Great location
The house was set up well for our needs and the direct lake access was great at we could swim from the dock. A few things could make the house a 5 star: an AC unit in the loft as it was very hot, a dehumidifier in the basement as it always felt damp and the carpet smelled moldy, a deep cleaning and to remove old junk from closest which made them unusable.

We did enjoy our stay however the pictures made the house and yard way bigger than actually was. Trees are really grown up the cleanliness of the porches could have been way better.

Lovely home, just as described.
This property is lovely and the layout is thoughtful, giving guests places to gather or pursue different activities. The owners have obviously given consideration to having people feel like welcome guests in their home with updates and many extras not typically found in a rental. We had a family gathering with people from 2-64 years old and it was perfect. Beautiful area as well. As mentioned by others, the driveway is steep but the guest parking at the top was a good option for some when there was a little snow.

House is much more updated than photos suggest. Listing would benefit from updated, professional photos. We had a great time!
