The location of this property is stellar. The home was comfortable & inviting. The downside to our stay was receiving a “report card” text almost daily about our vacation behavior from the host who lives on site.

We enjoyed our stay at “The Bird House”. The property is surrounded by trees, has a beautiful view of the lake, and felt very peaceful. We saw lots of wildlife during our visit - deer, rabbits, squirrels, chipmunks, birds, a toad, and even a turtle - which made the setting especially charming. The kitchen was also very well stocked with tools, and the large dining area with a big table was great for meals and having guests.The location is very central and convenient, while still feeling tucked away in nature. The host was extremely communicative, and although she lives in a basement apartment, we did not hear her coming and going.The home has a lot of character and feels more quaint than modern, so expect some creaks and an older cottage feel. Although the listing states it is wheelchair accessible, there are two large steps to enter the home, and both bedrooms are upstairs. Thankfully, there is a large comfortable couch downstairs. Because the property is very private, there are no window coverings, which took a little getting used to. Also, the central location does mean some airplane noise.Overall, this is a charming, well-located lake house with a lot of natural beauty, a well-equipped kitchen, and a very attentive host.
