the home had everything we needed for the vacation.
10 / 10Outstanding·Jun 2025
Lovely house with everything you could need or want for a relaxing lakeside getaway! Had a little hiccup getting through the community gatehouse but the property manager was extremely responsive and we were through in no time. The house itself is beautifully renovated and we enjoyed sitting sitting out on the back deck, paddling around the lake, and watching the deer go by. The downstairs TV/game room was great to have on the day it rained. It was just a short drive into town so it was a nice way to feel removed from everything but still have restaurants, shops, etc. all nearby. Would stay again!
10 / 10Outstanding·Feb 2025
We LOVED the blue canoe! So cozy and the decor made the whole place absolutely perfect! It had everything we needed and more! The hot tub was so relaxing, the fireplace helped give all the relaxing feels we were looking for. We made so many memories. We will definitely be returning to this perfect getaway!

Everything about the Blue Canoe house was perfect. Super clean. Very well organized. It was just right for a Thanksgiving getaway for our family of 4.
