Gorgeous retreat with multiple comfy and clear views of the lake, large trees, and bird songs for nature lovers but all the comforts of town within a few minutes. Hosts were responsive and had everything we needed when we realized we’d forgotten our own (wine opener, hair dryer, etc.). Would definitely stay again!

Check in was super easy! House was cleaned and looked just like the picture. Beds were super comfortable. The house was very roomy and warming. The upper deck was nice and the view of the lake was beautiful! We brought our pontoon boat and docked it at their pier and that made it more fun! Overall, our stay was very nice and I'd definitely stay there again!! The hosts were very fast with responding.

Normally a great location, but currently too noisy

The house was quite nice, and the view was perfect. However, I was unaware that the neighboring lot was an *active* construction site. The first day was pretty manageable, with constant nail guns in the background and the intermittent buzz of chop saws. Occasionally, sawdust would float down on us while we were chatting on the patio. The second morning, they brought in heavy machinery to excavate a well, which significantly increased noise. The final morning, I was awoken by the sound of a Bobcat-mounted jackhammer being used just outside.I imagine under normal circumstances, it would be *perfect*, but I can't really recommend it until the construction ends. Side note, the second bedroom could *really* use a small table or something. There is nowhere to sit a phone or glasses when going to sleep.

Beautiful view

This property was very nice and has incredible views. It was so nice sitting on the various decks relaxing and taking in the beautiful views of the lake. I was sitting on the lower deck and an eagle flew right over me. We loved everything about it, the only complaint was the noise coming from the neighbor next door and various lawn maintenance workers. Almost every day there was some noise going on and was a little bit of a problem. I would definitely recommend as long as they can do something about all the noise.

Quick weekend on the lake

Great little lake house that fit our family of 4 for a quick weekend. Nicely remodeled. Owner was very quick to respond to questions and accommodate a couple requests for us. The best part was hanging out on the deck and enjoying the lake view and breeze with extended family who were staying at a hotel.

Nice lake house, just as advertised

Only issue we had is that the owner asked us to pay 90 on top of the usual cleaning fees. The reason given to us was that bugs had entered the house. The house was ina wooded area which was full of bugs as usual during summer. Apart from that, it's a fine placemb
