Super cute house

I stayed here with a group of friends, 6 of us total, and it was a great stay. The property was as described. The beds were comfortable. We had a great time. We only wish it was warmer to enjoy the pool but that's the Midwest for you lol.

Great location and beautiful yard!

The house was perfect! We had a girls spring break trip with our daughters and had the best time. Loved the hot tub, fire pit and all the space in the house. The location was perfect, walking distance to shops, restaurants and the lake. Wish it was nicer so we could have enjoyed more outside since the backyard at the house was amazing!!

Great location, lots of beds

This is great vacation property that houses a big group and has a great outdoor space. The host was kind. I suggest making some updates to enhance the experience, like a digital thermostat that would allow guests to arrive to a warm house in the winter, and a digital entry as the key was hard to work. The house also wasn't as well stocked as other VBROs in the area, but if you know that in advance it would be okay. Thank you for a fun weekend.
