Nice place, slightly limited kitchen
We were there for two nights and chose this place because it fit our needs -- was reasonably priced, slept two adults, and was nearby to Hawk Mountain. I didn't pay that much attention beforehand other than that. We were surprised to find a full-sized pool table and a somewhat limited kitchen. We shouldn't have been -- it's all there in the photos. And we had a great time playing pool and we were able to cook everything we needed in the kitchen. Be aware you will have one burner and no oven. The hosts were marvelous in their communication -- quick responses even bringing us additional salt but not intruding into the unit, just leaving it outside the door and texting us. Even giving us some recommendations after we left. The common outdoor space is also lovely.

Short but sweet stay
My husband and I had a great overnight stay at the Carriage House. Everything at the house was well thought out, from the food to the largest guest book I've ever come across. We really appreciated having the pool table and shuffleboard and the comfortable couch on a rainy Saturday night. Wish we could have stayed longer. We really look forward to returning to the property to fully take advantage of all that it has to offer. The lake, the hiking, and even the fire pit in the courtyard will all draw us back. Many thanks to Mark and Diane for their hospitality. Hope to be back again soon.

Relaxing
This property was immaculate. We enjoyed the shuffleboard and the pool table. The lake is lovely...I wish we had rented some kayaks. We stayed three night. We only went out to eat once. The kitchenette and gas grill provided everything we needed to cook meals. It was very quite and relaxing. The hosts, Mark and Diane, were extremely nice.

Terrific stay!
We had a wonderful stay at Mark and Dianne’s house. We kayaked at Leaser Lake which is a short distance from their house, did a beautiful hike, and had a restful nights sleep during our one night stay. The communication with Mark and Dianne was amazing! The view from their house was beautiful, landscaping around their property is gorgeous, and the house was very clean. Overall everything was terrific!

We are excited to host your stay at the Leaser Lake Bed & Breakfast. Diane and I moved here over 40 years ago with the intention of renovating our starter house, but we loved the lake area and its beauty so much we never left.

You’re a short walk away from our county park, a secret gem only the locals know about. The lake and surrounding valleys was our children’s adventure playground and we are excited to share this spot with you.

Why they chose this property

If you want our B & B to be a romantic getaway, we can help make your stay extra special. There are Add-ons available for Special Occasions to enhance your experience.
Perhaps you need a quiet place to write your next best seller, a writer’s retreat to brainstorm with friends, or maybe you just need to get away from the chaos, we can be that too.

Perhaps you’re looking for some adventurous outdoor fun. Hiking, Birdwatching, Biking, Fishing, Golf, Paintball, Skiing, Boarding, Waterfalls, Hawk Mountain, Shopping, Wineries, Distillery, Baseball, Racing, Railroads, a quiet Writing space, Concerts, Casinos, Music festivals, Weddings…The list goes on.

Your Accommodations

After a day filled with enjoying the sights and sounds of the local area, we invite you to kick back and enjoy a lovely and comfortable evening “at home”. As the singer/songwriter James Taylor reminds us “At night the stars, they put on a show for free” and, from your own private balcony, stargazing is spectacular at any time of year. Or shoot a game of 9-ball, slide some shuffleboard pucks, enjoy the peaceful gardens, or linger with a cocktail or glass of wine by the outdoor fire pit while you reconnect, relax and let all of your cares just melt away. Perhaps you’d like to unwind with a fireside massage in your apartment or in our peaceful and secluded garden (weather permitting) from a local massage therapist (additional fees and advanced arrangements required – see below).
