Love the house and area. Great host. Plenty of firewood provided which was perfect as a cold front came through and we all had a great time around the smokeless fire pit. Can't wait to go back and stay a little longer next time.

Dirty house in a great location
DO NOT stay here. We arrived after a days drive to the messiest, disgusting, worn down, unkempt place I have stayed. We contacted the owner who apologized, and offered several things to make a "5 star " experience. The furniture is worn out with holes, ripped nails coming through. It took us over 3 hours to clean place, after we bought cleaning supplies. There was blood on a pillow. Urine stains on the back of toilet, dirty sheets, food stuck to the fridge, abd the stove. For 8 people we had 3 rolls not of toliet paper.Owner offered to reimburse us for the issues, and for money spent on supplies.When we left 38mins late he tried to charge us more after all this. He had texted to ask us at 1130 if we could hurry up and get packed up. I told him were were headed out the door...packing truck. We then again pointed out all the issues with a few before, and after pictures and he decided not to pursue that. When we were 3 hours cleaning initially. He was going to charge for 38 minutes. This owner doesn't care about the condition of the property. He even admitted he hadn't been there in sometime. Save your money, don't stay here . The owner isn't someone I would deal with again, as he is dishonest. He never did reimburse for toliet paper (The house per its description has that). Bottom line the house is gross. The only pro of the house for us is it sits on a beautiful lake. They have out door games, indoor games, fishing poles, awesome fire pit. Lots of outdoor area to spread out, a

There were a couple of issues that were dealt with promply by contacting the owner who answered my txt and called right away!! Can' wait to come back! Thanks for sharing your beautiful home with our family ❤️ Do know that cell phone service can be a bit sketchy on the way up so map it out before you leave your house, just in case.

We very much enjoyed our stay. The property was very clean, cozy, and included many amenities. My kids were pleased with the basket of treats on arrival. We had fun fishing, kayaking, board games, darts, sitting by the fire etc. We loved being able to have our fur baby with us. We would love to return during the summer!

Very nice place!
We really enjoyed our stay this week. The house was very clean, well appointed for decorations and they had the kayaks, life jackets, fishing poles, everything you needed. Just bring the bait! Bring paper plates if you don’t want to wash dishes. There were many pots and pans, which was great. Plenty of spices, etc for cooking. We definitely will come back if we have the time. Owner of the house was very helpful and responded quickly to text. Thank you again Josh!!

Wonderful Home
We had a such wonderful stay. The cabin was clean, well maintained and it was fully stocked with pots, pans, utensils, paper towels, toiletries and even laundry detergent. It was nicely decorated and the beds were very comfortable. Plenty of sleeping space for us, parents and grandkids. The appliances are full size. My husband launched the boat from The boat ramp at Huxley Bay Marina, left the truck and trailer there and tied the boat at the dock on the property. The boat ramp was so close to the property. It was so convenient. We spent most of our time outside on in the screened in patio area. We would stay here again and recommend it.

Quiet Lake House
This is the place to go if you want quiet days and cozy nights. Our family thoroughly enjoyed our time here. It was just as the pictures showed and then some. The host provided so many additional necessities you forget about when going on vacation to a lake house. We fished, kayaked, tubed the lake without any issues or crowds. I would definitely recommend this place.
