Thanks so much! Yes the Lake can be amazingly quiet and a great place for friends and family. Traveling in the mountains isn't always easy, so I try hard to reduce traval anxiety as the house speaks fornitself.

We had the best weekend, even though we had rain! House has plenty of games, dining table where everyone had a seat! The porch was great place to watch the rain and enjoy coffee! Kitchen is well stocked with items you may have forgotten. Beds were very comfortable! Enjoyed paddle boarding and kayaks! House is right across from marina, but no heavy water traffic while we were there. Communication with host was superb! Will definitely stay again!

Thanks so much for the kind review. Yes, games for inside the house, the covered porches and pavilion are nice on those rainy days! We love our repeat guests, so yes please book again. We love the marina in the distance, especially at night, their lights add a nice twinkle to the lake when sitting by the fire at night.

We are glad you enjoyed your stay! Like many mountain lake homes some elevation is often envolved. Our home does allow 3 different ways to the lake and dock. I usually take the stairs down, but use the walking path up as I find it easier. In our homes description I suggest that guests should be in good health to get to the lake and back. Our home has both mountain and lake views.
