The property is absolutely beautiful. Some of the best views on the lake, the hot tub is the perfect place to unwind while listening to the water. The place was immaculately clean, so many included amenities in the bathroom and kitchen, tons of baby and children’s toys, board games. Perfect for a couples get away or an entire family. I was blown away by the communication with the host, they were so attentive and helpful with increasing the temperature to the hot tub and even helping me connect our baby monitor to the WiFi when I ran into issues. It was all around the BEST trip my family has ever taken, thank you Paul and Debbie!!! We’ll be back
My wife and I had a lovely stay. Sunset Haven was a great home base as we explored the local nature, wineries and breweries. The hot tub was great for relaxing in the evenings.
Great place to stay on the lake. Centrally located with ramp nearby. Boat lift was great. House was clean and very well stocked. Listing was accurate and communication very easy with owner. Would definitely stay there again if coming to the lake.
Excellent location to spend a birthday weekend with my kids and wife. Clean, comfortable, and great views. Great owners to top it all off. Will be back, thank you Paul and Ruth for letting us make memories at your beautiful lake house.
Enjoyed a Great Stay at Sunset Haven Cottage. The place was clean and nicely equipped with everything needed to enjoy our Holiday. The owners were great about providing local area restaurants and attractions. We would book this property again.
We were so happy with this place! It was so comfortable and spacious. This was the perfect getaway and just what we were looking for. We will visit again!
Had a great time at this place. We spent most of our time on the dock and in the lake but we were able to get away to the nearby winery and brewery that were both great. We enjoyed our stay.
