The property was excellent. The kitchen is wonderful and seemed very high end. The grill and fire pit were fun for everyone, and the fenced yard was lovely for our dog. It was also a great house for a multi-family stay. We all loved the beach and rented a boat from a local company to cruise around the lake. The hosts were very communicative and helpful. Overall a great stay.

This home is so pretty and so comfortable. Everything you need is there for your stay. The kitchen is Great! The patio is lovely and such a nice area for our friends and family. Cleanliness is awesome and decor is lovely. The lake is a perfect size for us- not rowdy at all. We’ve stayed here 2 times and hopefully will be there next year also. Thank you for renting it to us!

The house was even better than how it was described! Spacious, well equipped, and situated in a beautiful setting. Our large family of 15 had plenty of space indoors and outside. The kids loved the big, fenced in yard, and the adults loved hanging out by the fire pit in the evenings. The grill was really nice and huge! Crossing the road to get to the private, little sandy beach and dock/swim area was not a problem. We all loved the area and the house....we will definitely return!

Lorlee the place to bring family together!

We absolutely love this cottage on Dewey Lake! I've stayed here several times before and keep coming back every Thanksgiving with my big family. It's always super clean, cozy and perfectly set up for my big family for a relaxing stay. The lake views are beautiful, and the space fits our whole crew comfortably. We have also been there in the summer and that is PERFECT too! Highly recommended!

We had a wonderful stay! The outdoor space was fantastic and easily accommodated our group, making it perfect for gathering and relaxing. The kitchen, with its large island, was ideal for cooking and serving meals together. Beds were very comfortable, and there were plenty of towels for everyone. The host was quick to respond to any questions or issues that came up. Overall, we had a great time and would definitely recommend this property!

Everything about the stay was great. We had a couple questions, but nothing urgent. The questions we did have were answered very quickly. Anyone that stays there should go to “Amanda’s” and bring a pie back for ice cream and coffee.

Great house for big groups! The kitchen is incredible and the house overall is very roomy with good sized bedrooms. The dock is across the street from the property & not continuous with the grass yard which is hard to tell from photos but overall did not impact our stay! Quiet road with friendly neighbors & we’ll definitely come back next year if they’ll have us.

Fantastic stay

I was invited to stay at Lorlee for a big family birthday celebration week! The house is newly thoroughly renovated - and gorgeously done. The kitchen with all top notch new appliances is spacious and perfect for hanging out and cooking together. We are already planning on coming back and doing it again next year - for sure new family tradition. I can highly recommend any stay at Lorlee.

Winter wonderland fun!

My family and I rented this beautiful lake house and enjoyed the snow, some sledding, the warm fireplaces and just being together as a family. It was plenty big enough for all of us, the yard was perfect for the kids to run around and play in the snow, and the kitchen was great for our family dinners! Any questions we had were answered immediately and check in/check out was smooth because of the great communication we had throughout the process! We had a wonderful stay and can’t wait to come back to try it out during the summer!
