Great location! Everything was very clean and well stocked - had all the supplies we needed. Host company was great on reaching out to offer any needed additional supplies or services. Beds/furniture were all comfortable. Location is walkable to Lake Tomahawk with a peaceful back porch. Enjoyed our stay overall, and would book again with host company. Only negative point i'd share is this house has a pretty open floor plan, so if you have loud family members in the living room downstairs, you can hear them pretty clearly in your bedroom upstairs. Aside from that, great place!

Great location, well laid out, spacious spot with good amenities. Some of the fit and finish could use some work (loose shower door handle, sagging upper dishwasher rack, front door latch doesn’t glide closed… you have to press the handle to close the door fully) but nothing that interfered with our experience. Would stay here again.
