We had very few complaints, and all were minor. The only complaint was that t.p. was not stocked in the hall bathroom, which was of course used all the time. Obviously we stole from the supply in other bathrooms and it probably was just a miss when restocking. We really appreciated the accommodations for as many people as we had.

Lots of refrigerator space, large comfortable beds/bedrooms, a lovely grassy yard and comfortable fire-pit area. And our host Kris could not have been nicer, more responsive, easy to work with. I would definitely return to this lovely home!

Home is well furnished, like it’s your own lake house. Owners are great with communication and friendliness-willing to answer any questions. The home even seemed larger than the picture portrayed! We had a family reunion with 3 generations and the home was perfect sized. Loved the sunroom off the kitchen for eating and cards. Lake is beautiful and watching boats drive by was such a relaxing experience from daily life.

Great Property and Manager

We booked a weekend here to have a 40th birthday celebration for a group of longtime friends and it was absolutely perfect for it. There were plenty of beds for our group of 11 adults to be comfortable. The backyard is where this place really shines! It's right on the water with a nice gravel bottom ideal for swimming. The large firepit, deck, and hot tub were all great social spots. We had perfect weather, but if it rained the plan was to move to the basement with the bar and pool table. Also of note, the place is a 5 minute drive to Woodman's for supplies and several bars/restaurants. The owner provided their phone number and was extremely welcoming and responsive to any questions. We definitely hope to stay again!

Fantastic property

16 women who have been working together for 20 years spent the weekend at this house to celebrate a recent retirement. This property is spectacular. It is set right on the River and is very large. We cooked in both nights and the kitchen was great the way the beds and bathrooms are set up works perfectly for a big group. The beds are all brand new and extremely comfortable. We utilized the hot tub, the fire pit, the downstairs bar room with pool table and the large TV room for college football viewing. We had a few questions and Kristin got back to us immediately. She is a great host. My entire group absolutely loved this house. Thank you so much Kristin
