"This is a great property with lots of space. The kitchen and living spaces are very nice. The outdoor areas are spacious and beautiful. Overall, a very nice place to stay with a big family. The place was a bit dusty with lots of dead flies in the windows, probably no one had stayed here for awhile since the last time it was clean.

"The home looks just as it does in the photos. It’s very cute in an eclectic ski cabin-type of way. We arrived at night so we didn’t see the peek-a-boo view of the lake until morning. It made me wish we had an extra day to explore more of our surroundings. My pre-teen daughter and her friend enjoyed the loft area and had it to themselves. There was plenty of space, and the fact that each room had its own temperature controls allowed everyone to sleep at a temperature that suited them."

"Cute house in a great location! The yard was amazing, my dogs would have stayed out there the whole time if I would have let them! There were snacks, drinks, poop bags available, if needed … notes around the house as reminders what was expected of you, which was nice. We will totally stay again if the opportunity arises. Just a heads up, there is a couple of steps from the door to the gate for the yard, I travel with an expen, so I just set that up & the dogs just ran to the yard"

"We had a wonderful stay! The host, Emma, was fantastic with communication, responsive, helpful, and made everything easy from start to finish. It was raining heavily one day and she boxed up our delivered Amazon package in a sealed plastic bin to protect it from getting damaged. She went above and beyond and I couldn’t be any more grateful. The house was even better in person than the pictures suggested. The photos were nice, but they really don’t do the space justice! It was comfortable, welcoming, and exceeded our expectations. We truly enjoyed our stay and would happily come back again. Highly recommend!"
