We loved the home on the lake! The kids enjoyed the paddle boards and paddle boat, as well as having a cookout and making s’mores. Movie nights with popcorn and sleeping in were a nice treat! There was even live outdoor music at one of the other houses and we enjoyed listening while on the lake. Much needed relaxation time and we would stay again!

The host made a mistake about our check-in date so the check-in information was incorrect and a bedroom and kitchen sink were not clean and ready. When I contacted them, they were very apologetic and offered to come and clean. They were very responsive. Other than that hiccup, the place was perfect for our trip and we had a wonderful time. The little lake was fun, the downstair space was great, and it was close to all our activities. Our family would go again.

Great property and beautiful views. I loved the private feeling on the deck and down by the lake and our 5 kids loved playing with the provided equipment! There are plenty of chairs on the deck, a grill and a fire pit, and additional chairs by the lake.The house was very clean and ready for us to enjoy immediately. I loved all the little 'extras' everywhere; having so much of these little odds and ends for guests to use if needed is incredible. The entire house is set up and stocked very thoughtfully to provide a great experience for the guests. There were plenty of blankets, pillows, towels, everything we needed was thought of provided.Outside there is quite a bit of noise from the airport, trains, and the nearby highway, but the house is so well insulated that you cant hear the noise while inside. The host did inform me they were outside the country and let me know their timezone, and they still made sure to be available and kept in touch well during our stay. There was a fluke incident where a neighbor's tree fell and knocked out our power. I tried contacting the host so they could report the outage but was unable to reach them (it was middle of the night for them.) We were able to figure out who the local utility provider was and contacted them to safely restore the power. The host got back to us within hours as well to check in and make sure things were taken care of.Excellent property. Would definitely recommend to others.

About the host

Hosted by Azy

Host profile image
My Name is Azy and I own a Montessori School in town.
I have 3 adult children. I love entertaining and traveling and visit new places and cultures. Every guest has a unique story and I enjoy sharing this lake house with my guest.

Why they chose this property

This house is located in a good neighborhood. I fell in love with it when I bought it. It has a unique character. If you like to be part of the neighborhood, sit in front and if you want to enjoy the cabin like back yard, make a fire in the fire pit on the deck and enjoy the beautiful lake's scenery.

What makes this property unique

If you are here for a business trip, come back home to a beautiful back yard and relax.
If you are here to visit the family, invite them over and enjoy gathering in the basement or front yard. If you are here for any reason, basically relax and enjoy the beautiful trees and the lake, the trail and the shopping mall close by.
