It was an excellent location. So peaceful and beautiful! The back deck was my favorite place. Wish there was a bigger place like this on the lake so I could bring my whole family next time! It all about nature here.

It’s a great property with a gorgeous view. The sulfur smell in the water is pretty bad but other than that, everything was great.

We loved our stay . We fished & went kayaking. Only thing I wish was different was how you get down to the dock . If we’d been traveling with our elderly they couldn’t have went to the dock . Great little cabin & very peaceful there !

I had an absolutely fantastic time at this Lake House. Wonderful time on the lake and fishing. My only gripe would be how hard it is to get down to the water. I wish there was a staircase!

Thank you for all your hospitality. The views from the deck are phenomenal, seen an eagle, deer. I am really really funny about a clean house- 30 plus years in the business. This house was super clean! That’s the first thing I check in a review! The kitchen was well stocked- and also had fresh eggs. It’s very tranquil and quiet. I can’t say enough about the hostess, very communicative, very detailed and helpful. If you’re on the fence between houses to book- I hope this review will help you decide- you will not be disappointed.
