    We had a wonderful time. Very quiet and relaxing. Wi-Fi worked fine. The 2 tv's in the living room areas worked just fine but could not get the tv in the bedroom to work. Overall it was a very enjoyable and relaxing time. Sure we will be going back again.

    Guys Fishing Trip
    Dad and sons enjoyed 5 day fishing trip. Fish were biting and time together was great. Cabin was very private (gated), modernly remodeled, clean, comfortable, relaxing and had everything we needed. Entire grounds of property well maintained (mowed with no tall grass shore to shore). Drive to Independence very short trip. Highly recommend for peace and quiet away from work and city life.

    Loved the location!
    We loved our stay in the Lake House. The photos were very accurate, and the whole place was nice and clean. We saw so many turtles and frogs in the pond and our daughter loved the paddle boat. It was also easy to use the dock on the Wapsi side to get our canoe in and out. It is a very peaceful, quiet setting but still close to the conveniences of town. We hope to return!

    Very relaxing
    We had a wonderful stay. It was private, quiet, and relaxing. The setting is beautiful. The house is comfortable, clean, and nicely furnished. The house has splendid views on both sides and has multiple windows to enjoy the scenery. The one item that would have made the views better is if the windows had been cleaned.

    Great stay! Nice, private property
    My family (plus pup) has a great stay at this property. Everything was as pictured, and the cabin was very clean. We enjoyed the fishing and the kayaks for a week away.

    We love the privacy of the area. The dog ran all week. Quiet and surrounded by water. If the fishing had been better, it would have been perfect.
