Fantastic lake house. We really enjoyed our stay. The host had good communication. The location was very central and had all the amenities needed. Neat and clean. Lots of space and an amazing view from the deck over the beautiful lake. Would highly recommend and would definitely stay again. Thank you.

Perfect spot right on the lake. Super quiet. House is comfortable.
10 / 10Outstanding·Apr 2025
We stayed for three nights and it didn't stop raining! But the outdoor deck right on to the lake would be stunning in nice weather. Some areas of the house have been renovated and the photos of the property are accurate. Spacious enough for a large family. Plenty of parking. Good location near the gondola/zorb etc.
6 / 10Average·Nov 2025
The house had a beautiful view and was well maintained. I would say that there was an overpowering musty odor. Maybe we were the first guests in a while? I grew up going to lake cottages in the summer so am used to slightly musty smells but this was a little extreme. Otherwise it was a lovely spot.
