Scenic Lakefront Home at a Great Price

The house is in a very private, peaceful section of the lake. 2-3 miles to everything you need, downtown, etc. I also agree with other reviews that Linda and Norm couldn't be lovelier. They had just been in a car accident and still went out of their way to ensure we had a nice arrival and knew the layout of the house.

However, my family and I had no idea the water levels were so low. The outdoor space facing the lake looks nothing like the pictures. The dream of being able to just walk out the back and paddleboard was non-existent. There is barely an inch or two of water, and the rest is just mud for hundreds of yards until you can get to the main part of the lake. I have 3 small children and went out of my way to get something lakefront so I wouldn't have to drive and lug our stuff around. However, after 2 failed attempts to get through the mud on paddleboards to deeper water we wound up having to load up the car, drive a few blocks down and sneak off of someone else's dock.I honestly was shocked nobody contacted me to warn me and see if we still wanted to rent the house, as why else rent a lake-front property if you can't get into the lake? I did see kayaks make it through the water way out to the lake, but if you paddle plan to get your feet stuck in mud as you will have to get off your board and walk half of the way.

As for the house itself, agreed it's dated but the views and location would make it possible to overlook. Some simple tweaks would make it a better experience. For starters, there are no beach towels. You'd think they'd set it up for people who actually want to be active in the water. The outdoor space is really the gem of the house, and updating the old furniture would go a long way.

Overall, the wind was sucked out of our sails the moment we saw the water levels. So despite trying to have a good attitude and just enjoy our vacation I can't say we weren't highly disappointed we weren't contacted about the fact that there is no lake right now at the lakefront home.

Great property with beautiful views!

Perfect location, welcoming hosts !

Highly recommend

We spent 4 days at this beautiful home and our kids had the time of their lives. The backyard is a kids' paradise with boulders for climbing and a little lakefront beach. Very comfy beds, fabulous location on a cul-de-sac with easy access to the village, and owners that are second to none... so kind and attentive. We cannot wait to go back!

We had a wonderful relaxing time

The owners are amazing. You sure will have a lovely time. Thank you.

We had a great stay, plenty of room, and places to sit in living room and dining area! Very clean and comfortable! The location is great. Very close to every thing. Both balconies are big and the view is beautiful from everywhere in the house. Plenty of sunlight during the day, Thanks to Linda and Norman, wonderful people - My family and our 2 guests absolutely enjoyed our stay.
