    We had a wonderful stay. The home was very clean and well stocked. The outdoor area was perfect for grilling and eating. The surroundings are quiet and relaxing. There is fire pit which was great for S'mores. It is a short walk to the private beach. The water was excellent - we enjoyed paddle boarding and swimming.

    we had a really nice couple of nights at the lakeside cottage. we used it as homebase for visiting some family, friends and college visits. the yard and fire pit made the property for us, only being there in the evenings. thank you for a lovely stay!

    The property was nicely located and accessible to where we wanted to go. It is a semiprivate location with plenty of space for us and our dog. Nick was great with communication. The weekend was fabulous and relaxing. We would love to come back.

    We loved our stay at Nick and Tayla’s place! We were two families totaling 4 adults and 2 toddlers - their place was perfect for us especially with the private beach access and all the bonus amenities like the toys/books, paddleboard, life jackets and beach gear. Location was great too, being close to hikes and not too far from town if we wanted to grab something/eat out. Nick was also super communicative and helpful.

    We had an amazing stay with our family of 5 and our dog at this quaint cottage. The property exceeded our expectations and the calm, serene atmosphere brought solace to our souls. It was an incredible place to connect more deeply as a family and dial back our typically very busy life. Located in a lovely, quiet neighborhood with direct private beach access was so wonderful! All the amenities and personal touches rank this at the top of the list of all of the VRBO’s we’ve frequented (and it’s a lot). Additionally, Nick was the most proactive, attentive and responsive host we could have possibly wanted. Genuinely helpful with every question, guiding us before and during our stay, and incredibly understanding and accommodating when a family emergency upended our trip. We are so grateful for the time we spent at this gem and we will absolutely be back!
