The property was perfect for us, especially since it was less than a mile from where our friends, who we were visiting, lived. There was space for us three adults who were staying there to sleep & hang out. The lake is a short walking distance away - so pretty. Although we basically slept & showered at the cottage, I saw there was recreational equipment provided by the owner.

Charming house perfect for a family of four! Very clean with all the necessities needed for a lake house stay. Very spacious yard for games. Super easy and short (less than 5 minutes) walk to private beach area. Very clear instructions inside. Beautiful clear water, lovely to swim in, just recommend bringing water shoes since the shore is rock. Family had a great time and would stay here again!

Not much within walking distance

While the house was fine and peaceful, you will need to plan on driving everywhere for everything.

Really? You give us a 3 because we’re in a remote area? Do your homework first, rather than dis a nice place just because you have to drive to attractions.

Long weekend getaway

We had a great experience at the funhouse! Reservation and check-in was easy and our contact person Charles was always available by email or message throughout our stay. The house was clean and beds were comfortable. The kitchen was very well equipped with everything we needed. The location was perfect for us as we have friends in the islands. We had access to the lake only a short walk away and info about getting to the beach was clear. We had a relaxing weekend and would love to stay here again next year!

Quiet little getaway house

Nice little place that was easy to find. Our only challenge was we were unsure of where to access the lake. We think it was due to construction on the property that shares the lake access just making it a bit confusing for us. Lots of other great activities in the area so we spent time elsewhere and had an enjoyable stay.
