Beautiful Autumn Retreat

We had a wonderful and relaxing visit at this home on Bear Creak Lake. The home was spotless and so well-equipped with everything we needed. The lake was beautiful and we had some refreshing walks in this very quiet neighborhood. The owners were immediately responsive when we had a question about the dishwasher and with their help, we had no trouble. I would definitely stay in this home in the future - I would rate it top- patch!

Lakehouse dream getaway!

This house had everything we could have asked for...right down to a bag of marshmallows for s'mores! The inside was beautiful, beds comfy, and fully stocked kitchen. We had a great time playing pool, darts and sitting around the fire pit at night. We relaxed by the lake while the kids spent the day kayaking and canoeing around the lake. The area is secluded and we didn't have to leave the house at all. Would definitely book this house again!

Gorgeous lakeside home

We stayed in early January for a ski/snowtubing weekend. We got lucky with the weather as there was a storm over the weekend so there was fresh snow for skiing as well as a picturesque view. The house was fantastic. Beautiful design and extremely clean. More than spacious fitting two families of four. The owners ensured we had all the necessary information for our stay and had great amenities to use even though we didn’t have enough time to use everything as our stay was short. I would certainly book this place again especially in summer to enjoy the lake.

Beautiful Property

The property was very nice and clean. The owner was extremely responsive and attentive to our every need. Views of the lake are amazing! The property did well in meeting our expectations. The only recommendations I would make would be to swap carpets in the bedrooms for the flooring used throughout the rest of the home, and provide an additional heating source for the lower level. All things being considered, we could not have asked for a better weekend stay.
