Tea and Coffee
Wonderful accommodations, well appointed, perfect for our group (two couples)Two frustration, though:1) Teapot whistled before full boil;2) Keurig - thanks! for supplying pods! We were frustrated by not understanding how to brew a cup. Eventually worked (several cups) but never understood what made it go. Printed instructions would have been appreciated. … and if THOSE are our only issues, you KNOW our accommodations were WONDERFUL!

Beautiful property, comfortable and relaxing. Highly recommend to anyone wishing a peaceful escape on the lake.
This home felt like home. Everything was provided to be able to stay for 4 days. Their home was clean and comfortable. Our dog Blu was also welcomed. A basket of towels and cleaning items were placed at the door when entering to wipe his paws and slso a blanket for him to lay on. Everything was meticulously thought out, and we loved appreciated the stay.

Such an amazing place, even in the harsh Winter!
We had an amazing time staying at Bob and Katie's place! We visited during the peak of winter and experienced lots of snow, which gave us breathtaking views—absolutely beautiful. The house was well-heated and fully equipped, perfect for spending cozy moments indoors. Plus, there’s a convenience store just 3 minutes away with everything you might need. Highly recommend it!

Great week away on my own
The house was perfect for what I needed. While closer to the road than I expected, the house was very comfortable. The bed was great to sleep in, the furniture was very comfortable to sit in, and the house it self was perfect size for what I wanted. The docks were out of the water which limited the grass space but I can only imagine how much better the yard would be during the summer with the docks in the water. The views of the lake were stunning on sunny and cloudy days. I defiantly would recommend this house.

Weekend Family Getaway
From the first moment we walked in the door, we knew this was a great pick for our weekend away from home! The house smelled so clean and fresh from the moment we walked in! This is such an adorable and cozy cottage and I am so happy that we chose to stay here! It is such a beautiful view of the lake and the mountains. The communication was quick and easy with the owners and they were so nice! My hubby, my two kids and our dog really enjoyed our stay. We truly were sad to leave, but we know that we will be back!

Adorable lake-side cottage
Such a cute place. So nice to have extra lap blankets, tea & coffee, and paper items included. The lake and sunsets are beautiful. Beds are super comfy. Perfect location to visit our college students with our fur-baby!
