Our whole family stayed at this lovely air bnb. The home was huge, beds were comfy, and the outdoor space was gorgeous. The place was very clean. Great communication. We had read a review previous to our stay that the outside area was a bit unkept but by the time we arrived everything has been cleaned up and was in great shape. Highly recommend.

Nice place in a great scenic location

Stunning surroundings with incredible views! The house is older, but spacious with lots of room for a family of 8. It could use some updating, but we made due. The house is run by a third party so it doesn’t have that Airbnb feel to it. Could use some outdoor games for family fun. Some kayaks or paddle boards to enjoy the water would have made this place a 10 out of 10! Bring extra shampoo and amenities if you plan on staying more than a few nights. We would stay here again and recommend this place to future guests.

Beautiful location, nice small lake. Had a fantastic time swimming, hiking and the dogs are now pro dock divers! Loved our mini getaway.

An enjoyable clean getaway that feels like home.

Gary Rose
Positive: Enjoyed the European design and indigenous decour. Views of the bay were amazing and suite layout were outstanding, amenities were exceptional , rooms and beds, including linens, were extremely comfortable and were a perfect home away from home. Remote screens for windows, fans, fireplaces were easy to operate and convenient. Secured parking behind a remote wrought iron designed gate added an extra layer of security. A beautiful escape and an opportunity to unwind, relax and connect with nature. Negative: The accessibility may be challenging to older guests with limited mobility issues, such as guests requiring use of a walker or wheelchairs, as there are several steps from the parking area to the front access door of the suite.

Nice big house, lots of parking, clean inside. We were hoping to enjoy being outside more with the nice weather but unfortunately the entire property was neglected as it was completely overgrown, grass was over a foot tall, no usable lawn area, tons of big weeds. The dock also needed some work as it was about 5 ft into the water and you had to walk over some rocks. We sent a message as soon as we arrived hoping for some sort of solution but we only received apologies and they couldn’t find anyone to mow the lawn or maintain the property. We even offered but no mower on site. Then someone came to look at the dock but just took a couple pictures and left, probably to repair in the future. Expensive stay considering the outdoor spaces were a main draw for us booking this place.
