It was spacious, clean and situated on a dead end road so very quiet. We absolutely loved the property and being able to use the pontoon to explore the many lakes. We also enjoyed making s’mores by the fire and relaxing on the screened in porch. It was immaculate upon checkin and communication with owner couldn’t have been better. Very quick to respond to questions. Our son caught a beautiful bass as well so he was pretty happy. Can’t wait to return. ##### Barbara S.

We came out to John’s property for my best friend’s bachelorette party and it was amazing!! The pictures online honestly do not do the place justice as it was a lot bigger and more spacious than we expected! John was very responsive and helpful with any questions we had, he gave us great recommendations, and he was very accommodating! The check in and check out process was super easy and we didn’t have any problems during our stay. We rented his pontoon out for a day and it fit all 13 of us perfectly. Our group is still raving about how great the place was and what a blast we all had. I definitely recommend staying here and would 100% come back! ##### Amber F.

Although the guest house doesn't have a view of the lake, it has everything you's need and want, with the lake just steps away (around the main house). A couple of very nice bedrooms on the main level with a big living room, a fully stocked kitchen, grill, games for outside, etc... Upstairs has more beds, a full bar area with pool table, upper deck, etc... John, the owner, is great to work with... he'll rent his pontoon, so no need to bring your own boat... and there is a really nice place to have evening fires by the lake. ##### Mike Z.

House was functional and more than enough space for a family of 6\. Well stocked kitchen,and comfortable beds. Young adults and teenagers really enjoyed the upstairs theater, pool table and cozy sleeping quarters. John was super responsive and great to deal with. We rented the pontoon from him as well and enjoyed watersporting and touring the lake. House was organized and tidy. The home has high quality appliances and tvs in every room. Would definitely return. Thanks John! ##### Brad G.

We had 6 teenagers sharing the upstairs space and the parents each had a bedroom on the main floor. We also rented the pontoon boat which was awesome for our big group. The air conditioning in the place worked great which was very nice as it was hot during our stay. John was very responsive to our requests and was kind when inquiring about a missing remote and pool ball (which were all found). The only negative was that you couldn’t see the water from the guest house but access to the water was very easy. Overall, this was a great property for a big group like ours and John was a great host. ##### Donna D. Stayed 7 nights in Jul 2023 ### 6/10 Okay #### Tamara B. Aug 31, 2023 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, location #### Guest house at Whitefish Chain gone wrong by roofing The property is well maintained and was spacious — the patio and terrace do not overlook the lake , rather look at the hosts huge home - John was responsive to the few questions I did ask but he gave No warning about roofers starting early in morning and not permitting us to sleep in or to use the porch or open deck above - access to the land and a huge fireplace by lake was accessible to us but we were gone during day thus we did not enjoy the quiet of a lake cottage- no view of lake snd hammering roof activity keep us from enjoying a quiet cottage - the price of the overnight jumped 873 - John partially refunded 2 nights stay since we only stayed Sunday to Thursday am were hurried out earlier than 10:30 departure - John asked if we wanted a refund because of the 4 morning disturbance he had not told us about - but has yet to refund what we requested ! Beautiful property - be aware porch and deck do not have lake views ! The host did not communicate to us about roofers coming - thus spoiling use of deck & porch as well quiet during the only time we were using it! Always ask about the access to lake and any repairs going on during the stay - Beautiful property … lacking lake view but lake accessible via walkway - nice fireplace at lake but no view of lake from lodging. The lack of communication re roofing disturbance and thus no use of patio / deck and no lake view from lodging lowered my rating for the Host & Stay ##### Tamara B.

Stayed 2 nights in Oct 2019 ### 10/10 Excellent #### heidi s. Aug 13, 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy Perfect guesthouse for our family of 11\. Sectional sofa is huge and very comfortable, two teenagers slept on it all week. Private doc was great for our lund fishing boat, 4 kayaks and tubes, lilypad, etc. and we rented the pontoon too which was so nice to have right there. Wished we could see the lake from the guesthouse, but it was priced accordingly. Fireplace and chairs very nice too. Refridgerator ice maker did not work but we just bought ice.Overall amazing stay and week, would definitely go back! ##### heidi s.
