Great location! We loved the deck and the views. Only negative was some of the house was very outdated- not so comfy beds or pillows. But location was amazing.

We really enjoyed our stay here and would recommend to anyone looking for a great place in a great location for enjoying the north shore. The house was as advertised and very comfortable from the moment we entered. The location allows you to get to the trails, falls, and attractions in the area and still get back home to enjoy the stars and lake from the beautiful deck.
