Host was friendly and accommodating. Everything was clean and kitchen was well stocked for use. Loved that there were throw blankets to use and the grill was already set up for us with paper towels, grill cleaner, etc. House sits on a quiet little road and has a large back yard on the water. Swimming was great! Loved the chairs on the dock for sitting and watching the boat traffic! Dock is in a no wake area so no big waves while swimming. Overall, this places gives grandma and grandpas cabin on the lake. It was homey and comfortable! Would definitely stay again! Only minor thing is the showers could use an upgrade or atleast a fresh coat of paint and good scrub.

Overall stay was pleasant. A portion of the open backyard has a relaxing swinging bench with great views overlooking the lake and nightlife of the small town in the evenings. Also nice to sit and lay down on the dock/pier.A few things can be improved. Outdoor grill in bad condition, had to clean up what looks like bird poop inside the grill - should be cleaned regularly or have cleaning utensils for renters to use. I love to grill and if you’re planning on grilling a lot, use aluminum foil or deep aluminum food tray like I did to cook. You definitely don’t want to cook on the dirty rusty grill grates.The property is a nice getaway from city life! Simple furnishings and sometimes that’s all you need. Property owner was very nice and communicative!Enjoy making family memories that will last! Stay unplugged and take in the beauty of nature.

Slice of Heaven

We had the place for a weekend. It was so cozy and a perfect location! The weather ended up being bad, but the place was a stocked with board games for the family to play. We also appreciated all of the kitchen items being there for cooking. Everything we needed was there. We will definitely return to this little slice of heaven!

Relaxing Stay on the Lake

Our family enjoyed our stay on the lake. The cabin is charming and comfortable. The dock is perfect for sitting with a drink and a book. I enjoyed the swing looking out at the view. Little dog enjoyed all the smells and the sticks.I highly recommend the shower experience—tons of hot water and excellent pressure.

This was a great property for our 2 families and our fur babies! Our pet sitter fell through at the last minute and Russ was so accommodating. The properties were so cute and charming. We did a puzzle upstairs and watched the hawks, ducks, and fish from upstairs. Would definitely rent again!
