Relaxation at its Best with Hot Tub and Game Room

Jennifer DRating, 5 stars1 month ago

Super clean, very comfortable beds, spacious, all the extras from kitchen to games to blankets and game room + patio seating and hot tub. We appreciated all of it! Keith and team were very responsive. We had a small issue with the heat, which they told us about at check-in. We were able to get resolution immediately. There are dogs at the neighbors that barked most of the night, to which this is NOT Keith's fault and we understood that completely and is NOT a reason to not book. A separate neighbor let us know that cops have been called and they're waiting on the city to actually do something about it. The game room was so nice and this was the perfect location for our stay - the ballpark was close which is the reason for our visit. Highly recommend for family or friends wanting to gather! Loved it all.

An indoor pool area features large windows allowing natural light to illuminate the space. Two green inflatable floats rest in the water. Comfortable blue lounge chairs are arranged along the perimeter, while a patterned rug adds texture to the floor.

Lakehouse-indoor pool and hottub

JeanRating, 5 stars3 weeks ago

Stop looking for a place. This is the one. For a large group up to (12) I give this place all FIVE stars. My family was extremely happy. We received a home that was so loving spacious and just right for our needs as my son graduated from college. It was ten of us and it was so much space and comfort that we had no run-ins with each other. The hot tub and pool were everything. Wish we had more time outside of a weekend to experience everything but we spent so much time out. Thank you Al for your help and Rhonda, for great communication during this process.

The exterior of a stone-clad house features large glass windows that reflect the surrounding trees. A spacious deck holds two outdoor chairs and a table, providing a comfortable space to enjoy the natural setting.

Log Cabin w/ Clawfoot Tub & Starry Nights

CharisRating, 5 stars2 months ago

This is a perfect little cottage near the lake. It had everything we needed, including nice outdoor patio spaces for eating and a big firepit. You can't see much of the lake from the cottage, but it's easy to get to - across a quiet road and down a very long flight of stairs. There's a nice big dock for fishing, swimming, star gazing at night, boating, and just relaxing and enjoying the view (it's a particularly scenic section of the lake because there is no development on the other side of the water - just forest!). We loved having access to kayaks and enjoyed fishing off the dock. Would love to return in summer when we can swim and do even more water activities!

A rustic cabin exterior features natural wood siding with a gabled roof. A welcoming front door displays a seasonal wreath. Two windows on either side allow for natural light, complemented by a porch area with a rocking chair, surrounded by autumn leaves.

LindaRating, 5 stars1 week ago

The house was as beautiful as stated. We were 11 people and we all plenty of room. The deck around the house was so big that the 2 2year old twins had a great time running back and forth. It also helped that there was extra protection so they couldn't reach through the railing. Everything was child proof. I can't say enough good comments about the house. It was amazing. We would definitely be back one day!!

Love the a-frame with a nice view! It was quiet and very peaceful. The pond was nice and relaxing. The host made sure everything worked, including the hot tub which was ready to go. Wish the weather was nicer for our stay, we’d love to use the smokeless fire pit that was available. Allison was very kind and extremely responsive. Thank you for the nice and relaxing escape.
