We stayed for an extended weekend and loved the peace and quiet. It was nice to have kayaks to go out on the lake and fish, and the kitchen had everything we needed for cooking! Zeph provided lots of feedback about local spots too. Overall a great stay!

We had the best time! The home was clean and cozy! It was perfect for our family! There was so much to do and we enjoyed kayaking on the lake, exploring the woods on the property, having a campfire, and so much more! They were so responsive, kind, and helpful with any questions we had. We hope to visit again!

Lovely lakeside home. I stayed with my family (husband and 4 year old) and a set of friends with a 2 year old. We loved the space and amenities were perfect. The lake was incredible and kayaking was so much fun. Thank you for a great stay!
