10 / 10Outstanding·Jul 2026
The house is in a beautiful spot right on a lake. The owners provide a Kayak, canoe and lifejackets for their guests. We felt very lucky to have found such a beautiful setting.The house is spacious and has an old world charm. The owners of the property are a lovely couple with a vacation home a few steps away from the house where we stayed.We would have liked to have had a washer and dryer since we were there with a two year-old and a five year-old, but we were given information as to the closest laundromat, which was a fun activity for us.We were lucky to have had beautiful weather, but if it’s very hot, the air conditioning is not the best and doesn’t cool the whole house. We thoroughly enjoyed the week there.

Our waterfront retreat with kayak, firepit,and grill was amazingly RELAXING! It was exactly what we needed for a nice slow down and disconnect. Everything was exactly as pictured and described. Beds were very comfortable and the showers were excellent! Kitchen was fully stocked. No washer/dryer or AC downstairs but we did fine without it and it was mid July. No TV downstairs but was SO HAPPY to NOT have TV and spend time talking. Floated everyday on the water. Our hosts Joe and Karen were the best !!!! Super nice and live next door but don't let that intimidate you they are wonderful good people. Steps down to the water are steep so be careful. LOVE this little Oasis. Very rejuvating and refreshing

Very clean and lovely patio, plenty of room for 6. No soap in the shower/bathroom and one towel per person knocked them down a star for me. Also be alert - I didn’t notice there was no washer and dryer in the listing.
