What Guests Are Saying

5.0 26 reviews

Guests rave about the private dock with string lights at night, where families fish for catfish and bass, kayak at sunset, and gather around the waterfront fire pit for s'mores. The home itself feels brand new and thoughtfully stocked — from life jackets and booster seats to a high chair, toys, and a well-equipped kitchen — so you can truly just pack your clothes and settle in. The screened porch by the water and the basement game room (ping pong, basketball) give everyone space to spread out, while the little beach and calm lake access win over kids and adults alike.

One of the better hosts Ive had on Airbnb. Super responsive, property exactly as advertised, and overall just a wonderful stay. We had a minor cooking situation with the oven and they had a maintenance person there to fix it within 45 minutes. I was quite impressed. Thank you for an exceptional experience

We had a great stay and really enjoyed the house!

We had a great stay and really enjoyed the house! The private lake access was definitely a highlight, and the kids absolutely loved being able to spend so much time out on the water. The house had everything we needed for a comfortable stay, which made the trip really easy and relaxing. It was a great spot for a family lake getaway, and we’d definitely recommend it!

This Lake House was perfect for our Family Vacation. The number of rooms and bathrooms were very good. The lake was a short walk away and at night it was lit with strings of lights that was lovely. Down to the firepit where we made s’mores over a fire. They provided so many items that we didn’t realize (child size life jackets and booster seats for the little ones.) Maybe I should have checked the included info.) The kayaks were enjoyed by many and they offered info on pontoon boat rental that made a two day rental perfect. The games and toys for my grandchildren were great as well. The pool, which is a short drive from the house was wonderful. My adult children raved about this house as being perfect which was good since I was the one who looked for and found it. Our week was cut a day short for outdoor activity because of the Canadian fires but we played games inside and read. There were a few small issues that were addressed quickly and nothing interfered with our fun. The only negative we could include was that the kitchen is a little small for such a big group. (Not a lot of counter space) but that was a minor thing. We would stay here again!
