Even though other properties were quite close by, we felt we had all the privacy we needed, but also enough friendly faces to feel welcome. Including a neighborhood dog who became best friends with our dog! The kitchen was well stocked with accessories needed, the bathroom, while small, was easily usable, the bedding was comfy and warm and there was so many late night conversations shared by the indoor and outdoor fire place. What a cozy getaway that we hope to come back to someday! ##### MarkandRachel Stayed 3 nights in Mar 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Andrew E.

The kids loved the beds up in the loft. The place is tiny, but uses every little space well. The place is well stocked for fun with the games, firewood, kayaks, dock, lift, tv, and golf cart. We put a hammock in the backyard and it was a relaxing space. Of course, relaxing on the swinging bench looking out at the sunset was heavenly, too. We loved kayaking and my son caught several fish (and we aren’t fishermen). Aaron was quick to respond to any needs or requests. Highly recommended! ##### Andrew E.

The outside area was perfect for our toddler to run around, and there were plenty of toys already there which was great. The inside was clean and felt very spacious with the high cielings. ##### Heather M. Stayed 2 nights in May 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Tina V.

The house is very cute, with plenty of yard, so you can spend time outside without feeling cramped. I sat on the little dock and watched the sunset most nights. Very peaceful. ##### Paula H.
