I felt I was home at my family's lake. The only thing that made it very tricky was the driveway because it's extremely steep. However, when you get used to it, it's not bad and great exercise when you have to walk your dog!The hosts are extremely responsive. The home was amply supplied with appliances, bedding, and there was even a basket with dog bedding for us to use.Note that if you are someone who has difficulty you with steps, this has a steep set of steps in the middle of the house to get to the bottom floor. If you have a toddler, I would bring a baby gate for the stairs.We didn't use the kayaks, but that looked really like it would be fun. I think we'd like to come back and explore further. This lake is quiet and beautiful. You can see herons, fish, birds, water, snakes, and other wildlife.We even saw a few fireflies for the first time in many years, which we found delightful

We stayed a long weekend and had a blast. House was very clean and had everything we needed. We spent most of our time relaxing and hanging out on the deck and dock. We used the paddle boards and kayak also- fun for all ages.

The driveway was intimidating but proximity to the water was worth it. We loved how close it was to biking for kiddos and adults! The smell of incense was a bit strong in the basement but overall an amazing property. I definitely think we’ll be back!
