Relaxing chill weekend

We loved the location and made use of a kayak to explore the lake. It was peaceful and enjoyed meeting people in the area. We ate at the restaurants recommended by the owners and enjoyed them!

Nice property and well stocked. Nice location and dock was sufficient for our 22ft boat. Only issue was the property did not have a washer and dryer and I didn't realize that while booking. Other than that the property was advertised and owners went out of their way to help with recommendations. Thank you so much for letting us stay

Perfect little getaway

This cozy little house was the perfect place to relax. The house was beautifully decorated and clean with the perfect amount of actuvities to keep everyone busy and happy. The owner even let us extend our stay an hour or so bc we just weren't ready to leave we typically rent a different house every year, but this will always be our first pick now!

Chapin Family Vacation

This location and property were perfect for our family! Just the right size for a family of four (all adults) ... living space was adequate, awesome outdoor amenities! The paddle board and two kayaks were well used by our family ... the dock was a great added benefit as we rented a boat and the rental place brought the boat to us ... saved a ton of commute time! Everything was very clean! There were great added touches of linens/bed sheets/towels (of all sizes)/kitchen hand towels/spices/paper towels/trash bags/tinfoil/baggies. There was an ice maker and ample refrigerator space. The deck had a nice table/chairs and great umbrella. There were 2 lounge chairs to be used down by the beach and several other chairs. All in all, great communication, clean house, accommodating amenities, ample living space and parking. Would definitely recommend this property to others!
