This is our second summer staying here and we’ve loved it. The location on the lake is peaceful and we love sitting in the dock in the shade of the trees. The rooms work well for our family of four and it’s easy. The kitchen and grill have all the tools you’ll need. We really enjoy it.
Outstanding home on a perfect piece of heaven. Three of us - me, my husband, and our 12-year-old son. This house is steps from the lake. Like take three large steps from the door and you'll be standing in the lake. It doesn't get better than that. We were totally set with a fully equipped kitchen, all the linens we needed, an impossibly modern bathroom, AC, and fast wifi. The lake couldn't have been more beautiful. Mother nature just showing off, really. Communication with the host was super-fast. Never left wondering what was going on. We had no issues that needed to be managed while we were there. Wonderful property - would absolutely recommend and return!
The cottage was very clean and well appointed- it had everything we needed for our stay and the view was outstanding. Lots of stairs so not for anyone with any mobility issues but we’d definitely stay here again.
This place was exactly what we were looking for, a quiet place to spend a few days with the family. We enjoyed kayaking, swimming and making s'mores. Great place for a family vacation!
The house was immaculate, and the property was gorgeous. Right on the lake, which was very quiet and beautiful. The owner was very responsive to outreach.
Beautiful spot on the lake and full of lake cottage charm inside. Has all the things you need to enjoy a rustic experience outside and feel cozy and as if it was your own home inside. Perfect for our family getaway and cant wait to go back!Good communication with host Wes made it all seamless
Perfect for a long weekend with family for a college graduation! Great communication with owner and clean accommodations. Beautiful location right on the lake ~ Highly recommend!
Great secluded lakeside cabin close to many hikes and wineries
Stayed 2 nights in May 2024
