Excellent place to stay

Loved the location as we were there for a family reunion and wedding. Great hosts giving information in a timely manner. View of the lake was fabulous first thing in the A.M. and wrapping up your day in the P.M. This was the second time I've stayed there. Thanks

Great cabin

Suggest adding some towel bars or hooks in the bedrooms to hang swim towels, shower towels, etc. Also suggest replacing the twin beds with a new queen bed - better for 2 couples.

Family genealogy visit

My wife and her brother along with their spouses stayed in Watertown as it was close to many of the towns we visited to look up the history of their family for the past 200 plus years. The place was just right for what we were looking for and the views were breathtaking. It was a very quiet area so we were able to relax at the end of each day. Thanks so much for making our trip so memorable.

Lake spot

Great location on Lake Kampeska. Owner has paddle boards for rent. Easy access to get onto Lake. Owner was super accommodating and willing to help in any way. Had mints on the pillows and a basket full of snacks for us upon arrival. Will stay here again!

Great Stay!!

This was our 2nd time staying at this property for an adult girls weekend. The hosts are fantastic to work with, the house is cozy and not too far from town if you want to go in and explore. We have stayed in the winter time, so didn’t get to enjoy the lakes but even in the wi get, the view is beautiful! The bathroom is big and it has 2 nice sized bedrooms and an excellent massage chair. If you want a nice getaway where you can be comfortable and cook your own meals. Don’t pass up this property and these hosts!

Lakeside getaway

This was a beautiful place to share time with friends. The vrbo site didn’t give us information for checking in, but the owners were very easy to contact and helpful. It was a little odd that there wasn’t a dining room table, but the weather was beautiful for eating at the table outside. Easy access to shopping and dining in Watertown.
