Perfect family getaway

We had a wonderful week at this house! It was my husband and Me, our 3 month old, and our dog. The house was well stocked with kitchen basics, bath towels, lake towels, soaps, and grill. The lakefront access, fenced in yard, and gated deck were amazing for us as a family especially with our dog. He was off leash all week and we all lived outside from wake up to bedtime. The dock was safe, water was cool, and we laid on lawn chairs all day. We would definitely stay here again - no complaints! Owner was super responsive to questions and has seamless check in / out. Close to town and wineries if you want to explore! The only con is no AC as it was warm during the nights, however, the house had many box fans in each room to help.

Great place for families

We had a great time at this property! The large wrap around porch was nicely fenced in so our dog and 16 month old granddaughter could safely be contained. The kitchen was fully stocked with everything we needed. This place had a ton of charming character. It was hot for many of the nights we were there but there were fans in every room. The owner Julia was very responsive and accommodating. We had a nice week at the Lake House. Ann

Amazing Week

We had an amazing week on the lake, with everything we could have needed and more in this charming old lake home. The home was the perfect size, with a huge front porch for relaxing and a huge dining room for dinners and game nights. The home had everything you would need to entertain and the hosts were very gracious and welcoming. Highly recommend this home for a family vacation .

PERFECT

We had a wonderful week at a perfect cottage. The porch provided the perfect setting for morning coffee and evening cocktails. We had the entire family around the dining room table (10 adults and two children). It could not have been nicer. Thank you Julie!
