The Modern Chic was a delightful little space. Close to the cities, but felt like a cabin in the woods. It had everything we needed in a small space.

Clean property, quiet

The property was very clean. It was in a neighborhood but the area was quiet and a great place for a walk. Surprised at how many beds, linens, and restrooms you can fit a smaller space and still have a spacious dining and living room area. Perfect for a small family or a small group of friends. Not far away from any in-town places.

It is a spot thats deserving if you as a person likes a peace of mind and away from any noise. It is a gem of a home, close to the highway yet away from traffic. Is worth checking this gem out and I will definitely be utilizing this ho.e again.

Woodsy mod family retreat

We were in the area celebrating the holidays with family. We chose this location as a central hub with easy access to family, shopping, and eateries. The home was clean and the layout provided comfortable individual and shared gathering spaces. The property management and maintenance team quickly addressed questions about the heating systems and followed up to ensure that everything was working properly. We enjoyed walking through the neighborhood, watching deer in the backyard, and the views across the lake.

Lovely Gettaway

I spent 10 nights there over the 4th of July weekend. The place was clean and had a well appointed kitchen. The dock which faces the lake was my favorite place for coffee. The washer/dryer worked well, as did the stove and dishwasher. The neighbors we super friendly. One of them knocked on the door and invited me to come watch the boat parade on the 4th. We loved watching the deer and black squirrels. I booked a return trip. .
