This lake house is absolutely beautiful! I can’t get over the breathtaking views of both the sunrises and sunsets. The inside of the home is inviting and cozy, and it truly feels like a home away from home. It’s fully equipped with everything you could possibly need—from well-stocked kitchen supplies like pots, pans, cups, and containers to essentials such as trash bags, paper towels, toilet paper, Q-tips, and more than enough bedding and pillows.It’s honestly one of the best B&B-style stays I’ve ever experienced. I especially loved having a washer and dryer, as well as the extra refrigerator in the garage. As someone with a big family, I know how much of a lifesaver having two fridges can be!Even though we stayed during the winter while the lake was frozen, I appreciated how many lake-related items the house offers. It’s clear this place is just as amazing in the summer, and my family and I are already planning to come back then.The host was absolutely wonderful with communication. I had a special request, and they went above and beyond to make it happen. I truly can’t recommend this place enough—an outstanding stay all around!
Such beautiful sunsets
