Thanks, Jill — I’m glad the house, the lake views, and the quiet worked so well for you, and that the gates made things easier for the pups. It’s nice to hear the labels on the kitchen items and lights made everything easy to find. I’d be happy to have you back next year.

This is a beautiful spot on a quiet cove with great amenities— kayaks, stand up paddle board, deck overlooking the lake and a screened gazebo. Very well maintained with lots of thoughtful touches like dog bowls and special dog towels. We loved it!

Margaret, Thank you for your wonderful comments regarding our cottage. We are thrilled that you and your family were able to enjoy the lake with the kayaks and paddle board. You touched one of my favorite aspects of the house, the gazebo on the deck. It's such a cool hangout for reading a book, listening to music or just taking a nap. We would love to host you again and hope that you come back to stay with us soon. All the best, Keith & Maria

Beautiful and spacious home right on the lake with all amenities needed for a comfortable stay. We enjoyed the dock, kayaks, and paddle board. Located on a quiet part of Lake Arrowhead in a no wake zone. The enclosed deck was very nice for dogs to enjoy without worrying about them bothering neighbors.

Erin, thank you so much for the review. We are thrilled that you and the family took advantage of all the water toys and got to enjoy the full lake experience. We are dog people so to hear that you were able to relax while they remained safe on the deck makes us very happy! We hope that you will return again as we would love to host you. All the best, Keith & Maria

We enjoyed a relaxing stay here with two couples. The wooded setting was lovely, and the house was well organized, with clear labels and a well-stocked kitchen—from coffee supplies to a waffle maker. The hosts were also very accommodating about our dogs, even though we ultimately left them at home.A few details kept the stay from being quite as cozy as we’d hoped. We chose the house partly for the fall atmosphere and the fireplaces, but later learned that the fireplace and wood stove weren’t operational. The view looked lovely from outside, though the dirty windows made it harder to enjoy from indoors. Cobwebs hanging from the chandeliers caught the morning light in a distinctly seasonal way. The kitchen is best suited to one person at a time, and the stairs have uneven heights, so take care going up and down.With clearer information about the heating features and a little more attention to cleaning and stair safety, this could be an even more enjoyable place to stay.

Thank you, Jason, for staying with us and for taking the time to share your feedback. The fireplace and wood stove are listed as non-operational in two places on the listing, as well as in the guidebook. We appreciate your feedback on the cleaning and stairs.

Awesome property…

All the amenities for a great summer vacation… paddle boards and kayaks and an amazing fire pit! The house and kitchen are well appointed, could have used a salad spinner and a few big serving bowls for the kitchen, but other than that, everything you need for entertaining a large group. The lake is absolutely beautiful… Couldn’t get the grandkids out of it! Thank you for a lovely stay!

Thank you so much for the lovely review! We’re thrilled to hear your family enjoyed the lake, especially the grandkids—sounds like they made the most of it! Glad the paddle boards, kayaks, and fire pit helped make your vacation special. And thank you for the helpful kitchen suggestions—the salad spinner has been added :-) as well as more serving bowls for future guests. We’d love to welcome you back anytime!

Beautiful location, sadly the water was extremely low in the lake or we would have enjoyed that part even more, but still a great location on the lake.Home was well equipped and as described, setup very easily for all to enjoy. The deer in the yard every day was breathtaking aside the view. Communication with owners and check in process seamless.Had an on going issue with a neighbors dogs, but not something in the owners control, although I do feel they will address for future renters. The area is perfect for escaping, not touristy at all, which is exactly what we wanted.Hope future renters enjoy it as much

Thank you so much for your thoughtful review! We're so glad you enjoyed the peaceful setting, the daily visits from the deer, and that the home had everything you needed for a relaxing stay. It’s wonderful to hear the check-in process and communication made your trip even easier. We're sorry the lake levels were lower than usual during your visit. Water levels can fluctuate throughout the season, and we know that can impact lake activities. We also appreciate you bringing the neighboring dogs to our attention. While it's outside of our control, we take all guest feedback seriously and will do our best to address the situation however we can for future guests. Thank you again for staying with us. We'd love to welcome you back for another peaceful getaway!
