Beautiful and clean, we love this warm and inviting getaway for all. Plenty of room and don’t worry about bringing anything, I’m pretty sure you will find whatever you need , we can’t say enough about this wonderful home. We only got away for a couple of days to enjoy the bike trails with our besties but it was perfect except we had rain after our first day but we played games and just relaxed and enjoyed the scenery. Thank you to our host , everyone was perfect!

This place was amazing! It was clean and comfortable! We used the deck a lot and the fire pit one evening! We sat in the evening and listened to the owls hoot back and forth and then got to see one fly across the water in the morning! It’s an easy trip to town! We totally would rent this again!

Great space to gather, make food, watch football game and appreciate Lake Sara. Kitchen one of the best I’ve ever seen in a rental house.

The Bunkhouse was the perfect place for us to gather this Christmas. Having a beautiful Christmas tree lit up in the family room was a bonus! We enjoyed throwing rocks in the lake with our two grandsons and hanging out around the campfire with everyone during the warmer than usual weather which was unexpected. The cabin was so well designed and with all the careful details which made our stay so easy and comfortable. We really appreciated the cleanliness and my 8 yr. old grandson was able to fulfill a longtime dream of sleeping on the top bunk in a room full of bunk beds! This was my 2nd stay here and we’ll be back for sure.The Freeds
