very well. We enjoyed hanging out at the island and playing games. A few cobwebs here and there. But overall pretty clean.

Lakefront getaway

Lake front, beautiful views and spacious. My husband, 2 dogs, and myself stayed a night. The property is dusty/cobwebs in fans, window, etc. bedroom/bedding were clean, bathrooms were spotless. The only real downside was we could not use the lake as there was a cyanobacteria warning. If you plan on bringing pets, highly recommend doing your research before booking.

Locke lake

Got there, 51 inside. Found that boiler switch was off. Turned on, reached 62/63. Range control top was disgusting. Had to clean before I could use it. Location was great. Still don’t understand why we couldn’t get in in the morning. I’m sure cleaning crew was there the day before. No one there night before

Home on locke lake

We must say this was a great experience. It was our family vacation for the year and it met all our needs. There could be a few updates that would have made it perfect. Ex. Fix light bulbs. Our dog loved the yard and was thrilled to experience swimming in the lake. The home was located in a private peaceful area. We enjoyed kayaking and exploring the area. All and all it was a wonderful choice and we would certainly like to enjoy this home again for our family’s vacation next year.
