"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: The home, waterfront and grounds worked out beautifully for all 3 generations. Spacious and well appointed interior and exterior, ample parking, plenty of dock for fishing and lounging, shallow water for kids to play and swim in and deep enough for fishing. The nearby park and miles of bike trail were used by everyone.Would definitely recommend."

"Cannot believe how awesome this house was! Beautifully decorated & cleanest property I've ever rented. The kitchen was stocked with everything that you could possibly need. The beds were soo comfortable. The location was perfect. The younger grandkids loved finding little frogs on the shore of the lake. We had smores by the fire pit a few nights, grilled out, and lounged with drinks by the lake. The host was very welcoming and always responded to questions quickly! Couldn't ask for a better host.Such a beautiful area. Haven't been here in years but glad we came back. Our adult kids (who came to this area for many years in a row when they were little) totally enjoyed it & showing their kids all that they used to do & places they went to.Was able to bring our dog who loved it too!"

Charming waterfront cottage with shared firepit, canoe, paddlebaot & docks

8/10 Good
"The property was very clean. Host responded quickly but we needed to consult the neighbors about shared canoes, kayaks, paddles, life vest, etc. The instructions provided by the owner for the water sports was poor, questions remained. No grilling but there was a grill next to the cottage. The kitchen was lacking pans, cookie sheet/pizza pan, glassware. Better lighting was needed in the kitchen. Loved the location on the river and the screened porch was awesome! Good hot water and water pressure, nice towels and linens."
