The home was beautiful with its view over looking the lake. The house was clean and comfortable with lots of room. Getting back and forth from town was easy and we enjoyed going to Octoberfest! The water level in the lake was too low for a swim but we enjoyed just sitting on the doc watching the birds.

Very nice house in a beautiful location on the lake. Communication with owner was excellent. My only concern was the stairs being very steep. The master bedroom and bathroom on the main level was a life saver for our older family member. We had a wonderful time!!

Family Vacation

We loved the house and property! The bedrooms were very large so everyone had their own space. We had the best week and one of our daughters actually got engaged while we were there. I don’t think the one set of neighbors are happy when renters are there but overall it was really great!

Family Fun Weekend

Overall, the experience was pleasant. Beautiful views, plenty of seating, and all the amenities that one would expect from a lake house. However, the Wi-Fi was extremely unreliable which made very difficult to watch a movie with the family.

This is a nice property in a good location. Quiet and peaceful, however it is a bit on the small side. We had a group of 10 and it was a bit cozy.

Good house for 5 men. Fair number of stairs to dock but negotiable. Could use more lighting in kitchen. Had to use a flashlight to see stove controls. Great covered porch overlooking water and nice boathouse. All in all a good spot.

Nice place to relax.

The spot on the lake was perfect, not a lot of boat traffic or even jet ski traffic. The kids could swim all day or jump in an inflatable boat and paddle out with no real worry of water vehicles.
