Great views from the house and the house was well appointed to meet all our needs. We had an issue with no propane when we first arrived but our host had that fixed within an hour. We were very happy with our stay. My wife said it was magical.

An awesome property to relax in and be away from the hustle and bustle of life. It's very quiet all day and night. Beautiful lake views. The only distractions you may have are the ones you bring. House sleeps 10 but we only had 5 people staying at the cabin and we were comfortable. Hope you decide to book this house because you won't regret it.

The home was very clean. The AC went out a couple of times. It was taken care of within 48 hours. The view from the house was spectacular. I wish there was a 2nd fridge though because of that size of my family and the lack of nearby food market. We saw an eagle or two and deers galo5.

Amazing property with incredible views. House has good air conditioning, and plenty of sleeping space. Only downside to the property is the lack of shades (sunlight is great but being woken up at 5am with the sun was tough.

Thanks for the review, and we're glad you enjoyed your stay. The sun does come up early, and the big windows that provide the view also let the light in. I'll add into our pre-arrival info to bring a sleep mask for when you want to sleep in (they actually work).

Great family getaway

The little beach and swimming area were a great place for everyone in our group and the house and deck gave us plenty of room to spread out. Communications with the owner and property manager were excellent.

Our vacation was more than we could have expected from our cabin host always just a text away! We had a blast at Silverwood Theme Park, Also, easy access boating tubing/fishing and side by side and many great places to enjoy a meal out. We are already planning next years vacation

Diane - Glad you enjoyed your stay at our Carlin Bay Retreat! We would love to have you back. If you ever want a getaway in the off-season, the lake is beautiful all year long, the eagles come and hang out in December, and the view is always changing as winter comes and goes. Gary

Nice, quiet retreat

Lovely cabin in the woods with an incredible view of the lake. We had a family getaway and enjoyed the location very much. Our only suggestions would be that a few oversized baby gates be provided, as there are a lot of stairs and it was a challenge keeping our 2 year old granddaughter safe.

Glad you enjoyed your stay, Charles. We have the exterior stairs on our list of projects. They get exposed to a lot of snow in the winters... Still functional but need some maintenance. Hope you had a chance to use the new fire table!

Outstanding View on Beautiful BayVery nice home with outstanding lake view. Exceptionally clean and well stocked. Great place for our group of five friends to gather for several days. Comfortable outdoor furniture, spacious kitchen. Note that the bedrooms are on three different levels, with one downstairs and through the garage. Also the afternoon sun in July-August is intense and heats up the living area, but the fans kept it comfortable. We enjoyed ourselves and will likely be back!

We're glad you enjoyed your stay. We are working on some improvements that will add some shade to the deck for those hot summer days, and should have them done by next summer. We would welcome you back!

Spacious for a large family

Long week-end of bar-b-cue, boating, and ice cream at Harrison. Appreciated internet for checking emails with a number of us on-line at a time. We spent mornings and evenings on the balcony deck enjoying the weather, the view, and each other.
