Aug 15, 2024 Liked: Check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Newly updated, a little quirky House was nice and new updated, but missing some basic: cleaning supplies, plunger, end tables in bedrooms. Disappointed front yard was not mowed and thistles were growing over onto dock. Perfect for pets that front yard is fenced in, but be careful as the house is next to the highway. Very noisy. I loved the hot tub and having laundry on site. The lake was nice, very small and muck bottom. ##### michelle g. Stayed 4 nights in Jul 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Kim D. Oct 6, 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy We did a girls weekend at this lake house and it was wonderful! Perfect setting for what we wanted. It was close to town for groceries and dinners. The house was perfect for us with the internet hot tub and lake view! Would highly recommend staying here our host mike was also wonderful to deal with! ##### Kim D. Stayed 3 nights in Oct 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Matthew N. Feb 23, 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Nice place on lake Great place! 4 stars for location simply because its quite close to Highway 37 which can be a bit noisy when outside, but really not a big deal. ##### Matthew N.
