We really enjoyed our stay here! We loved how well decorated and comfortable the house was. It was also very well stocked with anything you may have forgotten. We would definitely stay again!
Just the right amount of privacy and activities available. The home was decorated so beautifully and I appreciated it being fully stocked! I will definitely be back!
We came to town to stay near the eclipse, and this cabin was great! It was super cozy and comfortable! We enjoyed the lake views and relaxing atmosphere! If we’re ever adventuring this way again, we’ll be back!
Thanks!
This was our 4th year of staying at the house. The house is so comfortable. Nicely decorated and has all the essentials for a great stay. The lake access makes it so peaceful, sitting by the fire pit or doing some fishing.
Tom and Salisa are great hosts.
Great cabin that was super clean and comfortable and had everything we needed for a relaxing stay. It was a tad close to the neighbors and there was some traffic on the road, but expected when it’s a mix of permanent and seasonal properties.
This place gelt like home. Everything was perfect. The neighbors were griendly and the home was so aforable and perfect. We will definitely be back. Perfect half way point to meet my sister. The fishing was great also.
If you don't fall totally in love with this house and this view of the lake, something is truly wrong! Easy check in and out too. Can't wait to come again
When we arrived, we were amazed at this hidden gem. The entire place had an inviting vibe, from the bedrooms to the dock. It was beyond comfortable, with several areas to sit and catch up with family. The hosts could not have set this place up any better. We will return next year.
We come to the area regularly to visit family. Staying at the Lake House makes everything a little bit better. We enjoy watching the birds on the lake and hearing the songbirds in the yard. Peaceful!
