The space was incredibly tidy, beautifully decorated with care and so peaceful. Each day of adventure we returned to the space thankful we’d snagged it for our stay. The hosts were super responsive when needed, and the check in/checkout process was the most seamless we’ve had yet. The location is also perfect, tucked away next to a beautiful lake and close to anywhere you may need to get going. Absolutely will be staying there again!

It was exactly what I needed. Sweet, comfy and homey place. Really easy access to downtown. They had bottled water, or anything you might want in a kitchenette. Overall I was super happy with my stay. Easy check in and I felt very safe .

This was a very neat, clean, abundantly stocked place! They thought of everything…the only thing I didn’t see were tissues. Good location- not really lake view from the unit but it was so convenient. Definitely recommend this place! If we ever go back to the area, we will definitely book again!

Such an adorable and well-thought-out stay! The decor was super cute and cozy, and it was the perfect size for our little family of 3. I will admit the bathroom door and a curious toddler was not a match made in heaven but that is no one’s fault but our own. First time parents on our first family vacay LOLThe hosts were amazing and responded quickly! Location is great too! The hosts live next door, and we were told to park in between the houses on the street which was not a problem at all! We simply pulled in the driveway to unpack/pack the car. Overall, highly recommend this stay, and we would love to come back without the baby.
