Pre-holiday getaway

We picked a perfect week weather-wise, so a couple of us were able to get out on the water in kayaks. We also walked with our dog through the neighborhood, met some of the neighbors and felt welcome and safe. The house was comfortable, clean and well stocked. The only suggestion is that since we are all in our 70's, the last steps down to the dock could use a railing. Overall, it was a nice getaway!

The house is great! Lots of space for big group with amp parking area. Was surprised to see kayaks and multiple sizes of safety vests for all ages/sizes. Beautiful house directly on lake with beautiful views. Great fire pit with many chairs (we did not use) and great screened in porch-we did use. Rooms & beds were comfy & good size, nice size bathrooms.

Great Lake House!

Plenty of room for everyone and nice location for our weekend getaway. Far enough from the hustle and bustle but close enough to have things to do! Enjoyed an afternoon of antiquing and exploring Madison which is a short drive. Grocery store and gas station located within minutes of the property. Relaxing lake side location and views. Would definitely recommend!

Great location, even in winter

Great place to stay and we loved our time here. Clean enough; some detail cleaning that the very kind owners should expect from their cleaning team. Lower level a great place to hunker down; with no windows it would be nice to have a working fireplace for a focal point. Rooms are spacious and plenty of storage. Fun little creative nooks throughout. We suggest working up some entrance way steps or something so wet or snowy entry through the front/side door remains safe. Also, maybe a patio heater to extend the fun to the enclosed back porch. We had a blast here, very comfortable and lovely.

Beautiful home away from home. Beds were super comfortable, immaculate kitchen and living areas. Tons to do onsite and closeby. The fishing was great! Our kids had a blast pulling them in off the dock! My husband and I enjoyed an adventure on the two person kayak. The screen porch was a cozy spot to enjoy morning coffee as well. The host was helpful and responsive to our needs. We will definitely return, highly recommend!

Loving the Lake Life!

Wonderful and more than comfortable updated home right on the lake. My family of 6 and two friends of my teens had a wonderful week on the lake. The house had plenty of room for parents and 6 teens to be together or spread out when we needed/wanted some space. The four bedrooms and three bathrooms with the addition of a second family space in the basement is an amazing find for summer lake rentals. The fishing was great from the dock and having the use of five kayaks and a canoe made it a wonderful trip. We all enjoyed being out on the water kayaking, fishing and swimming as well as having the ability to play games and stream our favorite shows when the weather didn't allow for being outside. We also enjoyed exploring the neighboring small towns. A very peaceful location with access to everything that you would need. Communication with Adam before and during our trip was wonderfully easy. We would go back in a heartbeat.
