Dee is a fantastic host and the stay is fantastic I recommend it highly!!! The lake is lovely and the area is gorgeous. Close enough to major attractions but also hidden away from all the hustle and bustle of the city. Dee provided a sweet treat and even allowed a later departure. All in all it was a pleasant weekend by the lake.

My spouse and I really enjoyed our stay. We ended up not sitting at the fire, but instead at the dock. Being on the lake was nice. The house was small and cozy. No rodents or insect issues inside the house. We would do it again.

Overall our stay was great... my husband & I celebrated our wedding anniversary & Dee surprised us with a cake & a bottle of mimosas in the fridge on our arrival. Dee is a awesome host & I can't express enough how pleasant it was to have such a great host! The only thing that the husband & I didn't care for was the neighbors yard/junk being in our view from the back of the house deck looking out to the lake. They were friendly neighbors, but it was a eye sore looking out to a scenic view of the lake seeing all their junk in the back yard of the lakehouse.

Host very kind, communicative, and wonderful. House was fair/average. Pictures are deceiving as lot is very steep and on a diagonal, so neighbor’s property extended behind this house and felt like he was in our yard. Neighborhood was very unappealing.
Blue is rental, but gives idea of neighborhood.
