Rose Marie was super sweet and did everything she could to get an a/c issue fixed. She was also quick to get a plumber to come out to unclog the bathtub and shower drains when I called her. The house is nice with a fully stocked kitchen and multiple coffee pots upstairs and in the basement. The beds are very comfortable too. The boathouse/dock was on deep water which was great for the kids and adults to play and float on. Thank you, Rose Marie, for allowing us the opportunity to stay in your home!

The stay itself was very nice. Check in was easy and all of our kitchen needs were met with a large family. The stove was a little wonky and couldn’t keep temperature evenly so it made cooking a bit troublesome, but it worked. Dishwasher worked, but was trying to physically fall apart(front coming off). Owner assured me this was being fixed. Overall, enjoyed everything, but fees should be more transparent when searching for properties.

Excellent stay!

Great location and host was fantastic! It was even better than we expected. The house accommodated 8 adults easily and was extremely comfortable and cozy. Access to the water was a bonus as several in our party were over 65 - they were able to walk without much difficulty. We hope to be able to stay here again soon. What a wonderful getaway!

Perfect Weather!

Love all the life jackets available! The sandy beach is great for little ones. We lucked out as the water temperature was perfect for swimming and floating. Lots of fun jumping off the dock and also having a campfire. We played charades on the deck with the nice outdoor couches.

Nice to have bathrooms on every floor. Swimming off the dock was great. Pictures were accurate. Only misleading item was it stated it sleeps 18 but the price per night is based on 15 and then the add on for each additional person.

Log cabin paradise

The house was beautiful inside and out. Everything was very organized, neat and spotless. Loved the sand area to park the boat and jetski until it was time to get back on the water. My family really enjoyed staying at this home for a week it felt like home. We are looking forward to staying there again.

Delightful, peaceful lake house

The location, view, and layout of the house were just perfect for our group of 8. It's cozy, but with plenty of room. The upper and lower decks are excellent for relaxing, gathering, reading, you name it. The owner was very responsive to our questions, and was quite helpful.

Great lake house

The home and accommodations were all well done. I definitely recommend this rental. The lake access via the beach or the dock was very nice and we used them both a lot. The canoe needs a paddle, as the kayak paddles don't work well with it. I had one son who arrived after me bring a paddle so we still made good use of the canoe.

The Dam Crows Nest

Deep water, good fishing! As super-hosts ourselves we can be a bit picky, and we would definitely vacation here again. Our group had ages 8 to 80s and everyone had a great time! The house was lovely; the beach, boat dock and decks were all put to good use - great fishing, great views (and loved watching the red-headed woodpeckers nest). Beds were comfy, kitchen was well stocked and there was plenty of parking. Level lot made for easy loading and unloading to get our toys to the water. Thanks for the memories 😊 Jeff and Patty (East Cavalry Red House Gettysburg PA)

About the host

Hosted by Rose Marie Lee

Host profile image
My family and I purchased the property in 1970. Because of an abundance of crows in the area and the dam is visible from the property, hence the name "The Dam Crows Nest". Until 2012 there was a 60' house trailer located on the adjacent property. I live in Virginia Beach, VA which is approximately two hours from the lake. My grown kids and I decided to build the cabin in 2012. My oldest son did all the tile, slate and stonework in the house and my other son built the deck. My forte is decorating. I hope you will enjoy our "Little Piece of Heaven" and will come back year after year.

Why they chose this property

We were invited to a friend's cabin just around the corner. We fell in love with the lake. Before the weekend was over we we knew we wanted our own place. We were shown this 1-1/2 acre property and fell in love with it. The property is located on a large point on Main Lake which wraps around to a private sandy cove beach. The log cabin main floor has two bedrooms, one with a queen bed, the other has a set of bunk beds and a daybed with pop-up trundle (total 4 twins) and a futon (double bed size). Washer and drier located on main level. The master bedroom on the third level has a king bed and a low youth bed, and a sleeper chair in the loft. The walk-out basement floor has a built-in granite bar, regulation pool table, televisions, sectional sofa, extra full size frig., full bath, two bedrooms, both with queens. The entire basement has slate floors. The basement level patio has ample seating. Cook out on the propane grill while enjoying the beautiful view off the large deck on the main level. Pet friendly! Sunday to Sunday In Season. 1 King, 3 Queens, 5 Twins, Futon (double) and a Youth Bed (sheet provided). Pillows and blankets provided. Storage cabinet with additional pillows and blankets. Four bedrooms have flat screen televisions, the other a standard tv.. The bunkbed room has a standard television that has cable and plays VHS and DVD's. Main floor living area has a Blu-Ray Smart DVD player. Air mattresses are available for rent. Must be rented prior to arrival.

What makes this property unique

The boat house and pier has a view beautiful view of Main Lake and the dam and is located on deep water. The perimeter of the boat house has led rope lightening. The boat house also has one-of-a- kind special led colored lighting. There is nothing like it on the lake. Bring marshmallows and enjoy making Smore's while sitting around the fire pit. There is also a regulation horseshoe pit for your enjoyment.
