Blissful lakeside cabin

Lovely location. I could have sat and looked at the lake all day, but the town was walking distance and there was plenty to do. Everything was as described. My family had a great time. We booked hoping for snow, the weather didn’t cooperate, but no one went home disappointed. Highly recommend!

Perfect Escape!

We had a great stay here over Thanksgiving. Plenty of beds, kitchen items, bedding and towels. We were surprised the living room furniture was pretty beat up but was still comfortable. Not enough eating space, but we made it work. Downstairs was really cold some nights but tolerable with the bedding provided. View, hot tub and location were awesome! Would totally stay again 100%.

Weekend get away

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was more than satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: Our cabin was great! Close to town and eateries, on the lake, picturesque. It was a great weekend get away. The spiral staircase is no joke, so make sure youre ok with stairs before renting this cabin. The furniture could use a slight upgrade, there was one chair we didnt even sit in because of the printed sign next to it stating it’s difficult to put upright if reclined. Overall, we loved it!

Weekend Getaway

It twas a lovely cabin. Everything was perfect. The property management company was great to work with - very responsive. My only suggestion is that the signage at the property management company be more prominent. It was a little hard to find as it is inside a spa/hot tub store. Perhaps I missed earlier instructions advising this - it really wasn't a big deal and their excellent customer service more than made up this early snafu.

Pictures don’t do this place justice!

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was very satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: This is the first time that we have arrived at a rental and the pictures don’t do it justice. It’s an absolute gem of a place. Clean, updated and perfect location. A literal 13 min walk into the village and the backyard has so much snow play and right on the water. My family and extended family had such a great time we didn’t even want to leave other than to pick up some items from the store. It’s peaceful and the neighbor next door had a snow fight and ran sleds with us. Book this place if you want lakefront. While using the hot tub it began to snow and it was the highlight of our trip. The house has everything you needed. If you plan to cook, you only need your ingredients and seasonings. They have everything else. Thank you for the wonderful memories.

Beautiful Views!

The property had a rustic feel and was very cozy. The kids enjoyed the loft area. It was like a tree house with a lake view for them. They had most of what we needed to cook. we're a family that likes to cook. The only issue with cleanliness was the amount of dust on the beams. One was above the stove. They just need to dust a bit better. The check-in location as a little confusing, but its nothing you cannot figure out. We found the parking situation a bit frustrating. Its strange that there is a 2 car maximum for a place that sleeps 8. There was more than enough room for all three cars without getting in the way of snow plows or being anywhere near the road. We had to park Nana's car in a public lot and drive by to check on it every day. Not a task we wanted while on vacation. There was an outdoor light out but it was fixed while we were there which was good. My brother found the Jacuzzi a bit clouded for his taste but it smelled clean so we did get in a few times. The front office responds very quickly to any calls or concerns! They had great service! They seem to always be available for any questions. Overall, its a cozy place to stay! And the View of the lake is beautiful!

Outstanding Lakefront Property!

Since it was just my wife and I, it was great to find a smaller place on the lake, but it's actually much bigger than it looks in the pictures and closer to the lake than I thought. A beautiful property well outfitted and everything went as smoothly as possible. We will definitely be returning!

Beautiful view, quiet neighborhood, fully stocked kitchen, comfortable beds, dog friendly with a dog run for our dog, responsive property manager, but unfortunately not 5 star because there was lots of cobwebs and dust, the kitchen drawers and cabinets had crumbs in them. This is a lovely property but for the price we paid we expected it to be cleaner. The shower head fell off when we first turned it on. The property manager offered to come fix it on Thanksgiving but we said we could use the other shower and he could wait until we checked out. Property manager was helpful, but it needs a deep cleaning
