This little house could not have more perfect for what we needed! The beds are comfortable, and there was even a tiny little living room. Thoroughly enjoyed our stay here. Communication with the host was great. And you can’t beat the lakefront view!

Cute tiny house - very quiet and peaceful place on the lake! Super comfy bed! Just a few more critters than I like but understand since it's like you are in a tree house! Easy 20 min drive to campus. Fun restaurant across the cove.
