10 / 10Outstanding·Jul 2026
We had a wonderful time at this beautiful property by the water. Sitting by the water drinking our morning coffee was very relaxing. The dogs played by the water and there was plenty of space in the yard to set up their leads. We explored the nearby area and found a nice bike path around Salubrious Point. Clayton is a charming little town not far away with many restaurants and shops that we liked. The house was very clean and the bed was comfortable. Carrie was quick to respond to any questions we had. I would recommend this property.

The property was perfect for us. Beautiful setting. Comfortable beds, sufficient dinnerware. The outdoor furniture could have been cleaner, but I get it we are on a lake with lots of bugs and spiders.
8 / 10Excellent·Jun 2026
We really enjoyed the peace of the property and the area. Check-in was easy, and access was a breeze. Very nice older home and enough space for everyone we had. We were warned of the bugs around the lake, but we did learn firsthand that if you leave a window cracked at dusk and a light on, you will be visited by a lot of bugs. Other than the local bugs, the stay was peaceful and needed for our family. The smaller kayaks were a nice addition that we did not have to rent, and we used them a lot. The larger kayaks were too filled with spiders to use, though. We used the kitchen every day, and it was so well stocked, the beds were so comfortable, we slept like never before, it seemed. Well-kept and well-prepped house. Would recommend it to others coming to the area.
