A beautiful lakeshore setting. West House is well equipped, has all the amenities required & is nicely furnished and spacious. The deck and yard is a great area for entertaining and playing games. Can't wait to book this again!

Heatwave Holiday!

This is a very beautiful property and the interior design is gorgeous. The only reason we can't give it 5 stars is that the deck and dock need much repair. Screen doors in the primary bedroom and living area would help cool the cabin. It was a wonderful little get away!

The location of this property is fabulous. Great views of the lake from the house, deck and, of course, the dock. The house is well equipped and very comfortable. Great outdoor seating for dinner on the deck. Unlike a lot of rental properties, the Lake House has a BBQ that functions properly - it has good ignition system and temperature controls. No need for manual ignition. We will be back.
