We were three families with kids ranging from 4 months- 9 years old and there was something for everyone. Very close by, there is a beach for swimming with a bar/restaurant ($5 cash admission). Janine was very communicative and responsive!

Although the weather was somewhat erratic , I'm thrilled to hear that you had an excellent time. You are welcome to return at any time! I also want to express my gratitude for apparently scaring away the raccoon! Ever since your stay, we haven't had any incidents of her rummaging through the garbage. Hopefully, our upcoming guests will be just as conscientious about disposing of their garbage as your family was.

I can not say enough great things about this house. Janine has thought of everything. My nine girlfriends and I had our annual girls' trip here for a weekend in July. We spent both days in the water, swimming and lounging in tubes. The back deck was a beautiful place to have coffee in the morning and watch the sunset at night. It rained for a short time, and it was nice to have the covered porch in the front of the house. The basement has a wide selection of games to play. I loved the air hockey and the driving game. She left a nice note and a generous basket of snacks and drinks for us, as well as bug spray, ponchos, lanterns, etc. All of the beds were very comfortable, and the place is immaculate. We are definitely renting again.

Excellent location, close to venue. Very clean, Bright, open, well kept, nice linens, towels, excellent pillows and bedding. Lots of room. Lake was beautiful, very clean and kayaks were much appreciated. Eagles were amazing, saw woodchucks also. Many deer. Very quiet area which is awesome.

Very nice accomodations, clean, with alot of ammenities. However, only 2 portable airconditioning units were not up to the task to cool the house down much in the heat of summer. My bathroom registered 99 degrees at 10 pm most nights. Also, no toaster??

We regret that the AC/airflow situation, which was clearly explained in the house guide and also communicated via text, and verbally, seemed to have a negative impact on your stay. It appears that you may have overlooked the recommendation to close the sunroom doors during the afternoon, as the room is designed to let in sunlight with an unobstructed view of the lake. Throughout your stay, we accommodated your requests for beach towels, garbage bags, and an air fryer. However, you never mentioned any issues with the temperature in the house or requested a toaster. Unfortunately, your lack of communication prevented us from providing the level of comfort you deserved. Even before your arrival, we made several inquiries about your specific needs for the booking, but received no response. Moreover, your party arrived an hour and 30 minutes before the designated check-in time without prior notice. Additionally, without seeking permission, you took it upon yourselves to enter our utility room (clearly marked as "Keep out") in search of tools to fix a drawer that was broken by your party. and the dog hair and damage from your dogs was disappointing as we spoke in length about the houses dog rules. Regarding the toaster, we would like to clarify that the air fryer you specifically requested does have a toast setting. Furthermore, the house is equipped with an array of amenities, including two coffee machines, two blenders, an ice maker, a popcorn machine, an electric kettle, and a frother, which we have provided based on the preferences and needs of our past guests. Ensuring a clutter-free countertop, we try to consolidate machines with the same basic functions. Our primary objective is to offer exceptional hospitality and provide an enjoyable experience for our guests. However, achieving this goal becomes challenging when concerns are expressed solely through reviews after the fact, rather than in real-time when they could have been promptly addressed.

Wonderful Trip

This house has it all. We had an amazing time. The location is fantastic and the Views! The weather wasn't the greatest but that is where the game room came into play. Our ping pong and air hockey skiils have improved. We also did hiking to a water fall nearby. We did get to spend one day on the water. We swam, kayaked, and fished. The out side is as great as the inside. We even got to watch bald eagles flying around! Plenty of room for a family of 9. Sitting and dining! Bed and baths were very modern. Hot water was plentiful. The pictures don't do it justice. The host was very welcoming. We are planning on returning!

Unhinged owner

Unhinged owner claimed we scratched up the neighbor’s jerks with zero proof. The place clearly needs some upkeep but she blamed us for breaking an air hockey table we didn’t even touch. She also barged into the house 2 hours after our check in and was creaming on the phone with someone downstairs, we would get daily texts pestering us about minute details and got the sense we were being watched constantly. It’s a nice house but stay far away.
Stayed 8 nights in Jun 2024
Response from VrboOwner on 16 Jul 2024
Veranika was the worst guest we ever had and totally trashed my house. She lit prohibited fireworks and damaged my neighbors jet ski. They asked her party 3 times to stop. When hearing her side of the story, she only said to not have been present. Everything in the house is updated and pristine...past reviews will prove her dishonesty. Like stating I arrived 2 hours after check-in when we actually crossed paths at check in and I returned 5 minutes later for something I had forgotten, profusely apologizing. As far as communication, I texted 3 times during her 8-day stay...for garbage pick up before the holiday and when my neighbors contacted me. She must have felt watched by the animals because she taped pillow cases and yoga mats to the windows and didn't even remove them before check out. Yes, Veranika should actually stay far away from all VRBOs as she has no sense of responsibility or integrity. Before this review, she was sent every single picture of the extensive damage which she didn't respond too at all. I was so shocked because I allowed her to bend the house policy with UPS deliveries, additional dogs and people. I asked her to let me know if anything was broken as I had another quick turn around after her stay. Our $1k Jensen air hockey table was broken, taken apart and left with missing pieces. Sunroom door knob and metal coat rack broken off. She left windows open during a storm and soaked my $1k oriental rug on top of damaging the relationship with my neighbors.

About the host

Hosted by Janine Canton

Host profile image
I am from Queens NY and I bought this house after taking a trip to a house across the lake for my birthday during covid. We wanted to go somewhere close just to get away for a few days and came across this lake. It was winter when we stayed, but the location and lake stayed in our minds. After seeing the view from the sunroom we knew this was the house for us. Originally the view was not the focal point of the house but after some strategic renovations we were able to get that view as a focal point as soon as you walk through the door. The house was designed to pull you in to the open lake view in the sunroom. Many of the furniture pieces were thrifted from NYC residents and refinished to fit in with the soothing relaxing vibe of the lake house. When designing the rec room, I wanted to add all the fun games my family loves to play together. We also designed the gaming section of the room for my son, who is an avid video gamer, so I made sure the TV was extra large. This also serves so that my loud gamer is downstairs and the movie watchers upstairs. Board games and puzzles are great played in the sunroom while we bird watch and enjoy the views and watch the boats and water sports from the great open view. I really designed this house for enjoying time in the beauty of nature with my family and I feel like that's what the house gives. The house itself has that peaceful fun cozy good time feeling, and any one who stays always catches the houses awesome vibe. I love hosting families like my own who just want to get away and hang out together. Come and enjoy!

Why they chose this property

I chose this area after staying in a house across the lake during the winter. I woke up early and through the windows you could see nothing but the sun light sparkling on snow flakes falling. It looked like a snow globe that had been shaken and was breath taking. The lake is well maintained and the wildlife is amazing. The eagles, hawks and other big birds of prey are constantly drawing your eyes to the sky and are just majestic and entertaining to watch. Its so peaceful and gorgeous during the winter and being out on the water is fun and exciting during the summer. The sunsets are absolutely stunning. The area is a bit rural but the grocery store nearby is up to date and has a great selection even for my vegan family members so we have enough variety for everyone.

What makes this property unique

I think the view and the game room makes my house stand out from the rest. The view is just breath taking. The eagles and hawks come and hang out in the tree right in front of the big picture windows. They fish in the lake and just show off their amazing wingspan and hunting skills. The gameroom provides hours of fun and the TV for the gamers can keep kids busy for endless amounts of time while the adults can enjoy relaxing and have their own space as well.
