We rent a lot of VRBOs and this one ranked among the highest. The house is beautiful, and the lake setting couldn’t be more perfect. The host was extremely responsive and kind, and the kitchen had any appliance you could ever want and more.

The property was just as advertised. It was a beautiful location and very private. We assumed there would be houses right next door (they weren't) so it felt like the lake was ours. Trisha was very attentive. We had a late arrival and she made sure the lights were on for us. The house was well stocked with spices, coffee, tea and some snacks! She checked in with us in the morning to make sure all was well. The outside deck catches the sunrise so we spent our time sitting in the sun each morning. A wonderful oasis!!

What a wonderful note to read! We're so glad the privacy and lake views gave you that sense of having it all to yourselves, and that the deck's sunrise views became part of your morning routine. It's great to hear the late arrival was made easy with lights on and the house well stocked with spices, coffee, tea, and snacks for you to enjoy. Truly happy this felt like an oasis for your stay!

This was our 2nd stay in this nice house. The location is perfect for us. The house was clean, and the kitchen was well-appointed with equipment, spices, etc. The pup loved his 'doggie TV' outside the windows.

Adorable getaway cottage!

The cottage was adorable, right on a beautiful lake with walking trails nearby. It was perfect for a quick getaway from the city and we especially enjoyed the hot tub and fire pit right on the lake shore.

Peaceful and beautiful. It was amazing waking up to a perfect and secluded view of the lake. Private yet just a quick drive to shopping. There was a great variety of amenities. You could literally bring clothes, do a small grocery shop for food and have everything you need for a stay. I will definitely consider this house again for a relaxing time away!

We LOVE this property ! The host/owner is extremely available and thought of every last detail and amenity for our stay. The home is clean and well stocked with supplies. The landscape and property are beautiful. We wished to be snowed in, but the weather didnt cooperate, and we were still able to utilize the deck and outdoor grill. This was our 2nd visit in 4 months and cant wait to book next year ! Thank you !!!!

Peaceful Lakeside Weekend

The house is beautiful and had everything we needed for the weekend. Since it was cooler and a bit rainy we only availed ourselves to the outside table for peaceful and quiet times. Our NYC family really enjoyed the quiet! We will be looking at this house in our future visits.

Wonderful stay at the lake!!

We had a fantastic time over a long weekend at Trisha’s place on the lake. The house had everything we needed, and the location right on the lake was perfect for views and for kayaking and paddle boarding. Trisha is a great host with lots of communication and little touches in the house that make you feel welcome and at home. If we ever come to the area in the future, we will definitely stay here again.

Wow! What a great long weekend!!! The property was everything it says and more! Kitchen was stocked with everything I needed to cook our special meals, the house was clean, smelled great, comfy and cozy!! We watched the Swan and the Heron in the lake and enjoyed playing cards on the deck. The deck was also equipped with a gate, so our pup could stay outside with us safely!! We loved this property and can't wait to come back for a longer stay!!!

A true sanctuary - Good for the soul.

Peace and nature abound in this home. I’ve stayed in many rentals, and this one was probably my favorite. And, you couldn’t ask for a better host! So helpful and obviously a kind person who really cares about her tenants. Clean, beautifully decorated @ comfy, cheerful place with little extras here & there, making it extra special! Great rural area, too, w/ nice restaurants and activities! Will definitely return!
