LAKE INFO
Swimming and/or Floating is encouraged. Water is great for swimming and water levels are always high enough for a boat to be docked
Rocky Shoreline access – lake level fluctuates depending on the season.
Spring – Lake levels will be high. The docks do not start getting installed until late April. We do not GUARANTEE any dock in the water before Memorial Day.
Summer – High Water Mark is June 1st. Depending on the weather, the lake levels may come up higher than that making the docks hard to access as their walkways will be underwater. We do our best to make sure they are accessible, but we cannot always get to them on demand.
Fall – Water levels will be lowest, and docks will start to be removed from the lake until the spring. Boats can still be docked, water levels at the end of the docks are still acceptable for boat docking.
Winter – Lake usually freezes, and ice fishing is popular. Any access to the frozen lake is “at your own risk”.

We had a guys weekend here and it was perfect. The 10 of us fit comfortably, and between the fire pit, the BBQs (yep 2!), and the dock we had an amazing time.
Response from VrboOwner on 28 Mar 2020
Thank you for your review. We are glad you had a wonderful time. Welcome back anytime.
We loved our stay here! It was perfect for our family of 8 with lots of room to spread out. The beds were comfy and we appreciated having individual AC units in each room. The parking spaces were enough for our two trucks but I would caution anyone bringing 3 cars that it would be very tight.

Thank you Gwen and I'm glad you had a wonderful time. We appreciate your comment about parking. We do try and make that well known during the booking process that we have limited parking. Just the nature of some lakefront properties. Glad you had a wonderful time.

Great home on the lake! Perfect for our family - we had a wonderful time! Would like more food and clothing storage space but we made it work. Would definitely rent this house again!
A nice location, house layout and great lake access. Only negative is the path getting to property and going down to the dock is hard to traverse. Overall great experience and nice property we enjoyed our stay.

The house was as described, beautiful inside plenty of beds, open space to relax, kitchen was clean, and the dock was a great feature for our boat. As described there are A LOT of steps to get from the road to the house and especially to the lake itself.
There was plenty of room to stay with 9 of us. I saw a lot of complaints in the reviews about the stairs being steep. The stairs down to the house are not steep, but there are quite a few. I wish I thought to bring a chair for the dock, but other than that we had a very nice stay.
Great house on the lake with plenty of room for everyone. Large tables inside and on the deck make for great family gatherings. The dock is awesome tucked away in a cove. Great for swimming and use of the paddle board and 2 kayaks provided. Also loved the fire pit. Only negatives were an occasional bad odor from septic system and a lot of steps from parking area to the house.

This lakefront location can’t be beat—you can wake up and jump into the lake for a swim from your private dock each morning! Can be loud with motorboats and jet skis, especially on the weekends, but it was a fun time for all, especially our kids. Plenty of room for two families. Lots of water toys and board games to keep the kids entertained. Only criticism is that the entire house has a musty smell; that must be why they had air fresheners in each room.

Comfortable and functional, good location
We had two families (10 people all together) and were very comfortable. We were able to park 4 cars. The dock is great for hanging around and swimming. I84 is close by so it's easy to get around for day trips. The Dutch Market is just past I 84 so we were able to eat in easily and we used the grill twice. The screened in porch is great, the flatscreen is great and the kitchen is great. Would highly recommend this place. Lots of steps from dock to house and it is steep but manageable.

Thank you for your review. Please keep us in mind next time you are looking for a rental home.
Great Lake house loaded with everything you need for cooking and sleeping! Cove is perfect for jet skiis, knee boarding, tubing etc. Nice location near gas station, supermarket,dollar general and pizza place. Beds were very comfy and air conditioning kept us comfy. Only downside is the walk up and down to the water, very steep and uneven with no railings. That was tough for the grandparents in our group and was a workout for everyone else. But we loved our vacation and made lots of memories!!

Thank you for staying at our lakefront house. The location is great. The steps to the lake can be challenging for those older or with mobility issues.
Thanks again for your review.

Cindy and the Weichert Rental Team
Totally enjoyed the house and view. The only downside is the parking and the steps down to the house. Carrying belongings and coolers down the steps was very difficult.
Also the kitchen has no space for the food you bring. There was only one cabinet empty for storage.
Otherside the place was wonderful.

Great Lake house
Overall great house. Went for a guy's weekend and everyone loved the house and it's location to the lake. The interior has a great country feel and has a great layout that accomodated our large group. The new dock was great. We caught a lot of fish , was easy access to go out paddle boarding, and we rented a boat that we were able to dock right at the house. There is also a fire pit which was a nice touch as well.
Parking was a little tight, but the realtor was very helpful and accommodating with off site parking and the top deck has a cable railing which everyone was a little uneasy about especially if you have kids.
Response from VrboOwner on 28 Mar 2020
Glad you had a wonderful time and look forward to having you back. As a side note the cable railing is being replaced so guests will feel more comfortable with little ones that may be toddling around. Thanks for your feedback and please call again.
We had a wonderful week at the lake! The house was adorable - perfect set up for our family. Very clean and we all really enjoyed the screened in porch, deck and picnic table for the kids, and the cabin “feel” of the entire house. The dock was perfect for our family and all the little kids. Our only complaints would be the inconsistent stones walking down to the dock and the bottom floor shower was extremely tiny. It was quite difficult to keep the water off of the bathroom floor. It was very easy to get ahold of and communicate with the property manager. We truly loved this property and made many many memories!

Lakehouse Review
Great house! We spent a family Thanksgiving (15 in total) here, and it was amazing! The interior was beautiful, plenty of room for everyone, very clean and well stocked! Kitchen had all the utensils we needed to prepare a large holiday dinner. It snowed so we didn't get to use the fire pit or outdoor grills, but the little ones had a great time playing outside in the snow! The owner and manager were great to work with, very accomodating! They worked with us with regard to no cable service when we arrived to having a name for us to contact if we needed cinders or salt to get back up the hill. It was a great vacation and we would definitely highly recommend it to anyone!

Peaceful vacation
This home definitely fits the space needs of a larger group - the only real issue was that most of the kitchen cabinets were locked so could not be used. The cabinets that were unlocked were filled so couldn't be used. We had 10 people in the group so brought a lot of dry goods food that we didn't have anywhere to put so ended up using the bathroom closet. Other than that, it was great week!
The place was fantastic. Tons of room. The back deck was great with nice, large, picnic table. There is a back porch downstairs and a nice fire pit too. The kitchen had everything we needed including many pots, plates, silverware, etc. Overall, a great experience. A word of caution. The stairs leading from the road into the house are steep. As are the stairs down to the lake. If you have trouble with stairs, this probably isn’t the place for you. If stairs aren’t a problem, you’ll love it. We did.
