Great place
We enjoyed our stay very much. The house was stocked with tons of trash bags, dish soap, laundry soap, and random condiments in the fridge luckily because we forgot mustard. The only complaint I would have, which is completely out of the hands of the owners, is that the stretch of water we were on was soooo busy (4th of July week), we hung out on the dock a few days and at the end of it you could feel seasick almost from all of the wakes. I guess another thing was we were worried that the trash hadn’t been picked up from the curb from the previous tenants and we just hoped that no animals would get into our bags that were stacked on top of the bins.

Great spot on the lake
We enjoyed the house and out time on the lake. Really appreciated the use of the kayaks without charge. The house was really clean and had everything we needed. Michelle was great and responded right away to anything that came up. Hoping to go back soon!

Perfect Lake House
We could not have asked for a more perfect cabin for our group’s long weekend visit. Our hosts went out of their way to welcome us, and the cabin was well appointed with everything we needed. We were comfortable and felt right at home. The extra touches by our hosts really knocked this one out of the ball park. We would definitely stay again, and would recommend to anyone else looking for a quiet cabin perfectly situated on a beautiful lake.
