We had a great stay! Trisha was such a great host! We arrived during a major storm and she stayed up late to ensure that we were able to find the house okay. Of course, finding the house was easy because she had made sure the driveway lights would guide us to the right place. Also, the location is beautiful and serene. There are views of the lake from most of the rooms in the house. The house is also spotless and incredibly well-stocked with all kinds of extras, and the beds are comfortable. We will definitely be returning to this home next time we are in the area!

This house on the lake was absolutely perfect! The location, view, and charming appointments made this one of our very best vacations. The owner cares deeply about this home and for the comfort of those who visit -- this shows in its cleanliness and thoughtful furnishings. We hope to return soon to this lovely home!

Before I arrived I contacted Trisha to see if she could stage some flowers and champagne to surprise my fiance for our anniversary. Not only did she do that but she got her a balloon and a box of chocolate also. Trisha went above and beyond in my opinion. The place was better then what we expected. The hot tub was a perfect temperature and everything was all around awesome.
