Property was great, and had everything we needed. sellers were easy to communicate with and very accommodating! Space was accurately represented on the listing, it comfortably slept our group and actually had more space than we expected. We never even saw the owners that live in the lower level and we didn’t feel that they were intruding on our stay in any way like we were a little worried about prior to booking. Overall extremely satisfied with the property and our stay!

Beautiful, spacious lake home to celebrate milestone birthdays. The weather was iffy -so the theater room was a big hit.The only drawback was the lake: you wouldn’t want to swim there.

We absolutely loved our stay! The property has stunning viewers with plenty of activity options. One of our favorite spots was the area with the ping pong and pool tables, it was the perfect gathering place for our family. The downstairs tenants are incredibly kind and helpful, yet respectful of privacy. You won’t see them unless you need something. Overall, perfect place for relaxation, fun, and making memories together

Perfect for a family getaway

Very spacious and clean space, it’s essentially two houses connected with a central kitchen. Both sides have 2 bedrooms and a bathroom, so our group of 11 had plenty of space. The theater room was a huge bonus, we used it pretty much every evening. Everything was clean and well-kept. It has a very homey feel, not overly modern and plain like some other rentals tend to be. It really is the perfect place for a lake getaway with a group. The pontoon was great, and the fishing off the dock was an awesome place to introduce a few people to fishing. We all caught fish, and I even got a good-sized bass just off the dock.There are some stairs involved, but the views from the deck and the house make it well worth it. There’s a fridge on the deck and a bathroom at ground-level, so it’s easy to spend a whole day outside. The neighbors even welcomed us and chatted for a bit!If you have a group and want an awesome lake experience, I can’t recommend this place enough! We’ll definitely be back.

Weekend At the Lake

We had a great experience while at Cedar Escape. The cabin was spacious and very nice. Having the grill, fire pit, and garage spaces were all huge advantages over some other places I’ve stayed. And they movie room was just the cherry on top. Great views of the lake with easy access. The neighbors were friendly and it was very easy to get to from the interstate. Would definitely come back!

Amazing Place

The place is amazing! The kids loved making s’mores in one of the fire places and they loved watching movies in the movie theater curled up in a blanket. One thing that we noticed right when walking in was the smell of cigarette smoke. There were cigarette butts on the outside deck and an ashtray filled with cigarettes outside as well. We eventually got used to the smell.

Game haven at the lake

This was a great place for our family who likes to play lots of games. The bedrooms were arranged well to give us lots of space. Since the lake was rather overgrown, we spent more time inside playing games and made full use of the game room every day. We also loved taking the kayaks out in the early morning to look for wildlife. The kids also appreciated having the beach and playground so close-by.

The perfect peaceful lake house

Susan’s lake house was the perfect, peaceful spot for our family to relax. It has everything that anyone could ask for. Plus the use of the super comfy pontoon was the cherrie on top. We could not have asked for a better week or lake house to stay in. We hope to be back in the near future!

Outstanding Cabin

We celebrated Christmas and our 50th wedding anniversary at Susan's lake home. It was perfect. The layout gave us lots of room with 8 adults and 4 grandchildren. The game room and movie theater room were huge hits! The beds were all very comfortable and the view magical on a winter's night. All in all, the entire family would use one word to describe this property... PERFECT!
