Mark and Wendy were friendly and responsive hosts. Their comfy lake place is well cared for and outfitted with everything needed to feel at home. And the lake view from nearly every room made for a peaceful stay.

We loved staying at Laurabelle. It was so comfortable and peaceful. The host does an exceptional job of stocking the house with things like coffee, paper towels, dishes, and cook ware. The beds were very comfortable.

The home is clean and bright. The living room is cozy. Beds and bedding are very comfortable. The lake views from the living room and master bedroom windows are lovely. There is a front deck overlooking the lake that you can sit and take in the peaceful views. We really enjoyed our visit! Thank you!

Cute property that was just right for our family of five. Excellent option during a long weekend for a wedding. The recent updates and attention from the hosts was evident in lots of details. The tidy kitchen had all the amenities to enjoy home cooked meals, making it easy to enjoy family time while avoiding unnecessary trips to town.
