Wonderful
Jeff and Joan and family provided a warm and cozy winter for us. The cleanliness was a 10! Anything you may need for cooking and baking is provided. The kitchen aid stand mixer, blender, Henkels knife set and a charcoal grill was much appreciated. Top class rental!! Smiling, welcoming and helpful new friends were made - we truly enjoyed our stay. . It’s a bit far out from where we wanted to be, but the whole experience made up for it. Thank you, Jeff and Joan!

Nice rustic house on lake
The hosts were excellent ,very friendly and kept communicating about trip-fast response And very accommodating with last-minute changes-would stay there again-cute place and dock for fishing- had a wonderful time and the only thing I would recommend is redoing some boards on the dock for safety -otherwise a great place and would recommend 100%
