Serene Retreat

Very well appointed and nestled among the trees, above a cove. A lovely, peaceful place to revive amidst nature. We hated to leave! Only drawback, over 100 steps to the dock.

Lovely lake house!

Excellent lake house, great views within a quiet setting. Everything worked well and it was perfect for our needs. If you don't mind the 100 steps down and then up again to/from the lake (we didn't, great exercise) then you should consider this property. Overall excellent stay!

The process to rent the property was very simple and affordable. The property was very clean and well maintained. The dock was the best part of the property and tied it all together.

Beautiful place on the lake!

The home and lake are beautiful! My kids loved jumping off the dock into the clean, cool water. Getting down to the lake and back up is a workout, though. I counted 120 stairs.

Nice house that had everything we needed

This home was perfect for what we needed during our little getaway. The main issue was the distance of the deck from home. The older family members had a hard time with this hike and hence couldn’t enjoy it as much as they wish. Pictures of the listing are deceiving and not one of them shows the real distance. Otherwise the house was equipped with everything we needed to enjoy our stay

The home is very nice, with comfy beds and a beautiful kitchen. Good to have a bathroom for each bedroom. The steps to the dock are (as advertised) quite steep and there is A LOT of them! Just be aware. There is even have an ice cream boat. Lovely week. Homestead creamery ice cream by the lamas was to die for .

Nice home a the Lake

We had a nice 7-night stay at this home. Spacious and clean. Good spot and we would stay again. Please be aware if you have small children that this home may not be the best for you. The deck balusters do not meet the 4-inch code requirement and there are many easy-to-break items throughout the home. This would have no impact on someone without children <2 years old.

Quiet clean relaxing place.

Great house if you don’t mind steps! Was going to invite a couple over for dinner, but the when I got the check in information contract stated no more 6 people at a time, did send messages to ask if okay for just dinner and was told no. Nice clean house, quite down at the dock great for grandkids to play in the water and fish, could just use some handrails at the bottom of the steps for safety.

Beautiful off season retreat

We enjoyed our 3 day stay in this great lakeside house. The weather was cold so we didn't take advantage of the multiple outdoor areas, but did enjoy lunch overlooking the lake from the upper deck. Great proximity to all the lake has to offer. The one item I would point out is there are over 110 steps (we counted) to get down to the dock, so make sure you pack your cooler properly. You don't want to be making any more trips than you have to. Be mindful of grandma's stamina if you want her to see the water. :)

Nice Home…owners must be “loving people”

Layout was great… downstairs bed and bath, plus great den made this house super accommodating. Upstairs bedrooms nice too. Kitchen well equipped and Tv/Satellite stations super! DVD included…played old home movies…worked great. Walk down to house from parking drive was super safe even in rain. Too many steps for old people to get to the water from back porch… over 120… but sure beautiful lake view. Would come back to cook out on the grill and eat outside…and would love to stay a whole week! Thanks to loving owners… your touch showed lots of loving concern…even to the GREAT BOOKS in the bedrooms. Proud of your faith testimony!

Nice home. Vacasa is terrible.

The home was nice and the stay was enjoyable. The photo of the property facing the lake was a bit misleading. The reality is more crowded and congestion than the photo implies. This distant property management company, Vacasa, is poor at communication. They were not responsive as we attempted to access the home, and have been exasperating to deal with for an issue I am trying to bring to their attention post-stay. I miss the days of dealing with a home owner or a local property manager when renting a home.

Tranquil Woodland Setting

We enjoyed our beautiful three bedroom, three bath vacation home with all the amenities. The view was exquisite and the wildlife charming, especially the large-eyed doe whose curiosity got the best of her as she watched us enjoying our dinner through the living room window one evening. We also got an up front and personal display of an osprey catching his dinner while we were kayaking one afternoon. The only caution I would advise regarding this property is the need to be able to negotiate over 100 steps from the parking area to the dock. We considered it great exercise but it could be daunting for anyone with physical limitations.

The Perfect Getaway

"I recently had the pleasure of staying at this charming vacation rental cabin by the lake, and it was an absolute gem. The cabin itself is not only beautifully designed but also impeccably maintained. The large bedrooms were a pleasant surprise, providing ample space for everyone in our group. One of the highlights of our stay was the two decks, which allowed us to soak in the tranquil surroundings from different vantage points. The boating dock with its picturesque view was a favorite spot for morning coffee and evening stargazing. The cabin's proximity to the lake made for a truly immersive and relaxing experience. The drive to the cabin was as enchanting as the stay itself, winding through scenic landscapes and setting the tone for a perfect lakeside retreat. If you're looking for a peaceful and picturesque getaway, I highly recommend this vacation rental. It's a beautiful home that offers a wonderful escape from the hustle and bustle of everyday life.

What a beautiful home. Looks right out of Better Homes and Gardens.

My daughter-in-law found this house which is just 4 miles from their house. She warned me that sometimes the pictures on line prove to be a bit misleading so I should be prepared. It turns out that the house was exactly like the pictures and we were thrilled with it. If there was any drawback it was the access to the dock but we didn't use it. After breakfast we left for my son's house and spent all day there. My husband is somewhat handicapped with a bad leg and he would have been unable to use all those stairs. Please let the owner know how happy we were with their beautiful home.

Decent House on the Lake

The stairs from the driveway to the front porch was a little bit of a shock. The pictures make it seem like the property is level on the street side. The stairs to the dock were a lot steeper than pictured and the access out of the water was limited. The floating docks were in disrepair, more so the first one closest to shore. They both had boards that were in the process of lifting up and one that was a trip hazard. The styrofoam used to keep it afloat was constantly breaking apart and it looks like the structure underneath had actually began to fall off. Other than that the house was great. Loved the wide open kitchen and dining room but the beds definitely left something to be desired as they were quite firm and made it difficult to rest after a day hiking to/from the dock and swimming.
