Get ready for a breathtaking lake view (see pics). The seating area by the water and the windows on the main level allow you to soak-in Sapphire Lake! Lake City Chalet sits on a cove, so it is perfect for paddle-boarding as it does not experience a lot of lake traffic.

The kitchen is well laid-out with a double sink on the island. Two bedrooms rest on the main level, while the other two are on the walk-out basement level.

Lake House Stay
This is a beautiful house on a beautiful, quiet lake. The kitchen and living area function very nicely although sound travels to upstairs bedrooms loudly. The view on the lake is very peaceful and amazing. We took full advantage of the peddle boat and even the stand-up kayaks. Two refrigerators were wonderful, and the bar downstairs is fun! One interesting note is there are two bedrooms up and two down that was not clear to me in the listing, but it worked out. The two showers are very small. There is no ice maker and no ice cube tray. The locks on the doors are interesting, and we had trouble with the dining room slider. Overall, we had a fanatastic time here.

Underwhelmed
Been to a few properties now and think this was the least nice but most expensive! Location on Lake was not good, more like a pond. It was very hot in the house so bought a few fans to help. Just a bunch of odd things.. like the mystery loft in the master? No dresser in master? No curtains anywhere not even front door that looked into major road! I would move dinning table in front of main, back windows and swap with furniture. Seemed odd that the furniture faced away from the windows and not even facing tv. Would rather have enjoyed meals in front of window to take in view. Positives- Location was great. Close to big and small towns. Lake was very quite. Check out process was nice, not needing to clean the whole house and do laundry etc. Fire pit was used nightly.

Great experience
We had an awesome time at this VRBO. Everything was very clean and had all we needed for the kitchen and bathrooms. The deck was extremely peaceful and we loved drinking coffee out there every morning. The dock and paddle boards were the perfect extra touch too. I would recommend this place to anyone!
