This house was beautiful, clean and had everything we needed and more. It was quiet, peaceful and absolutely beautiful. We enjoyed sitting outside watching the sun rise over the lake in the mornings. The host was very nice and responsive. We were only here for a weekend, but next time we will stay longer.

Great vibes at this little lake house and we enjoyed our stay! My true rating would be closer to 4.5 stars only because I wasn’t aware the outdoor area, dock, and amenities were shared with a separate upstairs rental. During our stay, two sketchy men were staying upstairs and had about eight fishing poles spread across the entire dock, leaving very little room for anyone else to enjoy it. I also wasn’t completely comfortable letting my kids play outside with them there. Just something families should be aware of when booking.

We have stayed at many and this was by far the best property we have ever stayed at. From the day of check in til we left it was amazing. Even with the rain it was so relaxing. Carmen has made sure everything that you could even think of was there for you It was very clean and she made sure you knew what was in the area to entertain yourself.If you dont stay there you are missing so much. Thank you, Carmen,

6/10 Okay

Liked: Check-in, communication, location
The great: host communication. The ok: not a house but not a modular home but a series of separated conjoined temporary living spaces. Inside is cosy, clean, and charming. The challenge : the master bedroom sit right below the living space of another dwelling. 11 pm, 1 am, 3 am whoever is upstairs you get woken by their activity each night. They weren’t loud it is just the design and construction of the unit. Hard to describe housing as it is designed and divided so much. Two of the units were rented to transient workers. Our unit works great. Easy access to everything, dock and outdoor fun (kayaking, paddle boarding, horseshoe, and fishing). Just understand you are spending time in close proximity with people you don’t know.

The property is a perfect retreat for couples seeking peace and relaxation. The outdoor spaces are comfortable for conversations and connecting. The interior is warm and inviting - ideal for one or two couples to unwind and enjoy everything the lake has to offer. Carmen is an exceptional host whose warmth and attentiveness shine throughout your stay, consistently going above and beyond to make your visit memorable.
