Relaxing place to stay and enjoy nature. Cozy and comfortable on the inside, with all the amenities you'd expect for a full house. Lots of natural light from the windows adds to the enjoyment. Beautiful lake and foliage, no ambient light and quite peaceful at night. Would definitely come back and try this house in the summer to get the lake and fishing experience.

My wife, mom, and I enjoyed a spontaneous weekend trip and we couldn’t have picked a better home to relax in! Only difficulties were the stone steps leading down to the water, two of us have had knee surgeries so it was a bit uncomfortable. Otherwise we enjoyed a bonfire and s’mores each night, fishing, paddle boating, kayaking, and morning coffee on the decks. We were pleasantly surprised by the French press too!!! Beds were comfy, location was private and with all the comforts of home we were happy campers.
