Absolutely wonderful in every way!
This was a fantastic house! We have rented several lake houses with another family and this was by far our favorite house. It was very clean and had everything we needed. The lake was beautiful and enjoyed by everyone.
This home surpassed my expectations. It was so clean and there was plenty of space. The beds were very comfortable. The deck had a beautiful view of the lake. The area surrounding the home is very private, with lots and trees and foliage. The walk down to the lake is steep but worth every step. The water is very clean and calm. Our children loved the raft in the water. If you are looking for some quiet time in nature, this is the place to stay. We absolutely loved our stay.
Property is very well kept and provided a fun vacation for our whole family. Even though our stay was short, we swam, fished, kayaked, had fires every evening, and enjoyed our family time together. A wonderful time was had by all.
We all had a great time! Everything we needed was there and had no issues. Thank you
This 5 bedroom lake house is perfect for family size gatherings. We had four families which included 7 adults and 5 children that fit perfectly. The home has every amenity you could need and is very clean. The large kitchen had an adult and child size table which was great during meal times. The large deck with two tables enhanced our family time as well as the fire pit area. The lake was great for water sports with our boat however we did not have much success with fishing. The home is secluded but is within 25 minutes of Crandon which has a great beach, shopping, and restaurants. Our family is repeat users and love the place!
6 of us have been VRBO'ing x 12 years, and this is by far the cleanest, best stocked, place we have been at. There is so much space inside to move about. Absolutely no complaints!! The sitting areas by the lake are exceptionally peaceful. (Now, this is not a complaint, but just a warning, the first part of the decent down to the lake is steep, and a couple of our ladies were not able to make the journey due to physical ailments - it's just a word of warning). Will Definitely Consider This Place Again in the Future.
Beautiful home, on peaceful lake. Large and comfortable. Many amenities inside and out. We have enjoyed our stay each time we have been there and look forward to coming back again. Thank you for sharing such a treasure.
property , was just what we expected. Very cozy, in great condition. Secluded, many family games to enjoy. Outdoors , there were kayaks , great swimming lake. We all just unplugged and enjoyed each other ,
Our group of 9 adults and 1 infant had a great time at the house- it was big enough for all of us to be comfortable and had everything we needed. One thing to note - the house is on a hill, and there is a steep path down to the lake. We had one person with mobility issues and a baby in the group, so it was not the best set up for us. We made it work, but just in case anyone else with accessibility needs is looking I thought I’d mention it. Besides that it was honestly perfect! The lake is gorgeous and we rented the pontoon boat and had so much fun out on the water!
This property has all the features and amenities for a wonderful family vacation. It’s a pristine vacation home that meets or exceeds all expectations. The kitchen is fully stocked with everything you could possibly need for food prep. 5 bedrooms provided plenty of sleeping accommodations. The kids loved sleeping in the loft area. There were a lot of thoughtful perks to keep them occupied - board games, puzzles, a Wii game system, and even bikes in the garage. Lily lake was great for boating and the floating raft off the pier was nice for swimming. For a day at the beach, we’d highly recommend the city beach in Cranston - only a 20 minute drive away. There also a great restaurant/bar for Friday fish only 10 minutes away called Burgt’s. There’s a binder with info on local restaurants and attractions which came in handy. The only minor issues to be aware of are the downhill walk to the pier and the spotty WiFi coverage which is to be expected. The owners were very responsive to all questions. We thank them for sharing their place.
The home was spacious, gorgeous and well equipped with a beautiful view. Plenty of room for everyone in the family.
Everything was absolutely wonderful. We look forward to staying again next year.
