Nov 9, 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Simply loved it! This property is extremely comfortable! The location was great, in a small community that was quiet with minimal traffic, and close to all the restaurants and fall attractions I had planned to visit. The house is really well equipped for a rental-Alexa, every kitchen item you could need, tv’s in every room, and more! Cinthia was very responsive and attentive, too! Definitely want to stay again! ##### Brandi T. Stayed 4 nights in Nov 2024 Verified ### 10/10 Excellent #### Meredith J. Aug 10, 2023 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Beautiful lake cabin for a large group I booked this property for a long weekend with a group of 9 women and this house was perfect for our needs! Plenty of bedrooms for sleeping, and the kitchen/living area was great for hanging out. The property is also in a prime location--it is a short drive to local breweries, the public beach, and other lake attractions. I also appreciated how clean the property was when we arrived and that the owner provided everything we needed, including linens, towels, dishes, etc. Very convenient! Cinthia was also in frequent contact to make sure our stay went smoothly and to get everything ready for us. I absolutely recommend booking this property for a vacation to the lake! ##### Meredith J.

Aug 13, 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location Disliked: Listing accuracy #### Nice stay in a spacious house (with a few hiccups) We found the house to be generally much nicer than what the pictures showed. It was comfortable and spacious for our family of 6\. With that said, there were so many HOA rules (and threats of fines). We were disappointed that the advertised sandy beach was inaccessible to renters. A few other surprises (invasive cameras and connected devices) that make it that we'll probably choose a different property for our next family trip. ##### Linda P.

Your timely responses were very much appreciated. This house was clean and has everything you would need. Just to note the main bedroom is on the main floor with three large bedrooms downstairs. Each bedroom has a large tv and a heater, in case you like it a little warmer, even with the house heater on. ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/daff6f26-3457-4c1c-88f1-fc836d8c164f-1764593592080.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/85c7b340-d3e0-4ddf-8719-748d3ffea42d-1764593590995.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/c8c508d9-20c4-476c-8dab-d49817ffaed3-1764593590998.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ##### Diana P.

We had great communication with the host before arrival and on one occasion during the stay. The community is very quiet and calm. Great for families looking to enjoy the lake and not there to party, perfect for us. Would highly recommend this home to anyone looking for a quiet getaway just off the lake! ##### Bryan S.

Rooms where clean and well sized. Living room and kitchen had everything and anything you could possibly need. Check in and check out was a breeze and host was more than accommodating. For boating there is a marina down the street that makes it super easy to launch. We will definitely be back! !!!! ##### Nicolay G.
