We really enjoyed our stay. The house is really neat and, even though the lake was frozen, the setting was beautiful. I would love to go back during the summer months. The house was also very clean and was perfect for our family of four. I would definitely stay here again.

Picture perfect!

This home was above and beyond my expectations. The moment we walked in , we were greeted with a sign welcoming us on the chalkboard above the adorable eating nook. The home was clean and the host made sure you have everything you need. Of course the show stopper was the backyard. My daughter and I loved sitting near the fire pit and bird watching. I wish it was a longer trip so that we could truly enjoy all this home had to offer. If you are looking for a place to stay in Monroe book this home NOW!!

relaxing getaway

Dawn is a great hostess! She was very responsive and helpful. The lake house is fully stocked and designed beautifully. The beautifully designed outdoor space has everything to unwind and relax - firepit, hammock, lounge chairs, picnic table and more. The shimmering lake right at the edge of the property was beautiful! (Except for the fact that it was covered in algae the first few feet.) We didn't use them, but they are stocked with a full selection of paddleboards and canoes, etc... that looked to be in excellent condition. The neighbor's chickens and dogs added a "farm like" feel to our stay. We wanted to stay longer! Overall, a great experience!
