This was our third stay. We always feel confident that we can expect a warm, clean, and welcoming experience where all our needs are anticipated. We'll be back!
This was our second visit to the chalet. It feels like our home away from home and I'm confident we'll return again. The host has put a lot of effort into anticipating guests' needs down to the smallest detail. We appreciated the fully equipped kitchen. The entire property is pristine and cozy with beautiful views! Beds are comfortable. Gerald was extremely kind, we felt well looked after, and he was readily available but not at all intrusive. Thanks for another perfect visit!
Everything most people would need is provided. Clean and very well set up. Hosts are great to interact with. Beds and furniture were comfortable and perfect for us.
This house was perfect! Small cove with a great swimming dock. Wonderful ammenities. Kayaks. Paddle board, lily pad for the family to enjoy! We had a great time and will be renting again!
The lake house was perfect! The kitchen was equipped with all the amenities we needed, and then some! We used the Blackstone multiple times and loved it. The host was very responsive when we had a slight hiccup with the grill which was remedied first thing the next day. The view of the lake was perfect and the dock was perfect for fishing, relaxing, and enjoying dinner. This was top 3 best VRBO properties/host I’ve ever stayed with. Highly recommend!!
The host was very communicative and went above and beyond to ensure our satisfaction with the stay. The Property is gorgeous and we really enjoyed the dock and the walk out patios on both stories that overlook the Lake. Lots of things to do on the property like the kayaks, the fire pit, fishing and grilling.
Our stay at the chalet was amazing and the host was nothign ahort of wonderful. He was excellent about communicating everything concerning the check in/out process, gave us some suggestions on what to visit and even checked on us during a tornado warning. We are hoping to come back for another visit soon
This property was very welcoming, clean, and communication with the owners were wonderful and friendly. I would highly recommend this property to anyone looking for a quiet getaway in a lovely lake. My son and I loved the kayaks that were available and the boat dock was an amazing place to hang out and do a little fishing.
Great Lake House with plenty of amenities! Owner was very responsive and friendly. We will definitely be back to enjoy more of the lake and relaxing nature this place offers!
We booked our stay with teenage boys in mind. My son wished to celebrate his birthday at a lake with friends. This property checked all our boxes and lived up to our expectations. There was plenty of space for all 8 staying. Great cove location for water activities when not out on the boat.
Gerald and Carol are awesome hosts, checking in to be sure we have everything needed and are great about helping everyone get on kayaks. Such a lovely area with hiking and swimming - thank you!
This property was perfect. There was plenty of space for everyone to spread out and not be crowded. The outdoor space was super comfortable and we loved sitting outside watching all the wildlife. The host even called to check on us when the weather turned bad, he explained the safest place in the house for us to wait out the storm. Will definitely rent this property again.
This was our second time staying at the Chalet. Beautiful view of the lake, quiet surroundings, and sounds of nature. The Chalet has everything you need to make you feel right at home! A beautiful place to recharge!
The lake front chalet was AMAZING in every way! The new dock was our "home" throughout our stay. The dock was spacious and provided a great view of the lake.
The hosts were absolutely incredible. They were responsive and great with their communication.
