    Everything was excellent. The owners communicated that the drive and walkway were shoveled and the house was ready. The view was amazing. The layout is perfect. And it was SO SO quiet! Just lovely.

    Great property. Excellent location. There was plenty of room for us and we were a party of 5. A couple of very large areas in the house for us to gather. I would recommend to anyone wanting to be directly in the water.

    Really nice home and property! Bedrooms annd beds are very comfy; master bedroom and the other 2nd floor bedroom are very spacious. We really enjoyed the kitchen and dining room. Played some board games at the dining room table. The fishing dock was just big enough for 2 casting ; and we caught several bass and crappies. Also caught a few small catfish. Easy access in and out of the kayaks that we brought. House and rooms were all clean and tidy. All necessary kitchen appliances and utensils were available.Great location on a nice size lake!

    We enjoyed the view and the space. We were disappointed in the number of towels available. The property sleeps 10. We only had 7 and still didn’t have enough bath towels for everyone.

    We were in the area for a bike race with a team of 5 athletes. This was the perfect place for us to stay: close enough to be where we needed to be without a lot of driving, but remote and relaxing enough to reset at the end of each day. There was plenty of space to spread out, and everyone was very comfortable. We'll be back again next year!

    Beautiful location and wonderful spacious house. Owner was very great at communicating with us and even sent me information about potential auroras that may occur. They were always very responsive to any questions I had. I also had the opportunity to learn about the history of the house, which to me is always very interesting! Decor is very warm and cute!
