The Lake Haus was just what we needed for a couple days of relaxation. It's very comfy and welcoming. The hosts were great and available if we needed anything. We will be booking again for some sledding and ice fishing in the winter.

Wonderful little house. Actually not that little! You could put an air mattress in the living room easily. Everything was top-notch. Super clean, super quiet, very pretty area. Excellent communication with hosts. Very well stocked with everything you could need, and lots of little extras like sandwich bags and coffee! Lots of thoughtful little touches like a phone plug in the kitchen. Nice cozy electric fireplace in the living room. I could easily stay here for a month. Hope to return next summer. Would give it 6 stars if I could.
