Jul 24, 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Great location! 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 #### Lorraine G. Aug 28, 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy We really enjoyed our stay at this clean, well appionted, family friendly property. We did not have the best weather (cloudy and cool) but made the best of the amazing out door space. The firepit was a great spot for star gazing and we had plenty of space (and equipment) for our anual family "cottage olympics"! Our host was readily availble for any questions we had.. ##### Lorraine G. Stayed 6 nights in Aug 2025 ### 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.

Sep 14, 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### A Very Well Stocked House We spent 23 nights here. 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. Stayed 23 nights in Aug 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Sander B. Jul 28, 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Geweldig genoten op een geweldige plek! 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.
