Loved the house! The view is amazing!
10 / 10Outstanding·Nov 2025
The location did not disappoint. On a beautiful lake. Very quiet. We spent a lot of time just sitting on the dock with a cup of coffee or a glass of wine. Our group was compromised of 10 adults and one 6 yr old. My niece was thrilled with the bunk beds. In the same room with the bunk beds are some books for reading and a reading nook. She absolutely loved the nook. The sunroom is absolutely beautiful. Tastefully decorated. And the view from the sunroom is stunning. I did reach out to the host with some feedback separate from this review and she was receptive to that feedback. Our family totally enjoyed our stay. To please everyone is not easy or even expected, but in this case, everyone including my 6 yr old niece enjoyed the house and the grounds.
