Quiet cottage like water front oasis in a busy city. Hosts were great, water was warm for swimming. My only quibble would be the awkward stairs to get down to the suite. Otherwise perfect

Lovely place to stay

We really enjoyed the location. The lake is beautiful. Yesterday we saw a bald eagle from the patio. The bed is super comfortable. It was so quiet that we slept with just the screen door open. We highly recommend this location.

Relaxing destination!

My wife and I loved the location. Quiet and peaceful. We had a private patio with a hot tub we used every night. We sat on the dock every day and enjoyed the beautiful view. The host is on site if anything is needed but you wouldn’t know it as she respects everyone’s privacy. She has an on site yoga retreat and does sound bathe if you’re interested. We didn’t this time but would sign up in the future. Great place and we’d stay again with no hesitation.

This room was the perfect escape for my wife and I. The peaceful, tranquil and relaxing environment that is created here is amazing. The room itself is cozy, well thought out and has everything 2 people need. The bed is comfortable, and the kitchenette is great for small snacks and or small cooking needs. The real winner of this space is the exterior. The hot tub, the chairs, the table, the BBQ - the exterior square footage is absolutely amazing and being able to sit and sip a coffee while hearing the lake sounds makes the stay so enjoyable. BIG bonus was the use of the lake gear - we used the kayaks and went around the lake a few times. Huge bonus!

Lovely Spot

The only advice I have us to beware the mosquitos though spray was thoughtfully provided. This compact bedsit comes with a large, comfortable bed, a useful kitchenette and a very good and spacious shower/bathroom. The location is right on a smallish lake and a bonus is a wonderful dog and very helpful owner.

Perfect spot to relax and enjoy the water!

Our host was very friendly and made us feel at home. It felt very private and the deck was the perfect spot to bbq and hang out in the evenings. The lake was beautiful and warm and having access to the paddle boards was awesome as the sun left the dock after noon but you can paddle out on the lake to catch more sun. Would definitely stay here again and recommend to friends and family! Thank you!

Very cool property on the lake. Great view! Inside was very clean and comfortable. Outside was not kept up as well. Water craft such as kayaks were very dirty and not really usable. We were very surprised at how difficult it was to access the suite. A lot of steep, cement stairs without handrails. Lower steps had a very large step height. Difficult to bring belongings in and out. Owner was very friendly and personable. Would suggest more transparency on accessibility in the site description.
