This lakeside house was compact but very clean and comfortable. The beds were very comfortable; the AC worked well when we needed it, and there were plenty of windows and fans for when we didn’t. The owners were very responsive to our texts and even sent someone out to help us right away when we had a problem with the boat. Although there were neighbors close on either side, we didn’t feel too crowded or hear them too much. The lake was nice — not as great for swimming with kids as we’d hoped because the kids were a little freaked out by the weeds, but we saw some incredible wildlife: eagles, loons, ospreys, turtles, etc. The fishing off the dock was busy but the fish were small — still managed to catch enough keeper panfish to feed the fish-eaters twice. Really lovely yard and property. If you’re going to do a lot of cooking or cooking for a big crowd, you might bring along some of your favorite cooking tools (like a cheese grater) and some bigger pots and pans. I mentioned this to the owner, so it might not be a problem for future renters.
Overall, we enjoyed our week of fishing off the dock, sitting around the fire pit, sitting on the deck, and playing games around the big kitchen table.
