Host was wonderful. Gave directions from exit which helpful. The trash dumpster was harder to find and I feel the pool rates should be told before booking. Also found beer cans in upstairs rooms and toilet upstairs was not safe to use.

If you're looking for a wonderful lake property for a family vacation, look no further. The chalet was clean, stocked and perfect for my family with three kids. We spent hours fishing (pike, bass and tons of pan fish right off the dock) and using the pontoon boat, swimming in the lake and afternoons on the sand bar. The kids enjoyed playing all the games as well. Having access to the pool and pickleball/playground was a bonus. The hot tub was great to relax in after a long day of activities. Dorene and John are phenomenal hosts and made sure everything was perfect for us. We even had a ready made campfire set up for us! Every year we take a different vacation to a lake house and everyone thought this was by far the best! We'll be back here for sure! Thank you John and Dorene!
