We had a wonderful time in the house. It’s very cozy and the sunsets are just a treat. Communicating with the host was easy and friendly at all times. We felt very welcomed and we can most definitely say that we would love to return. We really hope it stays this authentic for a long time.

Beautiful View

Our stay was so nice! The cabin was very clean. We stayed in October which was pretty chilly, there is no central heat in the cabin but the space heaters worked really well and kept the cabin comfortable.

This is a fine place to stay with old-time cabin vibes. However, it should be more prominently noted in the property description that the water is drawn directly from the lake and not suitable for drinking or cooking. For some potential renters, this could be an important point to note.

Perfect house for our little getaway!!

Everything about the process and the house was just as advertised and perfect for what we needed. The house sits on a beautiful quiet road right along the lake which was ideal for jogging with my kids every morning! The owners were very attentive and quick to respond with any questions and everything we needed was available at the house. I would definitely recommend booking this house for your next vacation!

Perfect Lakeside Spot

It was a great stay at Tripp Lake. The house was very clean and the listing is accurate. The house and porch are great spots to view the sunset over the water. Communication was easy and responsive. If we end up back in the area this is the first place I would try to book again. Great spot for a family of 4 and a dog. Thanks again.

Our vacation stay was great. The hosts were super supportive. Everything was disclosed upfront so there were no surprises and not due to any shortcoming of the owner. ( drinking water not available/ heating is with space heaters/ cooling with one AC/ one bathroom) . There were so many things that were positive though that we definitely plan to come again. Supportive owners/ great location/ house has everything that is included already ex kayak/ life jackets/ fishing poles etc) / 3 bedrooms etc. Would recommend highly.

The property is beautiful. We loved it! We loved staying here! We stayed for seven days and wish we were staying longer! We had a wonderful time. The pond is right across the street! Great for swimming and hanging out. It would’ve been lovely if there were actual stairs leading down to the beach, but we figured it out. We loved the decks both the front in the back, and we especially loved the screened in porch for after the bugs came out at night! The house was stocked with all the equipment, knives, pots baking pans etc. that you would need we really like that. No blender. We brought our own. Since it was this late in August the house got cold at night. We definitely made use of all the blankets. We loved that we could bring our dog. She had the best time. The gorgeous sunsets were priceless!

Best little lake house

We had an amazing stay at this cute lake house. Rustic and quaint but had all the amenities you need. The host was amazing and anything we needed they took care of right away. Three bedrooms with plenty of sleeping space. Large living and dining room so we were never crowded. My favorite spot was the enclosed porch with table and chairs. We played lots of cards and games as a family and awesome view of the lake. The large deck outside was awesome. Large yard which our family enjoyed playing badminton. The only thing missing was a kayaks and stairs down off the dock to access the lake. We made due and borrowed a kayak from a friend. Plus really would of loved a fire pit, but I bet by next summer they will have one. We would def rent this place again.

Pluses and minuses

The location was nice in terms of being near Tripp Lake, however there isn't easy access to the water for swimming or using the provided kayaks. We had to drive to the town beach to swim in the lake.The air conditioner is only in the common space and the ceiling fan wasn't working. Bedrooms and kitchen were quite warm, which could be an issue. Fans are provided, but bedrooms don't have a/c.The biggest surprise was finding out only a few days before the stay that there isn't potable (drinkable) water. That should have been disclosed before I booked the stay. Some bottled water was provided but we needed more for drinking & cooking & making coffee...which we bought.I will say that communication was always easy & quick about other things and the host tried to fix the ceiling fan. I may have still selected this VRBO, but feel like I should have known beforehand.

We love this place! The house had everything we needed and more. Tripp Lake is a quiet lake, with nice neighbors, great for taking a gorgeous walk, and catch some bass if you’re lucky (tip- dusk off the dock was a good fishing time for us). The canoe, kayaks, and inflatable floaties provided hours of fun. The nearest grocery store was 6 minutes away and had everything we needed and more (local beers)! There’s an eagle’s nest nearby and we saw the parents often, and of course, the loons! The owner was prompt and helpful. We hope to return!

The view is incredible. The house, while on the small side, is the perfect lakeside cottage. Clean, well cared for with everything you might need while here. Highly recommend!
