Attractive and comfortable- we were very pleased with everything the property offered. No detail was overlooked- the kitchen was well supplied, and the spacious upstairs bedroom/extra living space and master bedroom were perfect for our family. Pretty lake views were an added bonus. Thank you, Nick, for a great visit! ##### Mary M.

Spacious. More TVs than necessary. Excellent wifi. Four adults and four children had a wonderful vacation and would definitely consider returning. Two recommendations- add an additional half or full bathroom, and a safety grip for entry/exit to tub. ##### Lorraine G. Stayed 8 nights in Jul 2023 Verified ### 10/10 Excellent #### Alicia W. 28 Aug 2023 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Great Find Our family enjoyed our stay here very much. The lake community was sweet and the beach was fun for the kids. We were able to take several day trips from this location. You'll find the place to be uncluttered, most likely with everything you need but no extra stuff lying around. You may want to bring your own books, games, etc for a rainy day. The space upstairs was perfect for kids, just keep in mind you'll all be sharing a bathroom on the main floor. Be sure to say hi to the horses up the road and check out the farm stand at Cold Spring Farm! ##### Alicia W.

Five friends from different states for our annual meet up (we switch the location every year). The property owner had great communication. House is clean and updated. Location is great right close to the lake. If I have another occasion where I’m looking in this area, I would definitely stay again. ##### Carrie H. Stayed 3 nights in Jun 2023 ---
