Had a six day vacation mid August. Rained four out of six, and it didn't matter! Well designed and light filled, this chalet has more than enough communal and semi private interior space to give a group the room to spread out. Sage Lake is a beauty, spring fed and sprawling. I went fishing for Gills and Crappie, had no problem finding them. This is a quiet lake with many grandparents about on pontoons. Perfect! My spouse was inspired by the wildlife. Highly recommended by us both, Eric is a good host. ##### Edward C.

The house was immaculately clean, and contained just about everything we needed. The bedding was very comfortable, with plenty of beach towels (a nice surprise). The water in front of the house was free of weeds, and had stairs to step down from the dock…which made getting in/out of the water very easy (especially for our dog). The dock was wide at the end, which provided room to put out chairs to sit or fish. Whenever we had questions, the host was quick to respond, which we appreciated. We also rented their pontoon boat, which was clean and comfortable (much like the bedding, lol), and perfect for our needs. We would definitely stay here again! ##### Tina N.

We boated, paddle boarded, kayaked, fished and just enjoyed spending quality time together. Definitely want to come back next year. ##### Kristie b.

The house was super clean, organized, and well-stocked with supplies. The owner answered questions expediently and really provided everything needed to make the vacation great. From the guidance on nearby places to check out to the wonderful kayaks and fun family games to play with, we felt right at home. Not to mention the beautiful, all-sport lake right out the back door! We were able to launch our boat from the boat launch literally just a minute away and keep it right at the dock in their backyard for easy access all day long. We would definitely recommend and stay again in the future! ##### Deanna R. Stayed 4 nights in Jul 2023 ---
