Sep 29, 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Weekend away with our Auburn student We had a beautiful weekend on the lake with our son. It’s a small cottage with beautiful front porch. Owner lives next door and allows you to use dock and paddle boats. Grill came in handy. No dishwasher but for three people not a big deal to wash dishes. Bring your own lake towels. Plenty of space to park two vehicles. Highly recommend! ##### Theresa C.

Communication with the host was seamless—clear, friendly, and responsive from start to finish. The location couldn’t have been better—peaceful, beautiful views, and right on the water. The place was clean, well-stocked, and had everything we needed for a comfortable stay. We made some great memories here and would definitely come back. Highly recommend! ##### Lucas S.
