Beautiful Stay

Came in for a long weekend to explore the area. This was an absolutely cute and beautiful place to stay. Loved being able to sit outside in the morning with my coffee and down by the lake to watch the sunset each day. The kitchen is perfectly appointed, the bed was comfortable, and everything was quaint and cozy. Great weekend escape for some quite rest.

It was a lovely mostly private stay on the lake. I loved the kayaking, the kitchenette was convenient, and the bed was comfortable. Would recommend

Very clean and inviting space. Being right on the lake made for great mornings to wake up and enjoy a cup of coffee. Dee was very friendly and a good host. Will look to returning in the future.

Charming Place for Short or Extended Stay

I can’t say enough good about this studio space or its owner—both were exceptional! I stayed for nearly three months as part of a work relocation and the apartment was such a nice place to come home to after work and house hunting. Beautiful area on the water with all the attendant sights and sounds, including a family of geese. Couldn’t recommend more highly!

Wonderful!

The studio is charming. I enjoyed my stay tremendously. It was quiet and relaxing which was what I was looking for. The owner has done an amazing job at making it feel cozy and warm. The property is right on the lake. You can look out and see water. I didn't kayak or paddle board, but I will next time I stay. The property is close to everything, a short drive to restaurants and about 10 minutes to downtown. It was very easy to get too and find.

About the host

Hosted by DYNISE MOORE

I'm originally from the west coast. Love traveling the world. This is my life long dream of having a home on a lake. I just completed a full renovation, to include the studio rental, which is dedicated to my son's memory. I enjoy opportunities to get to know my guests and hope they enjoy the property as much as I do.
