Someone said our property was listed as a 4-Bedroom because of the Basement so just wanted to clarify that. 3 Blueberry Trees line the property so feel free to pick and eat.

Cozy house with dog friendly neighborhood

Quiet neighborhood with excellent views of Elk mountain. We could walk dogs approximately 1/2 mile loop around the lake. The house is very clean with comfortable furnishings and we enjoyed a wood stove fire that was perfect after a day on the slopes. I would love to enjoy the wrap around porch and fire pit in the summer months sometime in the future. Host is extremely responsive and we felt welcomed

Family Getaway

We had a family get away for 8 of us. The place was perfect in size. Very nice, clean, good location. Our Golden Retriever loved swimming in the lake fetching sticks. We all just had a fun time connecting with each other , playing cards and board games and eating smores at night by the fire. Great vacation :)

Wonderful family birthday weekend

I booked this property for a birthday weekend for my adult children and I. I wanted a house close to a lake and also hiking, and this was perfect! The home had everything we needed to relax, enjoy the outdoors, and have a great stay. The fishing was excellent and the sup was used by everyone! We met lovely people at the beach and ended each day at the firepit. The property was pet friendly, and there were even dog treats for us upon arrival! I would recommend this property for its location, excellent communication with the owners, and amenities. Wonderful stay and amazing memories! firepit. The owners knew stay.

Great place to stay in the area!

We had a WONDERFUL stay at this lovely home! The owner was amazing! When we arrived there was a fantastic guide to all things in the area along with anything you needed to know about the house in a lovely notebook. The home location was perfect! We went skiing at Elk Mountain and rented our ski equipment from Guenther's ...both were less than a 8 min drive from the home! The house has all the accommodations you need for a GREAT time in the area!

Great Stay

We really enjoyed the rental. The guidebook was very helpful as well as the host. It was a quick trip to Elk Mountain. After a day of skiing, it was nice to park the car in the garage and use the wood stove. The kitchen was well stocked and we enjoyed playing games and watching tv.

Elk Mtn Lodge

Great place to stay. Cannot get any closer to Elk Mountain. Fireplace kept us warm. Beautiful home inside and out. The host left so many condiments (bottle of wine, etc.). Only downside was the strange showers & was very muddy due to the weather, not the hosts' fault of course. Dennis H

Wonderful experience

The property and location were great- room for our family of 6 plus our young dog! Our teens had a great time on the lake- swimming/fishing (and catching!)/kayaking and paddle boarding. The owner was very attentive and curious about our stay which was definitely meaningful- Highly recommend this location!

Great winter getaway!

We had a wonderful time staying at this house! We didn’t get to explore the area and ski resort as much as we wanted to due to a storm (the area is beautiful when covered in snow), so it was even more amazing that the place was a great place to hang out. Everything was very clean and comfy and cozy! Communication with the hosts was easy! We hope to check it out in the summer as well :)

we stayed at the property with our family of 5 and another family of 5 and our dog. bobby was easy to communicate with from the start and very helpful. the house was incredibly clean and very well stocked (only thing we couldn’t find that we needed were some cookie sheets). 4 of the kids slept on the couches and futons in the basement. the area is quiet and beautiful. we weren’t able to see the lake from the house but it was a very short and easy walk to the shared beach. i expected the beach to be crowded on a holiday weekend but it was pretty quiet and really lovely.. we would absolutely come back again.
