Perfect for fishing!

The house was very nice, with a great deck overlooking the lake. We liked having our boat at the dock, with launch site just down the street. We would definitely stay here again.

Not just a summer escape!

My wife wanted a winter cabin escape to celebrate her birthday, and this was the perfect spot! Nothing beat waking up in the morning with a fresh cup of coffee and watching the snow fall on the lake. There were plenty of things to do, our children (7 & 5) had a great time as well as my parents, who joined us to celebrate. We'd love to return both in the summer and again in the winter!

Amazing place to stay

Our stay was awesome! The hosts communications was great when we had some questions. It was clean, comfortable and well equipped. the netting on the deck made it almost bug free sitting outside in the evening. The lake was beautiful and fishing was a blast. We would definitely stay here again.

Wonderful Escape

Escape on Long Lake was a great property for our extended family (including fur babies) to enjoy time together. Josh was very responsive and helpful through the whole booking process and stay. We appreciated the amenities for our dogs and access to water toys (including a last minute pontoon rental when our personal boat quit). Our only “complaint” was a lack of storage space and supplies in the kitchen, but we were able to punt and make it work. Thank you!

Perfect Escape!

We had such an amazing time at The Escape on Long Lake! Everything was as advertised or better! Plenty to do for all ages 1-60 yrs old. We kayacked, paddle boarded, pontooned and swam for the full 8days we were there. Weather couldn’t have been better and the house was so comfy cool when we had to take a break from the sun. 6 adults and 3 kids had plenty of room to spread out and relax. Thank you for opening your home to us, we couldn’t have picked a better place!!

Wonderful Weekend

The house and property were well kept and very clean. There was plenty to do as the house came with kayak's and a paddle boat which seem to be a big hit. It is a beautiful place. The host was very accommodating and made sure we were well taken care of.

Great Stay

We had a wonderful stay at The Escape on Long Lake. The house was very comfortable and has very comfortable beds. The fall weather allowed us to enjoy the deck one afternoon and the beautiful fall colors enhanced the view across the lake. Our host was very responsive when we had questions and we totally enjoyed our time. We'd like to come back in the summer when we could enjoy the lake as well.

Wonderful vacation

The house was very nice, clean and comfortable. My kids had fun playing pool and taking the kayaks out the best. The house has a lot of fun games, outdoor games and outdoor equipment to use on the lake. It is really a beautiful place. It’s not everyday we hear Amish buggies going down the road. It was peaceful.

Amazing Autumn Getaway

Our visit to the escape at Long Lake was amazing! We kayaked, paddle boated, roasted marshmallows, played horseshoes, shot some pool, took some walks, and even took an icy dip in the beautiful lake. The home was so thoughtfully set up for us. I can’t recommend this home enough! It was absolutely perfect. When you stay, be sure to order take out from 5 star pizza; ridiculously good. Thank you, Joshua!!
