Spring break getaway

We truly enjoyed our stay at this lakefront home. The host provided a ton of up front information about check in as well as helpful information about the house. The house was very clean and the ammenities were great. The view from the porch and the deck are incredible. Our whole family enjoyed the gameroom downstairs and were also all able to relax on the spacious counch in the main living room. It was little things that made it even more enjoyable as parents. Things like towels and linens being available, soap and toilet paper in all the bathrooms, dishwasher pods, coffee, laundry detergent, snow shovels, etc.. I could go on. It truly was the experience of borrowing someone's home for the long weekend. We hope to come back in warmer weather!

Great location

Fantastic Stay – Highly Recommend!We had a wonderful stay at this property! The check-in process was smooth and hassle-free. Upon arrival, we were pleasantly surprised to find complimentary coffee, tea, and even honey! The amenities were fantastic—there’s a sauna in the basement and a game room with a pool table and pinball machine, which kept us entertained.The location is perfect, just a short 5-minute walk to a beautiful lake. We also had a blast snow tubing on a nearby hill! Overall, this is a great place for a relaxing and fun weekend getaway. Highly recommend!
