Two night respite

Relaxing stay in a tranquil setting. Cozy family room with a view of the lake. Great for drinking coffee, reading and watching movies. The cottage was rustic with lots of character. The host was very responsive, and permitted a later checkout time. Overall, very satisfied with this accommodation, and would highly recommend.

The property looked exactly as indicated in the pictures. Lake access would have been nice, but not we were able to visit the shoreline elsewhere during our travels. The neighborhood was quiet, low traffic, and all the deer in the area was a pleasant surprise. We had excellent communication with VRBO and the owner. The neighborhood had some water issues, but a local restaurant was courteous and provided us with water to take care of needs at the house. The owner communicated the issue immediately and was eager to make accommodations to ensure we continued to have a great weekend. I'd recommend this home to anyone looking for space in the area.

Relaxing comfortable stay!

Beautiful house with a great view of the lake. Clean modern and comfortable Kevin is easy to work with. Overlooks Capri Marina where we have our boat. Many nice places to eat in the area. If you need a place to relax look no further. We already booked for July.!

Life is good by the lake

It was our first time renting a house. We had a great time and we were so pleased at how clean and well maintained the house was. Our vacation was too short and would love to come back next year.

Quiet weekend on the lake

Visited the property for a wedding weekend. Beautiful view of the lake. Lots of wildlife around. VERY peaceful. Kitchen has everything you need. While I wish the bedrooms were a little roomier, the beds were super comfortable. Highly recommend this property.

Cozy and Relaxing Stay

We had a really great stay at Kevin's lake property. We went with another couple we are friends with and were looking for a quiet, relaxing weekend away from the city. That is exactly what we got! The property was exactly like the pictures and we felt right at home. There were trails very close by which we loved and the view of the lake across the street was gorgeous. Would definitely come back and stay again!

My daughter and I enjoyed our stay. The place has a cozy feel to. Love that there was a grill (I love grilling in the summer) the firepit was extremely enjoyable and access to there Kayaks greatly appreciated. All furniture including the beds were comfortable! My one issue (which isn't so bad) was my daughter opened the front door, once open we couldn't lock it. To solve that I used the door and a chair in front of the door at night. Overall it was a fantastic place for a lake gateway!!
