Perfect Getaway
My partner and I had such a lovely time at this home. The house interior is beautiful and spacious. The couch is so comfy! The views were amazing. It rained the whole weekend, and we weren't even bothered as the home itself was so nice to spend time in. I highly recommend sipping coffee and looking out over the lake to get those relaxing vacation vibes started. The kitchen was the most well stocked one I've experienced, it had everything we needed to cook. Host was quickly responsive, and their departure instructions were simple to follow, and completely reasonable. 100 percent would stay again.

Lake vacation
The house was very nice, well spread out. The lake though, absolutely gorgeous! The water was so clean, we heard the loons, and saw bald eagles. The town was not far away so if needed to run to store it was great. Great vacation!

A vacation in Paradise!
Everything was just wonderful. The premises have everything (I mean EVERYTHING!) a family would need for this magical place. We and our grandchildren and two daughters had the best time. My one granddaughter (5 years old) woke up Monday morning and told her mother “we have to come back here again mommy. We had so much fun.” The place is extremely comfortable as there is plenty of air conditioning for each room for those warm evenings. Games for the children, the fire pit with sticks provided for s’mores. The gas grill for rib eye steaks, oh my!A ride in a canoe! Giffords ice cream, along with miniature golf. My daughters went there when they were young girls too. What fun was had. Memories were made that will never be forgotten. We will most definitely return in the future. Hopefully for longer next time.

Chaplin-Boyd Vacation 2023
This was one of the most relaxing properties I've ever had the pleasure of staying. Very rustic. Great location. The hosts were very responsive to any needs and questions. I would definitely recommend a floating device for the lake. We had one that fit 6 and it was so fun to float on the lake all day. We fished and kayaked. The boathouse had remnants of wild life so it could have been cleaned out a little better and the hammock was really dirty but otherwise I highly recommend staying here if you want to relax with a beautiful view all day.

Another Enjoyable Stay
This was our fourth stay at this lake house. We enjoy it every year no matter what the weather throws at us. We appreciate that there have been many upgrades over the years. We also appreciate how responsive the owners are if a concern arises. It now is part of our family history so it holds a special place in our hearts. Thank you Michelle and Beth

Great
It is a beautiful lake setting with a great beach area. My kids and grandkids swam and Kayaked everyday the weather permitted. Water is not deep for a long way out, so no worries about the smaller kids getting in over their head. A couple of the kids did a lot of fishing and great success with sunfish, yellow perch and really nice bass. Cabin is spacious and great deck.

Good house, needs more maintenance during the season
The house itself is beautiful, great location, and perfect for a larger group of adults and children. My family stayed here for my brother's wedding, and we recognize that we were staying in the house at the end of the season. But it's clear that the property isn't necessarily examined closely and maintained during the season. Maggots were crawling out of the woodstove, likely due to some animal in the chimney. We completely ran out of propane for the hot water heaters. And we found a heavy wooden door, which was not screwed in with proper screws to support its weight, had gone through a lot of use and was loose on its hinges, and it ended up falling on my mom's foot during our stay. The owners were quick to respond to these issues when we brought them up, but it would be nice if the owners checked in on maintaining the house during the season so those staying in the fall don't have to deal with these issues. Overall though, we enjoyed the house.
