Great location on a lake. We appreciated that they had stocked firewood. Our kids loved playing on the frozen lake. The kitchen was well stocked, we enjoyed playing some of the games in the evenings, and the Alexa was a nice touch for access to music.

The host was extremely welcoming and communicative throughout the whole process. It made for a seamless arrival day, stay, and departure as well. The house was truly made to feel like a home and the community was extremely quaint as well. I cannot say enough how much I appreciated the host's communication and detail-oriented procedures to make sure every element of the trip was successful and enjoyable too. I would love to stay in the house again if given the opportunity! From the host, to the house, to the amenities, and much more, it was an amazing stay all-around!

We have been coming to the community for 5 years now and this is our favorite house. The location is great, able to walk to the beach or jump right off the doc and swim over it’s so close. The house is in great condition and very well kept with all the essentials for our 2 week stay. Shawn is a great host and very responsive. We absolutely would recommend him as well as this house for any type of getaway up to the area!!!
