Great stay!

Great week with family - hanging out, hiking, boating, enjoying the dock, great theme night meals!
10.0 / 10.0Outstanding·Jun 2025
We had a wonderful stay! The house is in a quiet, private-feeling cove with a beautiful view. There is a public dock nearby, but it was used only one day while we were there and it was just kids playing in the water. The host was quick to respond and remedy when we had a minor issue with the hot tub. The house was clean, comfortable, and well-stocked and we had a blast hanging out on the dock and swimming. We couldn't figure out how to turn the AC down downstairs so it was too cold for hanging out (but comfortable for sleeping!). We would definitely stay here again!
6.0 / 10.0Average·Oct 2024
Overall we had an enjoyable stay, however the primary refrigerator was unusable (would not cool; the freezer seemed fine). Fortunately, a secondary refrigerator in the basement was available but somewhat inconvenient. The house amenities were enjoyed although we were unable to access the boat house even after attempts to communicate with the owner.
