This was a really great rental that we would definitely love to return to. The view is amazing, and it’s the perfect size for a couple enjoying some time away. There’s a huge wraparound porch and there’s always some part of it that’s shaded throughout the day, which is great. Location-wise, it couldn’t be better, just a 12-minute walk to the Main Street with restaurants and shops (as well as some restaurants and shops along the way on the walk). We had a wonderful time.

Beautiful Place

We stayed here to celebrate our 33rd wedding anniversary. Lakeside bliss is the perfect way to describe this cozy home with an incredible view. The house was very clean and bright, and in addition to the gorgeous view of the lake, we were entertained by the wildlife in the area. Thank you for a wonderful stay, we will be back!

Peaceful, quiet getaway!

This was a very relaxing, peaceful location in a well appointed and clean rental with a very responsive, kind, and accommodating host. And the property was even larger inside than it looked in the photos, which is usually not the case. All in all a very positive experience and if we are in the area again, we will definitely return! Oh, and silly me, I forgot to mention the amazing views on Dodge Pond!

Perfect cozy getaway

The house was very clean and the check-in process was smooth. The owner helped us find places nearby to dine and we really enjoyed the local amenities. We were within walking distance of many restaurants and shops. We absolutely loved the view of the lake. Two swans even came up to the shoreline near the house. A great location for bird viewing; binoculars were provided. We especially love the back deck and the private setting. It was a wonderful getaway for our anniversary!

First and last impressions

It was awesome to be able to stay here! The piano was great, though it should maybe be tuned sometime soon... The beer in the fridge was absolutely unnecessary for us but the BBQ sauce and mustard was great!! Would highly recommend to anyone else!!

Thank you Lynn! The piano was tuned shortly after you left - it was a rough summer with guests leaving doors open for the glorious weather but it wreaked havoc with the piano! 3 tunings this year ha ha! The beverages in the fridge were left behind, sorry about that - I thought someone might want them! I'm glad you enjoyed the condiments - I put those in fresh for guests! Glad you liked the place - come again!
