We really liked the house! It had everything and was exactly as described. We regret not being able to enjoy it as much as we would have liked due to the bad weather we experienced. The host was very attentive and recommended places for us to visit.

This house was absolutely amazing! There was so much to do inside the house and outside! The inside of the house was big and open and had everything you could need. The outside of the house with the hammock to relax in, fire pit to gather at night to make s'more's and the hot tub to enjoy daytime or night time was a great feature. We spent all day each day down by the dock just floating in the lake, kayaking, paddle boarding, and taking the canoe out fishing. The whole family had the best time ever! This house really had everything you needed and checked all the boxes! I was looking for a lake house to spend the weekend and came across this house and it was exactly what I had imagined! The whole family kept talking about how much fun this place was and how we can’t wait to come back. Memories were made that will last a life time and will be talked about for years to come. The host was absolutely welcoming and made sure we were comfortable and was available if we needed anything. If you are looking for an awesome place to hangout out doors for the weekend this place is definitely it! 10/10 would recommend to anyone!

The house itself is amazing. Then there were so many things to keep us entertained. We stayed for 4 days and our kids were never bored. The lake seemed kind of scary, but once the kids fell in off the paddleboard, they started to enjoy it. The location is very quiet, none of the everyday traffic noises we're used to hearing. Staying here has been a great experience for us. If we are ever back in town, we'll definitely book here again :)
