Fantastic views and accommodations with all the luxury you are needing.

This rental was the dream getaway that we all needed. I loved relaxing by the water every morning drinking my coffee and being able to hop into a kayak to play on the water whenever I felt like it. The house is so spacious, there was no being "on top of each other" at all. We had fun riding bikes and fishing. It was a vacation we all totally relaxed and took it all in. We would love to rent the lodge again!

Beautiful, peaceful setting

This property was exactly as described. It was newly renovated, spacious and ideal for a peaceful getaway at the water's edge. We have a boat, and the new decking and docks were perfect. While we didn't take advantage of all the amenities offered by the host (kayaks, bikes, fire pit, etc), we fished each day and enjoyed the view. We also play pickleball, and the area has two new courts within walking distance. Local dining was amazing...they do feed you! The host was accommodating and responsive. Highly recommended!

Fully adequate

Am I being tricked of having to give YOU a review, in order to see what your already written review of ME says....?? From the patio/dock areas, the views are wonderful. Matt the property manager was very responsive to our needs of toilet paper. He also had good phone skills, especially when giving us a heads up that his cleaning person was running 30-40 minutes late, and that we could still be there for our 4pm check-in but may need to wait until they were finished before we could go in... This hurrying of the cleaning crew might explain the dirty grill with 3 hot dogs on it. The other minor items were that some pots looked like they were put away dirty. But hey, overall we survived. Thanks, Roger
