This was a lovely place to stay with my family. We enjoyed the beautiful view of the lake with a gorgeous sunrise view. The walking path around the lake is also a plus. The kitchen had everything we needed to entertain our large extended family. We enjoyed lots of time on the spacious decks and family room with fireplace. We will be back next year for sure!
The property is truly a beautiful place with stunning views over the lake. We especially enjoyed the modern bathroom and kitchen. The only disappointment was absence of aluminum foil and no salt & pepper in the fully stocked kitchen. We just wish we knew what to bring. The place is very clean, cozy. The beds were super comfortable.

Happy Travels
This home had the most perfect view from so many rooms of the beautiful lake. The beds were comfortable and the house was clean. The kitchen is so well stocked with everything needed for meals, and do new and pretty. The main bathroom is dreamy!!! The views splendid!!!!
Very nice but I was not aware that there was a downstairs apartment with a full time tenant until we checked in.

Sara's Place
The location was great for us. The facilities were spotless and well-equipped. The four teenagers especially liked having their own space upstairs. I loved the antiques that were in the house. I selfishly would like to give this place a bad rating so others wouldn't want to rent it. Then it would always be available for me when I wanted a get-a-way. I'm already planning my next trip there.

Time to unplug
We loved our stay at Sara's Place. What an amazing view of the water, the birds and beautiful hydrangeas this week. The decks were perfect for breakfast and watching the lake.
The upstairs bathroom has been recently remodeled with a huge tub with a stunning view.
Kitchen was beautiful and nicely equipped.
One thing to know... one of the bedrooms is only accessible through another bedroom. It would be great for kids, but very awkward for all adults.
I would definitely stay here again.

Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, location
Disliked: Communication, listing accuracy
The house was nice and clean. However, there was not a hair dryer. I know sounds silly but they listed one and there was none. I messaged the host, probably AI, to get one. They said the local team would bring one by. Never heard from them for 3 days. I had to purchase my own. Don’t promise something and then don’t deliver. Terrible service!! We will never stay at that house again.
