This house was emaculate! It sits on a large lot that is very quiet and serene. The rooms were very neat with the different themes. It had plenty of room to accommodate all three of us. We come up annually and hope to visit again next year!

October Hunting Trip

Great place to meet with friends for a fall hunting trip. The house was as described and very clean. Location was great! Bimbo's is walking distance and there's a couple other restaurants in the area. Plenty of public hunting land in the area! Parking was easy with plenty of off-street space for three trucks.

Side Lake Getaway

The house was immaculate! The spacious, light filled living room with generous seating was a comfortable place to relax. The piano desk was an unusual, but clever upcycle. The bedrooms were nicely decorated and the bed was comfortable. Nice kitchen, though I didn’t cook much, but well stocked to cook a meal. A very pleasant place to stay. Side Lake is a nice place to visit!

Fabulous Property!

We are the lucky ones to be the very first people to stay at this incredible place! State of the art EVERYTHING! Simply stated elegant furnishings, comfortable beds, state of the art appliances, light fixtures, ceiling fans and wonderful bathroom and shower. Other special touches included a personal care basket to purchase supplies on an honor system, complimentary water, flashlights, first aid kits and a gift of a s’mores kit which we enjoyed over the very nice fire pit. We will return to this great place!
