Aug 11, 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Lakeside retreat We enjoyed our stay at this property, which was situated right on the lakefront. The house was clean and the rooms spacious. There were baby gates on both stairs, which is great if there are younger children. The rooms and living spaces were also split over three levels which gave a lot of privacy. The host responded quickly to our questions. Overall I would recommend this property. ##### Colleen F. Stayed 3 nights in Aug 2025 Verified ### 8/10 Good #### Jennifer S. Jul 14, 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy Very nice place on the lake. Very pricey for the two of us for the weekend. Bathrooms very small. Upstairs bedrooms were hot and could use a boost from air conditioners. Basement very cool but damp smelling. ##### Jennifer S.
