Wonderful!

Great cottage, great lake and great time. Owner was easy to work with and even left a welcome bag with goodies for us. Beach was large and pavilion by water was wonderful. House was roomy and all amenities were provided. Definitely 5 stars! You won't be disappointed.

2019 Family Lake-cation

The home was beautiful and just as advertised. It had everything we needed and then some. Dana has thought of everything. The lake was fantastic. We boated, fished, paddle boarded, swam and had a great water gun fight. The neighbors were very nice and welcoming. We had a great time and would book again.

Absolutely Fantastic!!

Our family could not have been happier with this rental! There were 10 adults ages early 50s to late 60s. This place was immaculant! Wonderful location. Plenty of parking. We brought our own pontoon and the launch is basically right around the corner. Everything you could possible need as far as appliances, utensils, dishes, towels, linens etc. There were bald eagles and loons to watch as well as a random muskrat that was playing in the water one evening. Awesome fire pit, and fishing was great, as well as swimming and kayaking. I also can't forget to mention the lovely sunsets! I can't say enough good things about this place, it's a wonderful slice of heaven!

We love this place!

We recently spent a week at this house. It is fantastic. We just wanted to relax and enjoy a week in a lake house. This place checked all the boxes. It's clean, well-maintained, and equipped with the essentials. The location is awesome (2 minute drive to grocery store). It has a great view of the lake. We spent our days down by the water while the kids played, and we spent our evenings up on the deck enjoying the peaceful view. The owner is fantastic to work with. We highliy recommend!

Great family vacation!

We just returned from this property and already miss it. The set up of the house and outside area was perfect and so comfortable. We were able to spend most of our time outside, enjoying the pavilion, boating, tubing, fishing, swimming and bonfires at night. Dana was so nice and helpful, everything was effortless. Thanks again for the welcome gifts and for letting us enjoy your beautiful home.

Great house! Clean and very comfortable!

House was clean and comfortable and we had everything we needed for the week. The kids loved the sandy beach and shallow water. Dana was very helpful and informative. The cupcakes and goody bag were much appreciated! Our family had a great week and I would recommend this property!

Wonderful place to spend time with family

House was everything and more than expected. The beach area was fantastic. The neighbors were very nice and helpful. The area was quiet and peaceful except for the children with us. The lake was great for canoes, Kayaks, and just relaxing on an inner tube. Some did fishing and had fair catches. The beds were comfortable. There was a note on AC thermostat about not freezing those in the downstairs was very helpful. I was amazed at the kitchen and the appliances, dishes, pans, and spices available. The fire pit was great in the evening, but the bugs were rather ravenous. It was nice to have a printed list of what needed done prior to leaving. We had a great time with extended family where we did not have to impose on anyone's home. Only 3 of our party saw the eagle fly over.

Awesome place and people

We loved our time together here! The property is EXACTLY as advertised. Very clean and well maintained. We enjoyed tubing behind our boat, fishing, jetskis on the lake. The lake is clean and clear. Owners are super friendly and have put a lot of thought and effort into making your stay the best it can be. They have prepared a great notebook containing everything you need, even a Welcome bag of treats. Loved having all shopping needs only 5 minutes from property and the neighbors are so friendly and helpful. The pavilion by the lake is wonderful! We could be comfortable in the shade and watch the kids playing on the beautiful sandy beach. We spent one day at Rocks and Valleys off roading with Jeeps. It's only 1/2hr away and that owner is a great guy too. I would definitely recommend this property and hope to come again next year!

Sandy Beach = Happy Kiddos! Great Place!

Our family has made a tradition out of renting a different lakehouse for one week of the summer for each of the last 5-6 years. In total, there’s two families (4 adults & 5 kids ages 1 yr to 12 yrs)… and this house had more than ample space. The neighbors were tighter than the houses we’ve rented in the past, but they were more than accommodating and both proved to be extremely friendly, which made this a non-issue. The cottage itself was recently renovated and it showed, it was cleaner and more updated than any of our previous rentals, and was decorated nicely to really make you feel relaxed… there was no forgetting you were at the lake, which made parking your cellphone and forgetting about work very easy! The beachfront was very sandy on shore, and fairly weed free/sandy bottom out to about (adult) waist/chest deep, which was more than adequate for the kids, who spent nearly every daylight hour in the water, fishing from the dock (small bluegills galore), or playing in the sand. The abundance of beach toys and games for all ages was appreciated. We had our ski boat with us and had no trouble quickly identifying the no wake areas or the shallows, and while we missed the best skiing conditions (morning/evening), we did otherwise enjoy the no wake hours for the overall peace and quiet (6:30 PM to 10:00 AM… I believe… it’s posted at the house and launch to confirm). Everyone loved the welcome package… especially the cupcakes… even making a quick trip to buy another batch in town mid-week! A quick picnic & swim at the island was a fun outing for the kids and is recommended. The owners were excellent, great to communicate with, friendly, available but never over-bearing, and very invested in making us enjoy our stay. Overall, we loved the place and will definitely consider another stay next season!

Beautiful home and the lake was perfect!!!

Our family LOVED the details and thoughtfulness the owners put into the beautiful home, from the beach decor to the welcome bag and gourmet cupcakes! We've stayed at many homes on our travels and we all agreed we felt the most welcome here! We had 4 families with a total of 12 for a week and always felt we had our own space. The views to the lake from the house were spectacular and we enjoyed a few sunsets by the fit pit. The kids spent most of their time playing in the lake. The beach was awesome for our little ones (youngest 2) and the lake was shallow enough for them to walk out quite a way. They especially enjoyed the variety of beach toys in the covered pavilion. We made wonderful memories with our family and Dana & Rod were great to work with and made it even more special with making us feel so welcome! We hope to be back next year!!! Thank you for letting us use your wonderful lake home!

Fantastic Lake Home for our Vacation

Our family has been doing this vacation where we pick a different lake house rental every year and this house has been the best. The house and lake was awesome. The welcome package/cupcakes/water was a very nice touch. The neighbors were very nice. We actually didn't leave the house all week! The weather was so perfect and we had everything we wanted right there.
