From all the water vehicles (john boat, canoe, kayaks (2 person and 1 person). A shed filled with life jackets, floats, and everything else you could possibly need to enjoy the lake. Great gas gill and all the tools we needed to cook and plate everything up. Very well stocked kitchen with tons of spices. Would highly recommend this place! The appliances are a little dated but it is what you would expect with a lake house. We will be back! ##### Jason T. Stayed 3 nights in Jun 2024 ### 8/10 Good #### tina p.

Jul 11, 2023 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### July 5th-9th Stay Our vacation was one to be remembered. The house sits out away from everything which brings on peaceful nights. Although it’s away from everything, it’s a quick commute to most attractions that our family wanted to see. The only downsides in my opinion would be the house seemed to have a hard time staying cool, especially in the upstairs loft area and the neighbor having some dogs that didn’t appreciate us being there. Overall, my family had a wonderful time during our stay! ##### Meka C. Stayed 4 nights in Jul 2023 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Ashley N.

We also loved how there were plenty of water activities provided! Plenty of fishing rods, chairs, rafts, etc. Plus firewood! The house was adorable and clean upon arrival. Host was extremely responsive and friendly. We would love to come back! Thanks again! ##### Ashley N. Stayed 5 nights in Jun 2024 ### 6/10 Okay #### Steve H. Jul 23, 2023 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication Disliked: Listing accuracy #### A Work in Progress The 1st 3 days we had a contractor on-site building a fence, Master suite had a strong mold smell, water heater was too small to handle 5 guests showering. The #1 issue is no air conditioning. It was not in the listing at the time I reserved it. The house indoor temp was mid 80's the evening we arrived. We had a couple days of upper 80's outdoors, which made the house unbearable. We left a day early due to all these things combined. Disappointed and Frustrated would be the summary. Too expensive for the product received. ##### Steve H. Stayed 6 nights in Jul 2023 ### 8/10 Good #### yakov f. Aug 8, 2023 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Enjoyed the stay, would come back We enjoyed our stay. The manager was very responsive to our messages, and Mark the owner lived nearby and did everything to fix little things and make our stay enjoyable. The house was large and comfortable enough for our party of 5 adults and 4 boys. The house has no A/C. Luckily, the weather cooperated: top 82 F in the afternoon, and the house cooled down sufficiently by bed time. The 2nd floor rooms were at all times warmer than the 1st floor ones but still OK. Strangely, there were no mosquitoes around and not many other flying nuisances. Rooms: 1st floor: a very tiny and dark master bedroom with full bath (the most private BR in the house), and a huge king-size "main" BR with 3 windows and a beautiful lake view. The 2nd bathroom/shower is outside the main BR. The 2nd floor has two connecting rooms, one with privacy door and one without privacy. The noise isolation between the floors is practically absent. The kitchen is big and sufficiently equipped. The big dining room doubles as a laundry room - strange but OK. The deck overlooks the lake and is very nice in the morning and around sunset; too hot in the direct sun between 2 and 7 pm. Boys used the blue 2-seater kayak to reach the small kiddie public beach on the opposite side of the lake. The hot water tank in the house is small: enough for 2-3 people to take a shower but not for 4th or 5th. There were some other things in the house that could have been better, but nothing major. I'd come back. ##### yakov f.
