Thanksgiving holiday
Not as isolated as I thought it would be - socked in between two other homes - did have public lake access to the back of the property - but this is not a private, beachfront property. Had to walk through the yard to get to front porch (which meant trudging through the snow in November) -- they could use a better sidewalk. No garage access and mud had accumulated in front of garage door. Blinding sunlight coming through uncoverable windows in kitchen that face due west. Had to listen to power mowers most of the first day and part of the third day (mowing stopped on Thanksgiving day, thank goodness). Property manager did respond to complaints/issues but could offer no practical solutions - other than "thanks for the suggestion!".

Multi generational family stay for a local wedding
Home is comfortable and in a beautiful setting. The property is well represented by listing photos. Older home has been updated in many ways. Overall a good spot for our group of seven to spend a few nights.

Great place to stay
We stayed at the Rock Creek house during our kids' fall break. Coming from Texas, we enjoyed the cool weather, the dark skies, and the quiet. It's so so quiet. And our kids enjoyed the wifi, not always a given at properties near this location. It's a great location. A HUGE yard for the kids to explore, with the lake just a few steps away. And far enough away to feel a little isolated, but only a 10-15 minute drive to grocery stores and restaurants. Would definitely stay again!
