Our family takes a trip up north to relax every summer and the location and home made that easier than we could have hoped. THe house has everything you need and is "close enough" to whatever else you might want! We loved being on the eastside of the state and got to explore places we'd never been before. Thank you!

Family getaway
Beautiful home. Great place to spend time with the family. Its quiet. Great place to unwind and relax. Roomy. Beds are comfortable. Game area in the garage was a good idea. Plenty of things to do. Outdoor area is clean and well kept. Fire pit area is ideal for sunsets, roasting marshmallows, or just relaxing by the water. Would highly recommend if you're looking for a great getaway. We would book again!

Lovely Lake House
We really enjoyed our stay at this lake house and especially enjoyed the kayaks, paddle boards, canoe, and games in the garage. It was perfect for our two families with elementary aged kids to stay for a week.
