Nice cozy cove on the lake, lots of space, room / chairs to relax on the covered patio with the rain even and lots of floats in the shed. ##### Matt L. Stayed 6 nights in Jun 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Leah O. 16 Jun 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Perfect Getaway! We booked a long weekend here for my dad’s 70th birthday and couldn’t have asked for a better stay! The home has been nicely updated but still contained plenty of original touches that have it character. The outside space was great! We spent a lot of time on the deck, used the grill and fire pit, and of course the lake! We were very impressed with all of the lake toys the shed offered, especially the kayaks. The inside was set up perfectly for our group and our teenager appreciated her own space downstairs. We’ve kept this home on our favorites list and will definitely be back! ##### Leah O. Stayed 3 nights in Jun 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Karen W. 26 Apr 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Excellent rental! We absolutely loved this rental. From the moment we walked in, we were impressed with the decor, the cleanliness and all the amenities. I don't think there was one thing they didn't think of. Five stars on cleanliness includes outdoor seats. We have never seen such a clean patio. No need to clean up before enjoying coffee while looking at the beautiful view. Amenities inside and out were excellent. The king bed was so comfortable. Location was close enough to hiking, restaurants and wineries. We enjoyed it all. The only thing we didn't do was take the kayaks out. I guess we will have to plan another trip. :)The emailed guide was the best we have ever seen, and we have stayed at a lot of rentals.Thank you for sharing this gorgeous place with us ##### Karen W.
