We enjoyed our stay. The view of the lake was amazing. The fire pit area, beach area and the deck were where we spent most of our time. Plenty of space for everyone. There is room for 6 cars in the driveway. When we walked in it smelled clean. Would definitely stay there again.

A great place for the family (all ages). Lots of space inside and out. We enjoyed the kayaks and paddle boards. The kids spent hours fishing off the dock. We were only to able to have one fire due to weather, which was very relaxing.

Cute place on the lake! Lots of room for everyone! Owner was quick to respond to any questions we had. Loved sitting on the deck in the evening watching the beavers on the lake. Wish we had the weather and time to play with all the water toys!!

We stayed three nights for our annual family vacation and were impressed with the house and the amazing views! The place is more beautiful than the pictures! We had nine people and a baby, and there was plenty of room for all of us. We never even left the property, we had so much fun kayaking, swimming, and floating in the water. The fire pit area was another highlight. It is so beautiful and elevated over the water. Courtney was very responsive to an issue we had with the water and resolved the problem fairly. We would definitely recommend this vacation home to others! We made a lot of memories and had a lot of fun!

We had a great time this weekend while staying at this property. The house was clean and the property was awesome. We used the fire pit both nights while sitting along the river. When the sun goes down, the stars come out and they seem sooooo close! The host Cortney was incredible through the whole process. She was very friendly and she responded right away to any messages I sent her. The beach and all the beach toys/kayaks are very cool. I will come back and recommend this home to anyone looking!

Great location on the lake

We enjoyed our stay. The cabin is very nicely equipped and the basement and upstairs allow plenty of room to spread out if you are traveling with more than one family. We appreciated having the water floaties and kayaks.

It was a wonderful stay they had plenty to do for both adults and children.

Even with the water being low in the lake there was plenty to do including kayaking paddle boarding laying out in the sun and the kids played in the sand. the cabin itself was beautiful w plenty of room for us all and overall was very clean and well taken care of

Excellent place to vacation! Beautiful

Lovely place, lots to do and enjoy for our large 3 generation family! From the sandy beach to the numerous areas to congregate for board games and coffee, we were never bored. The beds were comfortable, and everything we needed was supplied it easily purchased at the the dollar store down the road. We'll definitely be back.
