We had a great stay, the house was clean and well equipped. We enjoyed the location and the kids spent hours skipping rocks at the rock beach. We enjoyed the good local food that is just a short walk away. Looking forward to coming back.

This house had everything we needed! MaryKate was a fantastic host. She met us when we arrived, gave us a few tips and tricks on the house, the parking, and the area. Communication was super easy, and she was very responsive. The location was top-notch. Right across the street from the lake, and so many things were within walking distance. Will definitely check to see if this house is available again next time we head “up North!” Highly recommend!!
