It’s so nice to have a home away from home to celebrate. It’s spacious, clean, has a well stocked kitchen, plenty of bedrooms for my extended family, and has plenty of things to do for the little kids. We also traveled with our little dog, and the well lit exterior made taking the dog out at night very easy. Kevin is also very responsive to my questions.

Our group included a toddler and three 8 year olds. It was the perfect place for our stay. The house is on a quiet street looking over a pond. It was comfy and clean and cozy. The beds were comfortable. The kitchen was well stocked for cooking. And whenever I had a question, Kevin was highly responsive and helpful. Checking in and out was easy, and we would easily come back during any season. ##### Adam S. Stayed 4 nights in Dec 2023 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Jesse W.

I stayed here with my family for the holidays. There's plenty of amenities in the kitchen, lots of space in the home and it has a wonderful & peaceful atmosphere. We've stayed at this home multiple times over the last 5 years and look forward to it every year for Christmas. Kevin is a tremendously gracious host, responsive, and offered us flexibility for our stay. We continue to look forward to making his home a part of our holiday tradition each year. Thank you Kevin! ##### Jesse W. Stayed 3 nights in Dec 2023 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Elizabeth M.

Plenty of space to sit together or spread out. Inside or outside. Very quiet location. Everything was clean and well stocked. The only thing to take note of is there is only air conditioning in one bedroom. The rest of the house does not have AC and we had to look for fans. The whole house exhaust fan worked okay to take the edge off. You also need to cross a very small country road to get to the lake. It is not attached to the actual property. Not much room for sitting there as a group. We had a wonderful day in spite of that. Thanks so much! We would return ##### Elizabeth M.

The location is perfect. So quiet and peaceful. Just far enough to getaway from the busy city but close enough that it's such an easy drive. The house was everything we imagined and more. On the days getting caught in the rain there is plenty to do in the game room/ basement but the real gem is the lake across the road. Seeing all the deer was so much fun. Glad we opted to stay here rather than the busier area at White Lake, although it's close enough to enjoy the great restaurants over there. The only regret is not booking more days. Kevin was a great host and was easy to contact for any questions we had and for when I stupidly left the car lights on when loading and our battery died. Be forewarned cell service can be very shoddy in the house but we enjoyed being disconnected for the few days we were there. Looking forward to staying there again. ##### Christopher C.

This house was exceptional. Everything anyone could want and more. The lake is literally across the street and the view from the deck is just beautiful. It rained one day and we spent the afternoon in the basement playing pool and foosball. Rode to Woodstock and did a little shop browsing and had dinner at one of the local restaurants. Walked along the wooded path in back of the house. So peaceful. And deer came into the yard on the morning we were going to leave! They also passed by on the road every day while we watched from the kitchen table. Oh! Almost forgot. The beds are soooooo comfortable. Slept like a baby. We are already making plans to come back! ##### Julia M. Stayed 3 nights in Sep 2023 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Robin H.

We had so much fun kayaking, fishing, hiking, swimming and exploring the area. We saw a ton of deer, lots of does and their fawns, and they were so close. We enjoyed the game room, putting a puzzle together, reading and relaxing by the fire. Great family vacation! ##### Melissa P.
