Beautiful house! We loved the many spaces to sit and relax with our family. The kitchen was very practical and well equipped. We like to cook and they even had all the basic spices. We loved all the huge windows overlooking the lake. The young adults and kids had a great time on the paddle boards! Be sure to bring your own lifejackets. They had plenty of towels and beach towels. Only downside was there were a lot of wasps and our granddaughter got stung, But the owner said she would take care of that problem.

A great place to enjoy happy!!

The location was amazing. The paddle boards and kayaks were a huge hit and provided hours of fun for everyone.! Loved the sandy beach and fire pit. The steps were a challenge for this gramma, but the good fun far outweighed the challenge.

This was the most amazing home and location we could have stayed at.

The property was extremely clean, equipped with everything you need and breath taking. The host communicates with me immediately and was so helpful. I cannot wait to go back! I LOVED everything about this experience.

Great spot with a little beach!

This is a very nice property on the water. Suited our family well. The only downside is the fact that 3 of the bedrooms do not have windows.

Beautiful Home and View

My big family plus, my parents went for a few days and enjoyed every moment!! It is a lot of stairs, but that was expected for us! Everything they have to do down at the dock is amazing! The kids loved the kayaks and paddle boards! The hot tub was huge and fit everyone! Cannot wait to stay here again!

Exceeded expectations

This lakeside home is beautiful, appointed generously, and clearly well loved. Beds and bedding, linens, kitchen offerings - everything was very generous and appreciated. The views of the lake from an enclosed porch on a rainy day was lovely, with an open deck for the perfect weather days. A large hot tub was wonderful, the dock and all its offerings added to the fun. We hope to return soon!

Great but not great

I would be careful with this property. First host doesnโ€™t get back to you for days, no phone number only email. First night the grill had no propane emailed host about a backupโ€ฆno response had to cook hot dogs and burgers in a pan. Not enough paper supplies. Had to go and buy paper towels and garbage bags. Then the ceiling started leaking in the kitchen from bathroom above it. Two weeks later and now theyโ€™re trying to get the security deposit! Unreal..

Megan was a great host and the process was very simple from booking to arrival. Megan checked on us after arrival and was quick to respond when I had a question. The property was better than expected and every room was setup for 7 adults or 4 couples. The only thing different from the photos is there is no access to the top deck of the pool house. That makes sense to me for safety reasons. The close proximity to Mohican and Mount Vernon trails was amazing. Lots to do or nice to stay at the property for family relaxation. Our family travels quite often to stay at large properties. We all agreed that the Main floor was the greatest place that we had ever seen. Massive front room with fireplace as well as a large functional kitchen. The lake is deep and fishing off the dock was amazing. We stayed in October and usually fishing isnโ€™t very good. I lost a pole do to me wanting to stay warm by the fire pit. Large catfish and lots of bluegill swimming at the bottom which was weird to me. At least I knew what the catfish were eating. The lights at the boat dock made it very easy to see. I think Megan will put some solar lights by the long stairs to the water to make it easier to see at night. We walked up on the grass which really made it safer. Overall, this property was a Gem and we will definitely come back again next year.
