Clean, very nice, beautiful lake. There are steps to lake because of the steepness of the land. Children loved the kayaks. House very nice. Loved the view from dining room- all lake. Everyone said they would like to come back.

Amazing Property
I couldn't have picked a better rental property. It accommodated all of my family. They had a Christmas tree which was perfect because we visited during the holidays. They had every amenity you could think of. We were not far from a local store. This property was beautiful and well decorated. Will book this property again.

Family Christmas vacation
We enjoyed our family holiday in your lovely home. The house was amazing and the location couldn’t have been better. We felt the house was top of the line and the kitchen had everything we could possibly need. The only small issue we had was the couches and chairs did not have that comfortable cozy, curl up in front of the fireplace feel. We plan on being back next year.

Everything was great! Plenty of room for 22 adults. It has all the cooking utensils you will need, well stocked with house hold items like toilet paper, trash bags. Some rooms dont have tvs and its hard exercise getting to and from the dock but its still a 10!

Great Property - October 12-15
Great weekend property, extended family with 4 kids and spouses plus 7 grandchildren. House had everything we needed for sleeping, cooking and outdoor activities. It was convenient for all our kids and close to a store in Arley if we forgot anything. Evans Marine and Dunkin Bridge Marina are close for pontoon boat rental. We’ll definitely rent again.
