Very nice lake property!
We really enjoyed our stay, despite some challenges provided by Mother Nature. The property was "as advertised" and the owner was easy to work with and very responsive. This is a perfect spot for a family lake getaway.

We really enjoyed our staying at this beautiful house on the lake! The house is spacious, very clean, has a full kitchen equipped with utensils and dishes. There is a beautiful patio and absolutely gourgeous view to enjoy your coffee in the morning. The host was very quick at responding to my questions. I highly recommend this place!

Great location, even in winter
Great place to stay and we loved our time here. Clean enough; some detail cleaning that the very kind owners should expect from their cleaning team. Lower level a great place to hunker down; with no windows it would be nice to have a working fireplace for a focal point. Rooms are spacious and plenty of storage. Fun little creative nooks throughout. We suggest working up some entrance way steps or something so wet or snowy entry through the front/side door remains safe. Also, maybe a patio heater to extend the fun to the enclosed back porch. We had a blast here, very comfortable and lovely.

Family fun
Our stay at Lake Ripley was fantastic. The home is lovely, well-stocked, and offered an amazing lake view from so many rooms! Our family enjoyed the wide variety of indoor games and yard games. Adam, the owner was prompt with responses and helpful with questions before arrival. Fishing was memorable as there is an abundance and variety. Home offered paddle boards, kayaks, and all the fishing gear and supplies. We will be back!

Wonderful home away from home!
Beautiful home away from home. Beds were super comfortable, immaculate kitchen and living areas. Tons to do onsite and closeby. The fishing was great! Our kids had a blast pulling them in off the dock! My husband and I enjoyed an adventure on the two person kayak. The screen porch was a cozy spot to enjoy morning coffee as well. The host was helpful and responsive to our needs. We will definitely return, highly recommend!

Loving the Lake Life!
Wonderful and more than comfortable updated home right on the lake. My family of 6 and two friends of my teens had a wonderful week on the lake. The house had plenty of room for parents and 6 teens to be together or spread out when we needed/wanted some space. The four bedrooms and three bathrooms with the addition of a second family space in the basement is an amazing find for summer lake rentals. The fishing was great from the dock and having the use of five kayaks and a canoe made it a wonderful trip. We all enjoyed being out on the water kayaking, fishing and swimming as well as having the ability to play games and stream our favorite shows when the weather didn't allow for being outside. We also enjoyed exploring the neighboring small towns. A very peaceful location with access to everything that you would need. Communication with Adam before and during our trip was wonderfully easy. We would go back in a heartbeat.

Active area/lake, but peaceful. Neighbors are close, but we barely saw/heard anyone. The property is updated and well kept. We would definitely return!
