10/10 Excellent

"The house was a true beauty. A perfect combination of the Old and the New. It felt like stepping into another time with modern conveniences. Very spacious and comfy. We had everything we needed and more. The host was very kind, helpful, and always available for questions. I highly recommend this home, especially those who want a mix of town and country."

"Great trip"

Luxury Vacation Home with Awesome Lake Views!

10/10 Excellent

"What a beautiful home! It has a great luxe cabin vibe with all of the wood. The home was immaculately clean and was very well appointed. Plenty of clean towels and supplies. We appreciated the 1st floor bedroom for my senior mother, she was very happy there. The beds were so comfortable. My spouse and I live in a very urban area that is noisy with police/fire responses and traffic. We slept so well here with the peace and quiet of this private setting. Communications with the host were great. Messages (text and emails) were returned very quickly. We had a family dinner and there was plenty of space and lots of parking. Lots of seating options indoors and out. We had GREAT weather for our stay, in November. The kids enjoyed exploring the property and especially the teepee. Thank you!"
