The property was beautiful and clean. The Infiniti table was a nice addition that we played as a family. The view of the lake and the sunrise was amazing.

Cozy moments

Had a great time in this A-Frame cabin. There were a lot of activities to do without even leaving the property like kayaking, paddle boarding or just relaxing on the hot tub. The views were amazing with beautiful sunrise views. The kids had fun with the infinity table as well. Beds and pillows were comfortable. There were a lot of cozy areas to hang out both indoors and outdoors.

We had an amazing stay! Started out with an issue with the hot water heater but Kimberly was responsive and had plumbers out within a couple of hours and we were back in business! The home was clean, beautifully decorated, and the paddle board and kayaks were a hit! The younger people in our group also loved the game table and S’mores on the deck.

Can’t wait to go back and stay again!!!

Had a great time would recommend this property. Everything was exceptional . The decorating and decor was spot down to every detail. The ridge was stocked above and beyond every thing you could need. Spectacular views and the lake was awesome. Will definitely be returning for another stay in the future.

Relaxing Getaway

This property is absolutely amazing. The views, beds, furniture, hot tub are all top notch. We stayed during July 4th and the fireworks were awesome to watch on the lake. This was a gaming meet up of friends who have never met each other after 4 years of playing games together everyday. The infinity table was the highlight of the trip, I think we used that the most, playing scrabble and monopoly. Overall it was a very memorable time and we’ll definitely be back.

Absolutely amazing getaway!!

I can’t say enough wonderful things about this lake house—it was, without a doubt, the most relaxing week of my entire year. From the moment we arrived, the peaceful, quiet atmosphere immediately put us at ease. The setting is absolutely serene, with beautiful, uninterrupted views of the lake that make it feel like a true escape from everything. One of the standout highlights is the hot tub overlooking the water. Sitting there in the evening, soaking while watching the lake, was pure bliss. It’s the kind of experience that melts away all stress and makes you lose track of time in the best way possible. And I have to mention the couch—because wow. It is unbelievably comfortable. The kind of couch you sit down on “just for a minute” and then suddenly wake up an hour later. It quickly became one of our favorite spots to unwind after a day by the lake. I also brought my French bulldog, and she had an amazing time. The entire property is dog-friendly, which made the trip even more special. It’s not always easy to find places that are so welcoming to pets, and this one absolutely is. The entire property in the back is fenced in. So my dog could spend time at the lake and I didn’t have to worry about her chasing geese. The house itself is incredibly well maintained—everything is clean, cared for, and thoughtfully set up. You can tell the owners take great pride in the space. They were also always available for any questions, which made the whole experience feel easy and stress-free. The kitchen had all of the utensils pots pans everything needed for cooking, the only thing we needed to bring with food to make. I genuinely cannot wait to return. If you’re looking for a quiet, relaxing getaway with beautiful views and all the comforts of home, this place is perfect. I wish I could give it more than five stars. I will be back!

We had an amazing stay at this Vrbo! The views were absolutely breathtaking and even better than the photos. Waking up each morning to such beautiful scenery and was a highlight of our trip.The home was clean, comfortable, and well-equipped with everything we needed. We especially loved the entertainment options available—there was plenty to keep everyone occupied, from relaxing indoor activities to fun amenities that made our downtime just as enjoyable as our adventures outside.The location was perfect, offering both privacy and easy access to nearby attractions. The host was responsive, friendly, and made the entire experience seamless from booking through checkout.We would highly recommend this property to anyone looking for a relaxing getaway with incredible views and great entertainment. We can't wait to come back!

A for the A-Frame lake house! Very cool place to stay - as beautiful as shown in the pics and video. I’d definitely recommend. Being a dog-friendly rental made it a great place for the whole family to enjoy. We stayed 5 nights and wish we could’ve had 5 more! Very clean property, stocked with essentials and lots of extra bedding/blankets. Plenty of areas to hang out and relax both inside and out. We had 6 people and weren’t cramped at all. Inside has lots of cozy sitting areas and it was nice having decks off both floors. Outstanding, well-furnished home with unique A-frame structure, felt like home. Infinity table was lots of fun with so many games to play. Screened porch was a cool hangout spot, and with hot tub just outside can watch TV while you soak!Outside, we enjoyed fire table, cornhole (lower patio is larger than looks in pic), hot tub over lake, and kayaks and paddle board were a blast. Plenty of life vests which was needed as lake is deep off dock - we couldn’t touch bottom. (Perhaps due to excessive rain in previous weeks.)Definitely plenty to do and enjoy! In quiet neighborhood but with the convenience of grocery stores and dining 10 minutes away. Also an adventure park with mini golf, water slides, etc. 5 minutes away, and antique shops nearby. We had a few hiccups during our stay but the host was so prompt every time (replying within minutes) and helpful, which really made a huge difference. Communication was top notch.

Thank you so much for choosing our home for your stay, and for taking the time to leave a review. We're always looking for ways to improve the guest experience, so we'd genuinely love to know if there was anything specific we could have done better. We suspect the brief power outage during the first day of your visit may have impacted your experience. Weather events like that are unfortunately outside of our control, but we're grateful the utility crews were able to restore service quickly. If there was something else we could improve upon, please reach out to us directly so we know what affected your stay so dramatically. We hope to have the chance to welcome you back for a smoother stay in the future.
