Our stay on half Moon Lake was exceptional. The house was perfect. Very clean well prepared. Our family of four felt very comfortable in both the indoor and outdoor spaces. We appreciated access to the water and use of the kayaks and canoes. The lake was beautiful, peaceful and clean. The host was easy to communicate with and very responsive.

From beginning to end this was definitely one of the very best rental experiences we’ve had. The lake house was beautiful and appeared recently updated with all new appliances and features that made it feel like home. Joe was a wonderful host and very responsive despite being out of the country on vacation during our stay. The house is on a beautiful part of the lake with gorgeous views. A true highlight for our young granddaughter was blueberry picking at the farm just up the hill. I highly recommend staying here. We will be back!

The house was well appointed, and had the essentials for making a meal. Everything was clean and comfortable. Having the private lake accessible was such a plus. The wildlife in the area was fantastic. Joe was responsive and helpful with any questions and check in and check out went smoothly. The king bed was a split bed and I did struggle a little with keeping it together in the middle. But other than that I have no complaints. I would love to stay here again and again. It was quite peaceful and lovely. 5 stars. Highly recommend.

Thanks! It was a pleasure to host your family. We will check out the bed bridge, that was supposed to alleviate the gap in the adjustable bed. Please.feel free to reach out at any time. You’re always welcome back. Joe

Great view. Kitchen was pretty well stocked. The use of the kayaks and canoe was nice. One issue we had was the burnt out light in bathroom but was quickly replaced. Only one tv. Another would have been nice on our rainy days. Additional lighting in living room would have been nice too for evenings. Overall we would rent this property again.
