The house, although dated, has a seamless European vibe with fixtures and details that are uncommon, authentic and charming. The home was obviously much loved and cared-for when it was built and is an absolutely perfect summer home. The location is so beautiful, overlooking the turquoise water of ghost lake with multiple patios from which to take in the view. We went with friends and cooked gourmet meals together in the open kitchen then feasted at the big dining room table that is the focal point of the main floor. It was delightful. The place has also seen better days... The grounds are not well cared-for with lots of dead plants, most things are quite worn-out, with broken stairs to the water and a completely buckled and inaccessible dock. Even with all of that, we still just loved this place for its uniqueness and character. ##### Rebecca R.

The rooms were very comfortable and spacious. The house was beautiful and set up very well for us. The living arrangements are really well set up.The house had all the amenities are gonna need, and anything that you do have to bring is emailed to you in advance. Communication with the host was super easy.The main reason I booked, this house was for the accommodation size and the hot tub!Accommodations were perfect. I wish the hot tub would’ve been a bit more updated, but I was communicated that the well water does stain. Also directions to the house was temporarily difficult, but I recommend using Google maps instead of Apple Maps! It does seem like you are trespassing on private property because you do drive down an unmaintained gravel road for a little ways.Check in and check out was super easy.I would definitely stay here again! It’s a perfect quiet retreat, not far from the city. ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/45d94d3b-75fa-469a-a30d-13b8d7964f18-1748888073086.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/2dab43e8-0eb1-401d-939f-992621751e67-1748888072214.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/ff504b00-d95b-49d8-bf1c-dfca65b0a7c3-1748888070507.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/8f57c3c6-0fac-4809-9071-450a53522e95-1748888070549.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ##### Holli D.

Stayed 3 nights in Sep 2022 ### 8/10 Good #### marina s. 12 Sept 2022 Liked: Location #### Ghost Lake A beautiful view of the lake! A lovely, private property that could use some TLC and maintenance. Overgrown, needs deep cleaning, dusting, cupboard and kitchen reorganization. There were minimal towels, no hand soap, no kettle, some rickety furniture. (I got stabbed in the back by an upholstery nail of one such dining room chair.) The dock needs the approach fixed as a longstanding beaver lodge has built over it leaving a dangerous, slippery approach. Some deck furniture was rotten rattan which should be thrown out and replaced. Do bring your own water as the well water is very odorous. A manual should be provided for operations of appliances, and effort to provide tourist information on places to visit (like the Wolfdog Sanctuary nearby) etc. There was only a lockbox entry, in an isolated location. We really enjoyed the hot tub in the trees! But bring your own lake toys, books and family games as there weren't any... Of all the VRBO places I've been to, this one made the least effort for travelers. This could be a phenomenal property! ##### marina s.
