We enjoyed the vibe of the home, with it's vintage but cool decor and comfortable furnishings. That matters to us, as we've stayed in many rentals and the comfort factor is important. We LOVED the swing chair; many hours reading and relaxing in it. The host was easy to communicate with, and the location great, esp. in the summer with the beach/lake so close by. Great place to swim and sunbathe (bring a floaty or SUP)Would stay here again!

If you like to stay in a location surrounded by nature, this home is a perfect place. The home is comfortable, clean and well supplied with essentials. The owner, Harman, is quick to respond if you have questions.I do recommend you have your tv streaming account info with you if you have time for watching tv! Bring your passport, Canada is a short drive away.

We had such a relaxing time here. We had a 2 week stay in between moving places and it was a great place to get back to and relax. The host was easy to communicate with and they always replied quickly to any questions I had. I even accidentally left a few important items and they made sure to get the items back to me! Amazing!

This pretty house was perfect for our family holiday! Such great lake views, fabulous walk to the lakefront park and big spaces to be together. We loved the cozy beds, well stocked kitchen and big dining table for family meals. Laundry room, multiple decks and yards, and jet tub outside were bonuses. This was the hang-out house we were looking for!

This was our first VRBO experience and it was great. The host was very thoughtful and detailed, on arrival the rental perfectly matched the listing. The views of the lake from the home were amazing. We loved our stay and would love to rent this location again.
