This is a great property, well maintained, with all of the amenities that you typically need. Plus its only a short drive to several restaurant's, stores, and shopping. The owner is extremely responsive, accommodating, and was also very proactive with communication as well. We stayed here 2 years ago and will stay here again.

Just what was needed

This location is a fantastic spot on the lake. The house is well laid out, has fantastic amenities and the nice little touches make you feel like you are home away from home. Jamie is a great host, very responsive and is a quick phone call away if needed. Just what our family needed.

Location, Location, Location!!! This family home is located at the end of a very quiet street with plenty of parking for multiple cars and boat trailers. The views of the lake from the wall of windows is breathtaking! We brought multiple motorized watercraft but the hosts provide boats for paddlers. Swim raft, hammock and solo stove (with wood) were an added plus; there is even a hot tub which we did not have the time to enjoy. Great 2 mile walking loop for exercise. Jamie was very detailed in his communication and in-house instructions were clear. Hope to return to Acorn Acres!

Great cottage

This cottage is outstanding, especially for a family. The hot tub, beach, dock, kayaks, canoe and swim raft are steps away from the house- which is in a quiet and secluded neighborhood. The 2.3 mile walking trail is perfect for kids and dogs. We keep coming back and it gets better every time!

Wonderful Lake House!

House sits right on the water with excellent views from the porch and main living area. The house was fully stocked with all the essentials as well as many toys (hot rub, canoe, kayak, fire pit, etc.) The owner was very responsive and really knows how to manage rental properties. We fully recommend this VRBO property and will likely come back next year.
