    Family stayed over Thanksgiving, with a fantastic snowfall. We were grateful for the garage for the car and the nice stash of firewood! Cosy, comfortable and relaxing couple of days!

    Love this property! The large screened in porch that faces the lake is perfect for relaxing. The lawn out to the lake is also very level making it easier to navigate. The interior was spacious enough for our group, but also seemed very cozy. Definately will be back!

    This place is a complete gem! The porch alone warrants a 5-star review, but the whole place is wonderful. The yard is great for lawn games and toddler exploration, the house is easy for people who can't navigate stairs, and the upstairs is terrific for those of us who want to retreat for a bit (or longer). Just perfection! Thanks for sharing this space with us!

    Beautiful property with the most amazing screen porch! Good on hot days, good on cool days, and perfect all around! Plenty of space to store your own food and a well-appointed kitchen.

    We came up to ride the bike paths and hike with our dog. This property was perfect! It has a flat backyard for our pup to play ball on, no stairs to the pier and a gorgeous screened in porch we sat on every night as it was cooler the week we were there. It was very clean and comfy, and the owners/management team were readily available. It was a fantastic week!Thank you!Sara B

    My customers and I very much enjoy this house. We have friends that live on this driveway/road so it was very easy to connect with them. The house was very accommodating, the kitchen was great for late night conversations and early morning story telling. My only complaint was that the house is set up for couples. 3 bedrooms 3 couples. We had 4 guys so one of us had to sleep on the couch. Still one of the best houses I have used.

    Beautiful home and great location. Very well organized and the Property manager was very attentive to our needs. The screen porch is definitely the highlight of this property!

    The property was as clean as any we have stayed in. The home is well-appointed with all the essentials. The furniture was solid and comfortable. Having use of the garage was a huge bonus, as we were able to park our boat in there, (away from the mosquitos) while we prepped it for the water. We caught a 34 Muskie casting off the dock. The screen porch is a great place to hang out with the family on rainy days. We will be re-booking this property again!
