This was a very well-equipped place- great kitchen, bedding and beds very comfortable. The little touches were well thought out. I appreciated the yoga mat and beach towels and the cute little owl decor! The hosts were excellent, communicated quickly, even providing me with a battery-operated light when the neighborhood power went out during a windstorm! Lovely, quiet location. Will definitely be back!

I absolutely loved it here! Although I was on the 2nd floor, it was super quiet - I never once heard anyone below me. I was there is December and the space was very cozy. They even set up a small Christmas tree for me. The kitchen is well-stocked and they added special touches here and there to make it feel homey. And the location - so good! In 2 minutes you're walking in a forest alongside a beautiful lake. It was a gorgeous hike. Thank you Jody! I hope to be back.David

This is a great, clean property to stay at. The bedroom and pull out couch were very comfortable. You do have to climb a flight of stairs to the unit. Not a problem for us. Very quiet, beautiful location.
