Great house on a quiet lake

We had a fun relaxing week in this nice lake house! The table was big enough for our whole family and we enjoyed the kitchen to feed the whole crew. The fire pit and grill made hanging pit even more fun and Blue Dog Lake was shallow and clear enough for safe swimming off the dock for the kids. We had lots fun fishing on this lake on surrounding ones and visiting area state parks. We really enjoyed the vinegar museum which was a surprise for small kids!

We had a wonderful stay at Oak & Arrow! My husband and I rented the cabin to spend a long weekend with both of our parents. The weather wasn’t as cooperative as we hoped but we were able to gather around the table and play games and spend time in the living room when we weren’t on the lake. The bedrooms were spacious and it was so nice being able to have each couple have their own bathroom! No complaints from our stay - will definitely be rebooking!

Ice fishing weekend

Great spot for our group of ice fisherman. Lots of room and space for 7 guys to stay. Attached garage was nice for storing gear/hanging bibs & coats for the evening.Close to the main lakes we fished and bait shop.Had some wind blow drifts over the driveway and was cleared out promptly while we were fishing one day.

About the host

Hosted by Reid Vander Veen

Host profile image
Our family grew up on this lake. Altogether the family owns four homes, including this cabin, all next door to one another. Most weekends in the summer we'll be enjoying the lake ourselves a few doors down from this cabin. We're often nearby and can help with any questions or issues. We'll typically try to stop by and introduce ourselves to tenants when we're at the lake.

Why they chose this property

We bought this property because it is directly next door to a few other homes in our family. It was completely renovated in early 2020. At that time we also added two full bathrooms to make the home much more functional. There are four beds in the home between three bedrooms, all of which are either Queen or King mattresses. Each bedroom has a full bathroom in close proximity.
The garage is heated and there are great indoor/outdoor kennels for dogs. We are pet friendly but ask that pets be kept off the furniture and any pet that has been in the lake, is wet or dirty, be kept in the kennels until cleaned.
There is a Weber gas grill and a small Traeger wood pellet smoker onsite. We do take care of providing gas for the grill, but ask that tenants provide their own pellets for the smoker as tastes and preferences vary.
There is great water access and an incredible view from the living area. Plenty of dining space exists for all of your guests. Onsite laundry is also provided free of charge.
