We had a great stay, the house was clean and well equipped. We enjoyed the location and the kids spent hours skipping rocks at the rock beach. We enjoyed the good local food that is just a short walk away. Looking forward to coming back.

Enjoyed our stay! A few misses on vacuuming from last guest but all was clean. Middle bed was very comfortable, back bed was good too but more in firm side. Loved that you could walk to almost everything & watch the town go by and lake change right out the front windows as you relaxed. I’d recommend mentioning in listing that you have a coffee drip maker & if you provide ground coffee or not. Great hosts came to check in on us & kindly redirect our misread on where to park. So convenient & nice, would recommend.

This house had everything we needed! MaryKate was a fantastic host. She met us when we arrived, gave us a few tips and tricks on the house, the parking, and the area. Communication was super easy, and she was very responsive. The location was top-notch. Right across the street from the lake, and so many things were within walking distance. Will definitely check to see if this house is available again next time we head “up North!” Highly recommend!!
