annual fishing trip

Best house we have stayed in for our annual fishing trip, the kitchen was very well stocked with everything we needed for cooking during our stay. Fishing off the dock was great. Marc is a great host, answered my emails / Phone calls promptly for any questions prior to our stay. Already planning on booking again later this week for next years trip.

Peaceful lake trip

Had a splendid time at the lake. Husband, son, grandson (11) and I spent a few days before school starts at this lovely waterfront home! Pretty perfect. It has all you need except food and drinks. Nicely appointed with a lake feel. Level lot out back to the water and dock. Fishing and kayaking and paddle boarding were just a few things that kept us busy. Marc was quick to reply when we had a little internet issue. I guess unplug and replug works everywhere! Will rent again is my biggest compliment! Thanks Marc for sharing such a sweet spot!

Very quiet and relaxing

This property was exactly as presented in VRBO. There were other houses very close, but everything was extremely quiet, which I loved. The walk out to the dock was easy. My son enjoyed trying paddle boarding and kayaked early in the morning in the cove. The house was very clean and well-stocked. The only thing that was a bit concerning is that we didn't receive information on how to get into the house until about 24 hours before our stay. Maybe that is standard practice?? But we have used VRBO before and always received this information several days before our stay. But, we did get the info and the house was perfect for our small family!!

Great home on the lake!

We enjoyed our stay so much! It was the perfect location with beautiful views of the main lake. The kitchen was well equipped. The beds were comfortable. The porch and dock were amazing with plenty of chairs for relaxing. This home was perfect for our family of four and we hope to return next year! Thank you for sharing your home with us!
