We really enjoyed our stay at the Getaway! Very clean and well stocked. We had everything we needed during our stay. The outdoor space is amazing and so relaxing. We will definitely be back! ##### Emma D. Stayed 4 nights in Jul 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Cole C K. Aug 12, 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Family Wedding - Accommodations My cousin had a wedding 10 minutes from the accommodations, so we opted for this excellent property instead of a hotel. The kids and adults had such a great time, and though I heard the hotel was nice, it doesn't beat the opportunity to wake up for a swim/paddle on the lake. 10/10 would recommend. Hosts were extremely responsive. I actually love that they live on the property as well. It makes for a true vacation rental experience. ##### Cole C K.

Andrea, who was nearby, was very helpful in quickly answering a few questions we had about the internet, the thermostat and the TV service. She supplied us with some kitchen staples when we ran out of them. Overall we enjoyed our stay and would recommend her rental. ##### Bill P.

Alles klopte aan deze accomodatie. Contact met de verhuurder was goed en snel. Super vriendelijke mensen! Bij aankomst bleek het allemaal netjes schoon en vooral lekker ruim te zijn. We mochten van alles gebruikmaken. Het huis is van alle gemakken voorzien. We konden de kano's en de waterfiets gewoon pakken. Het uitzicht op Forrest Lake is geweldig. In de avonden konden we een vuurtje maken op de vuurplaats. Heel gezellig! Neem wel muggenspray mee. Maar dat is sowieso een goed idee in deze omgeving! Een aanrader voor een geweldige ervaring! ##### Sander B.
