If the vehicle you bring is not 4-Wheel or All-Wheel Drive, please be aware of the potential risks accessing the property when snow is present.

DOCK – You can expect the dock to be available for use Memorial Weekend through Labor Day Weekend. Please only use the dock for 15-minute loading and unloading of passengers.

Spacious, comfortable, modern, and a beautiful setting! 7 adults enjoyed plenty of room to relax. One adult has some mobility concerns and the space accommodated her needs well. Beds were very comfortable, kitchen was well stocked, linens and towels were plentiful. Highly recommend this space for families to enjoy a lovely vacation on the lake!

Would definitely come here again. The house and the lake are both very beautiful
6 / 10Average·Oct 2025
The lake view is lovely. We wish the dock hadn’t been taken out for the season. Helpful suggestions - The kitchen needs to be reorganized and some equipment replaced. Especially the dinner dishes and pots and pans. Dishwasher doesn’t work as well as it should. Lightning in the bedrooms and bathrooms was not sufficient. Bedrooms need bedside lamps. The living room also needs additional non-ceiling level lighting. The living room photo on the site is not accurate. There were no side chairs in the space during our stay. The management company was very responsive when I reached out with questions.
