My family and I stayed here for an extended weekend trip, going down memory lane because we grew up in the area. We stayed in mid-October, and it was just beautiful. The tree's were turning and dropping beautiful leaves everywhere. The weather and location were great. Our host left us s'mores for family, and we spent a couple of nights around the fire pit making s'mores and laughing together. We couldn't have been more happy with it.

Just back from a few days of peace and absolute enjoyment. The view of the lake was just stunning and everything was just perfect. We enjoyed a canoe ride around the lake and an enjoyable evening around the fire pit. Everything was super clean and the beds super comfy. We all felt right at home the entire time. Hope to stay again next year. Thank you!

Perfect lake house setting. Kitchen was nicely stocked for people who like to cook. We baked pies and popovers with ease. House is furnished with comfort in mind. We are considering this house as an annual vacation destination.

This Lake House has everything you need to enjoy a nice long holiday weekend with close friends. Loved the access to the private dock with enough watercraft for the entire party. Loved the firepit. Loved the fully equipped kitchen in case you didn't want to cook. Loved the cozy seats inside and outside for everyone. Would definitely recommend this place to others and would loveee to come back in the future if available.

Great family house, it was a real home away from home! Very kid friendly- from baby to teenager! Games, portable crib, kid dishes, every water toy and vacation amenity imaginable. Including beach towels, sunscreen and s’more ingredients! Our family gathered from various states to celebrate a graduation and mini reunion. Marian could not have been any nicer and her home was perfect for our group of adults and kids.
