September 2025

The bed was very uncomfortable, rolling into the crack between two smaller beds smooshed together to make a “king”. We woke up with back pain and had to lay horizontally on the bed to try to sleep better and the linens on the bed had a strong smell of detergent. There are motion sensor lights on every side of the house making star gazing impossible and having a fire pointless because of the auto flood light . Had to tell our toddler she could peek at the lake but couldn’t go to it since it was someone else’s property. Hard to relax when our toddler kept finding things like a lighter, small sharp rocks, games with small pieces all at child height. The stated highchair was actually a floor chair with the strap broken. The indoor lights were a bright white CFL which was hard on the eyes. The coffee maker and TP were straight out of a cheap motel. This is someone’s renovated basement. This property isn’t managd by the owner, rather a middle man and it shows. Nice carpet though.

Everything at the house was really comfortable and peaceful. Our three year old was never bored and really enjoyed the view of the lake. Thank you so much for having us!

Had a great stay! This is a great location on the north shore and this rental felt really homey to spend time at after being outdoors all day. Overall very clean and they kindly had other supplies available if needed!

Stayed 9/20-9/22/2024. Lower level was very clean. Even though the lake was not directly accessible it could be viewed from chairs on the deck. Very quiet area. Would definitely stay again.
