Wonderful Lakefront StayWe had a wonderful stay! The location was perfect—right on the lake with beautiful views and easy access to everything we wanted to do. The space was very clean, comfortable, and had excellent storage, which was especially helpful with our group. It was also very accommodating for our family with three kids. We truly enjoyed our stay and would definitely recommend this VRBO!

We had a great stay on Spider Lake. The house was even better than we expected. It really had everything you needed. Rooms were very spacious, open floor plan worked well for us. Everything was nicely decorated. The lake was great and we used the fire pit area in the evenings. The extra fridge outside was super helpful as well as the high chair.

Great property on the lake. Fished every day. Rented a pontoon for tubing. Visited the town for shopping and dinner. House had everything you need for your stay. Although we didn’t get to do everything we had planned due to the smoke from Canada we had a wonderful time and would recommend renting this home on the lake.

We had an amazing stay at Spider Lake! The location was perfect—everything we wanted to do was just a short drive away, making it easy to explore the area while still enjoying the peaceful lake setting.The property is wonderful for families with kids. There was plenty of space for everyone to relax and play, and our family had such a great time making memories together.The only little hiccup we ran into was that the washer stopped working during our stay, but the host had a brand-new one installed the very next day. We were so impressed with how quickly they handled it. Communication was excellent, and they responded almost immediately every time we reached out.Overall, we had a fantastic experience and would absolutely stay here again. We highly recommend this property, especially for families with kids looking for a fun and relaxing lake getaway!

Was a perfect fall weekend on Spider lake. The house was very clean and comfortable. Played a fair amount of foosball & ping pong while we were there. Took advantage of having a outdoor fire with the family on Saturday evening.

Great winter getaway with friends

This place was great for a fun winter getaway with friends. The layout of the house was perfect for a large group and was close to the activities that everyone wanted to do (ice fishing and snow mobile). The house was clean and the host was great with communication.

A great place for making memories

This was our second year of staying at George's Place and we loved it. We love the spot on the lake and the house has everything we need. I had a couple of questions and the owner was very responsive. We hope to be back again next year!
