Wonderful place, caring owners
This was my second stay here and I still love it. The fall colors were at their peak and that was so beautiful! And a bald eagle flew in and posed in a pine tree one evening. Amazing! There is a very good supply of things that are lacking at other places - toilet paper, tissues, hand soap, ice and even night lights. The furniture is comfortable and the overall lighting is good. I especially liked the fenced area for my dog. I really appreciated that the dock was still in place in October. Debby even texted me to see if I arrived safely and to check if everything was OK. I would definitely like to return.

Wonderfully Relaxing & Beautiful Location
Our second time to this property was just as perfect as the first. We had everything we could need and the home was very clean. The views from the property are just amazing! Our dogs absolutely love this property and the fenced in yard for them is super convenient. There is so much to do in the area, but having the kayaks there for the lake gave us such a peaceful paddle in the early morning hours. We would definitely recommend this property to anyone looking to stay in the area. Mark and Debby are great hosts. Very good communication, very helpful, And willing to go the extra mile if needed. Thank you for sharing your home with us again this year.

The house and location are even better than the pictures. The hosts are so welcoming and helpful. It was the perfect get away with our pooch. The fenced area is so convenient. The house itself is so cozy and has everything you could possibly need and lots of extras. We’re hoping to go back in the summer and really enjoy the lake.

Tranquility at the Lake
My husband and I spent a very peaceful and relaxing week at Northern Exposure. The hosts were responsive and helpful. The house was fully stocked with everything you could need. It was very clean and comfortable. We were thankful for the central AC since it was a hot week. The lake was perfect for fishing and kayaking. The area has many hiking trails, two country stores on each end of Wells. Took a day trip to Speculator and enjoyed beautiful lake views at Lake Pleasant. We’re looking forward to coming back. Thank you for sharing your vacation house.

Christmas at the lake
I wanted to do something different with my husband and daughter for Christmas. All three of us agreed the setting and home were ideal ! I packed a small tree and some ornaments and when we walked in there stood a tree and the entire cabin was done for winter/Christmas. So cozy, so picturesque ! It was a wonderful fun trip. I never met Deb but felt like I knew her, a good vibe. I was sending pictures as if she never saw her home😀
