This property is what we think a vacation home should be: a place to catch your breath, enjoy mother nature's beauty, have a little fun in the clear, beautiful lake, play a game or work a puzzle, enjoy a sunset cocktail on the deck while dinner cooks on the grill. Everything you need is here. From cute but practical dinnerware, to comfortable beds and well-placed instructions, the hosts have done a great job of tending to the details that make it easy for guests to settle in and enjoy the stay. The town of Adams is 20 or so minutes away and has everything you need (groceries, liquor, fuel) and we enjoyed a nice, reasonably priced breakfast at Colleen's Cherry Tree Inn a short drive away in Henderson.

We were disappointed by your four star rating and a bit confused by your rationale behind it. Adjacent to our house, we have three parking spaces. We also have two additional spaces on our property at the top of our hill. When you called a few days prior to your stay in a panic because you believed that we had no place for you to park your boat trailer, we spent a good deal of time explaining to you that we had a place for your boat on our property, just not in the parking area at the house, since there is no room to turn around a trailer. We also made special arrangements for you to park your boat for free at a marina down the road, if you preferred that option. When you booked, you acknowledged that you read our property description which clearly states all this information. It also clearly states that we do not have a full-size oven, but do provide a toaster oven, stove-top and grill. We are happy that you enjoyed the beautiful view..

What an incredible house! My husband, dog and I truly enjoyed our stay. Jeannie and Janet were phenomenal - so communicative and thoughtful! The bed and couch were both comfy, and that view is everything. It's very close to Robert Wehle State Park, which has wonderful dog-friendly trails. We will definitely be back!

The property has a great view of Stoney Island., and north toward Canada. After dark you can see the lights from the wind turbines in Canada. There is DG Market fairly close by which was handy for our breakfast needs. We were there for a wedding at South Beach. It was perfect for needs.

Fantastic Relaxation

We loved our stay at this wonderful hidden gem! Spacious and clean. We were able to still enjoy sitting outside on the deck even during the rainstorms with the roofed alcove. The view from the shore sitting area was beautiful! And the hosts were very helpful with any questions we had. We're already planning our next trip here!

Weekend stay

Stayed here in the fall, simply looking for peaceful silence. And it provided that both times. Have zero complaints and it’s a great spot for either fall or spring and I’m sure it’s absolutely lovely in the summer.

A Little off the beaten path, but lovely. Peaceful and very quiet. Water was wonderful. You do need water shoes as it is a rocky beach.

We loved being at the Lake House. The swimming was amazing. We walked, picked wild apples, saw turkeys, water birds, hummingbirds, butterflies, spiders, osprey and a bald eagle. We had privacy and quiet and adventure. Thank you.

Beautiful lakehouse

This is a beautiful lakehouse on Henderson Harbor. They have a very well-stocked kitchen., and it was nice to have the beds made when we arrived. We enjoyed many hours swimming. kayaking, paddleboarding relaxing on floats, watching the sunsets and just enjoying our perfect surroundings. We really enjoyed the peace and quiet and the three different levels from which we could enjoy the lake! .
