Lake-Front East Shore Lodge -- Private Beach, Beautiful Views, Expansive Decks

Great place great lake

The House was like stepping back into the 70’s. Warm and welcoming . Perfect size for our family. It was a little cluttered but very clean. I’d recommend bringing your own bedding. The location is gorgeous with the beach right there. We had a wonderful time and would definitely recommend this home. We will be back!

My husband and I enjoyed our stay in the little lake view cabin. Simple and clean with beautiful views.

Vintage lakefront property with plenty of room for the family to enjoy the great outdoors.

Great house, lots of room, lots of parking area and wonderful beach area.

This was a great place to unplug and entertain without tv and internet. The down sides were no AC and no cable or streaming for the evening. But it did give great time for everyone to visit and play together. The house gave plenty of room for everyone to have their own space.

Would I stay here again? In its current condition, no. If the mattresses were updated and the insect issues were fully resolved, yes. Details: (+) waterfront location (+) price / value (+) spotless bathroom + kitchen (+/-) Decor is from the 70s (-) appliances are very old (freezer doesn’t work very well, stove vent doesn’t work very well) (-) couches in living room can’t support adult weight and sink down far too much (springs seem worn out), fine for kids (-) mattresses are all very old and some have mystery marks on them (we called the owner to ask what they were) - some are also sealed in plastic (-) serious insect issues inside (swarms of flying bugs around inside lights, ants in bathrooms and kitchen). When the windows are open we learned that the screens have holes and are sealed poorly. When we closed the windows we leaned that the sliding doors don’t close all the way (the frames are warped) and bugs continue to enter the house.

Every one loved the location, the kids had a great time. We would like to do it again next year

Arrived at two and got into house. Went to use restroom and there were big black ANTS crawling up and down the walls!!! ICK!!!!! Then as we began to unpack noticed just how DIRTY the place was!! Cobwebs with bugs in them!! Curtains are stained and ripped!! Screens are all ripped!! Sat on furniture and got a spider and ANT to crawl across my grandson and bit him!!! It’s as you are walking into a dark 1970 house!! Bears got into trash every night and we cleaned it up which was no FUN at all!!! The owner of this place should take some of his profits and make this place livable!! Only reason we stated that our trip was good was because of the lake and boating!!!! HOUSE is NASTY!!!

Our family has stayed at the Boatman several times. The vintage lakefront home provides ample space, beautiful views, and incredible access to the lake. Great for families!
