    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.

    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 !!!!

    Now THIS is a host. Great communication, welcoming treats, even heat and lights set up for our arrival. But this lovely cottage was the winner; great setting right on the lake (complete with swan), windows all around, every amenity you could ask for. Homey touches with modern kitchen and baths. Only bad part was it was too cold to kayak. Fall colors made up for it. We will be back, especially with relatives in the neighborhood. 12/10!!!

    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!!!

    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!

    My husband and I stayed there with my 85 year old dad and our dogs. My adult children, spouses and and 8 year old came for the daytime. This place was PERFECT. there is something for everyone. It can be as quiet and serene a property as you wish or you can enjoy the water and fishing /paddling. Quiet as there are no motor boats on the water and the sound of the nearby waterfall is in the background. The house was clean and very well appointed. Had everything you would need. Grocery is 2 miles away if you need provisions. Bar b q grill was spotlessly clean. All in all a wonderful property. Would highly recommend.

    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!

    We had a great stay! Trisha was such a great host! We arrived during a major storm and she stayed up late to ensure that we were able to find the house okay. Of course, finding the house was easy because she had made sure the driveway lights would guide us to the right place. Also, the location is beautiful and serene. There are views of the lake from most of the rooms in the house. The house is also spotless and incredibly well-stocked with all kinds of extras, and the beds are comfortable. We will definitely be returning to this home next time we are in the area!

    In town for my daughters graduation with family. The location on the lake was wonderful! The listing pictures were quite accurate. The house was the most well equipped of any rental I have utilized to date! The kitchen had everything from spices to coffee pods to soy sauce to butter in the fridge. Well stocked toiletries as well. Our host was very thoughtful and easy to contact if needed. We enjoyed our stay!

    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.

    This house on the lake was absolutely perfect! The location, view, and charming appointments made this one of our very best vacations. The owner cares deeply about this home and for the comfort of those who visit -- this shows in its cleanliness and thoughtful furnishings. We hope to return soon to this lovely home!
