COVID Break!

We had a wonderful time at Hidden Gem. It is secluded, and the pictures don't even do it justice. We are already talking about the dates we can return next year!

Fun Family Destination

We had a great experience at this well-equipped home. Would absolutely rent this property again. The only possible thing they might consider adding is a second fridge in the basement area. With a property that helps this many people a second fridge is always welcome! Overall we loved it!

Beautiful home in a beautiful cove. Our family of 8 had plenty of room to all gather in multiple spaces indoors and out. The kitchen is well stocked with all essentials. We were surprised that we had to take the trash 8 miles away though. It would be nice to be able to use the hot tub and fireplace. Heated pool would be nice also. The cleaning crew needs to pay more attention to details. The dock is very nice and we spent many hours fishing from there. We really enjoyed the fire pit area. We hope to stay here again in the future.

Great Family Vacation....with a few cons

The property has a lot of great qualities 1. Private 2. On the water 3. Nice outdoor living 4. Pool/ hot tub 5. Awesome master suite 6. Fully stocked 7. Great views 8. Spacious rooms 9. Teresa was available and willing to help Cons 1. No WiFi 2. Broken shower in basement 3. Dirty carpet in solarium 4. 30 mins to grocery 5. Filthy grill 6. Dirty Outdoor seating (most cushions, should not have cushions) 7. Dimmed lighting outdoors But the place was beautiful overall. The improvements were small but with the amount of money for the night it should be fixed. We would definitely go again if the cons were addressed.

Thank you Cianna for your review. I have passed along your comments to the owners of this home and it is there plan this year to replace all the carpet with hard flooring. They are also resurfacing the deck. I am sorry that the grill was not cleaned when you arrived. I understand the cleaner we sent over immediately was able to remedy that situation. We have not had the comment on the dim lighting outside before. I feel sure that when you come again to visit you will find the house even more enjoyable. SML VAcation Rentals.

Peaceful location, with a beautiful shaded pool. The house is spacious with plenty of living space for people to be together and have time apart. GREAT fishing from the dock.

Beautiful home!

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at the property. The kitchen was well stocked with everything we needed and we lacked nothing! We loved how spacious the home is with lots of open spaces. (The atrium is really cool but needs a little attention as cobwebs have accumulated all around the legs of the furniture.) While the view was great, you can’t see much of the lake as you are off the lake just a bit and a huge boathouse from a neighbor has blocked some of the view. Still a gorgeous waterfront home! The dock is SUPERB and we enjoyed it immensely as we brought our boat.

Quiet Estate

Great, spacious home with lovely amenities in a idyllic setting. The only downside is the views of the lake are relatively narrow.

I am glad that you enjoyed the home. The glass solarium is the perfect place to enjoy a cup of coffee in the morning. It is an oasis with lots of privacy. We hope you can come visit us again.
