I have stayed in a lot of lake houses - it's a summer tradition for my family. This was the best one I have stayed in! The house was small but a perfect size for my family of five. It had a rustic log cabin charm while also having all the amenities and excellent wi-fi (this is important if you're traveling with teenagers). The deck was fenced in perfectly so our dog could safely survey the immense domain of the lakefront, the true star of this property. It was HUGE! Three docks! We used one to swim from (it had a nice stepladder to the non-rocky part), one to get on the provided kayaks from, and one to sit and sip coffee and watch the boats on the lake. It has a wild and private feel. I know there's a resort nearby, but this has to be better. It had everything we needed (except, of course, sheets and towels, but that is easily planned for). The hill to the lake is quite steep, so do be aware if you have any mobility issues. But the many climbs we took up and down were well worth if. The home is comfortable, the lake incredible. This home is a true gem and we loved it.
