Nice location by the lake

Short walk to the lake, it has a sectioned off area for swimming. Plenty of bedrooms in the home and nice place to relax. The AC was nice since it was hot when we visited.

Reminded me of home

This charming lake home was perfect for our 5 night stay close to Stillwater. Plenty of beds to choose from and a comfortable environment to enjoy family time. The dining room was key to our memorable family game enjoyment.

You can not beat the location of this property. So close to the beach...but the climb back to the house is only for youngsters. I personally love old houses and this one is certainly an old house. Squeaky floors, stuck drawers, glass door knobs that pull off, and maybe even a ghost. (My grandkids swear that there is a ghost?) Check in and Check out were easy. Some mattresses where great and others not so good. Would I book this house again, no. But we sure had fun gathering all my kids and grandkids together. The lake water was clear, the days hot, and a bunch of wild grandkids....life doesn't get any better than that!

Very cozy

I rented this home for a sisters getaway. It really is a great space for a relaxing weekend. My sisters noted that the shower curtains had pink mold and the grout needed a good cleaning, thus the 4 stars. The kitchen was well stocked, although the knives could be better with more variety. I would rent again!

Girlfriend stay

Accommodations are great in the gem of a house. Multiple bedrooms was a plus. Just a heads up, there are steps to get into the front or back door. Not a deal breaker for our group but could be in a few years!

Great place for a family gathering

An historic house on a peaceful and quiet street. The house has a very large front room, dining room and kitchen. These worked well for our family members from different states as we talked and spent time together. The house is a cute, historic bungalow that has been remodeled to have modern amenities. The gardens are nice and it is conveniently located for our needs.

Lovely craftsman home

We enjoyed our girl’s retreat at this lovely home. Everything was tidy. The property is surrounded by greenery. It was an easy walk to the lake. The only thing that might improve it would be better lighting. It’s an old home, and outlets are few and far between. This would not stop me from renting here again, but it is dark inside. Such a cute place!!

Great Lakeside Neighborhood

Jane, the homeowner, was great to work with. House was clean and well appointed with dishes, linens and games for the kids. Nice living room TV with Roku for movies. High speed internet/wifi for all the devices to hook up worked flawlessly. House is pretty good size to fit all the kids. In spite of road construction near our stay Jane was very accommodating to make sure we had everything we needed and easy access to the property. The quaint lakeside neighborhood was great. One block away to a hidden public beach that we had virtually all to ourselves each day. Would highly recommend and would stay again.

Great Place to Relax Near the Lake

We enjoyed our stay very much. There was some confusion when we got there because the driveway where you park is on the street behind the house, not in the front. The house is well stocked, large and homey. There are two bedrooms and a bathroom on each floor. A couple of the mattresses are a bit saggy. The living room is spacious and comfortable, and there is a Roku and high-speed internet. The outside decks could use some maintenance, but there is a deck with a patio set, a fairly flat yard and lovely gardens on the edges of the property. It is about a block walk to the neighborhood beach. A big beach and park is about two miles from the house. We would definitely book it again.

It smelled a little musty when first entering the house. The parking in back was a little tight and the neighbors across the street were doing work on their house so a truck and attached trailer were parked at the curb making it a little more challenging for us to back out.

Perfect place to reconnect with old friends

Jane's place had plenty of room for us to visit. We stayed here for our high school girls get together. We sat on the deck to catch up with each other. The dining room table was the perfect spot to play cards! There are plenty of beds. The home has beautiful wood work and furnishings. We took a walk down to the beach to watch the sunset! So glad we found this rental!
