The house is fantastic! Lots of room, very clean and new. The road getting there is steep and winding, but worth it to get to the Roost. It was very accommodating for adults and kids.

Beautiful home! Hosts were very responsive to any/all questions. Comfortable accomodations and plenty of space for extended family to come together. The outside space absolutely gorgeous - wish it wasnt so cold and we couldve enjoyed it more! Would definitely return if ever looking to stay in that area again.

The property was beautiful and well maintained. Kitchen was fully stocked for all our cooking/grilling needs. A short drive to the boat launch. The arcade games, shuffleboard, and foosball were a big hit! Would definitely stay again!

Spacious and secluded!

Our hosts were kind and accommodating, and the cabin was even better than expected! Our family had a wonderful time and even with 12 adults there was more than enough room! All of the amenities were excellent, we're planning to make this our new yearly retreat option!
