Beautiful House!

We found the house at Porcupine Point beautifully decorated, comfortable and supplied with everything we needed to have a relaxing week. The property was private and the lake was peaceful. We enjoyed eating on the deck amongst the birds in the trees. We loved being able to walk into the water for a swim and took the kayaks out often. Thank you for a wonderful week!

Girls weekend

Four childhood friends get together every year to catch up and enjoy each other’s company. This is our second year at this location- we love it! It is thoughtfully appointed and decorated and so comfortable ! The hosts are exceptionally responsive. The lake is pristine and quiet. We cannot rave enough about our stay.!!

Family trip from the west coast for a funeral

Our father passed away and we all flew out to attend his funeral. There were 15 of us in all and we rented 2 homes in this area. Worked out great. Used kayaks and did some fishing.

Comfortable and peaceful family getaway

Carole was a dream host - easy to get in touch with before and during our visit, and left us a home that was easy to navigate, clean, and thoughtfully outfitted. Thankfully, we didn't need her much, because everything at the house was fantastic. We had everything we needed in and outside of the house - sheets, blankets, and towels for the rooms and bathrooms; plenty of supplies in the kitchen; beach towels and plenty of boats (kayaks for adults and kids, pedal boat, electric motor boat) for the water; and grill, fire pit, tables, and plenty of comfy chairs for the porch and waterfront. The Wildwood community was very quiet, the lake was great for a walk or bike ride around, and the water was clean and refreshing. This was a perfect home for a week with extended family and small children - everyone had a blast!
