    We had a wonderful stay at this sweet cabin on a beautiful lake. The rooms were very comfortable, the kitchen was incredibly well-stocked with everything we needed, and communication with the owner was fantastic. Highly recommend!

    The house was clean, and the host was so welcoming. We had chocolates on our pillows, homemade cookies and a personalized note when we arrived. We got a text message that evening asking if we needed anything or had any questions. The lake was gorgeous; pristine. My family and I enjoyed kayaking, swimming and just hanging out by the water. It was close enough to stores that it was not a burden to food shop, but far enough away that you got a break. We loved every minute!

    This is a perfect spot to enjoy the lake. And it’s west facing, so the deck is shaded for the perfect morning coffee and we had three wonderful sunsets. We rented the pontoon boat for the day and really enjoyed exploring the lake. The house is very well appointed and maintained, with attention to every detail, including slippers! The kitchen has everything you need, and a really nice grill on the deck. The vintage stove and fridge are very nice touches as well. We loved it.

    This is a lovely spot with expansive views of a gorgeous lake location. We enjoyed the house, the grounds, the upper and lower decks, the kayaks and SUPs provided, and dock with access to the lake. Everything was spotless and highly functional with thoughtful host details like coffee and soaps provided. A great place for family. We’d love to return.

    This lake house is a true gem! The views alone are worth every penny, but the house itself is beyond impressive. It’s incredibly clean, with thoughtful amenities and little touches that made our stay so comfortable. Sunset boat rides, paddle boarding, kayaking, roasting marshmallows around the fire pit or with a flip of a switch, enjoy the stunning, electric outdoor stove! The dock & swimming area was beautiful… I could go on & on! Feras, the host, was wonderfully attentive, checking in to make sure we had everything we needed but giving us all the privacy we could want. Being dog-friendly was a huge plus for us—our furry friends had a blast! We’re rebooking for next year… but honestly, we were almost reluctant to share how amazing this place is—too good to keep a secret!” Feras~thank you from the bottom of our hearts for opening your beautiful home to our family, we can’t wait for the next adventure! ♥️Lacey, Tay, Leo & fur babies!
