Absolutely Fabulous!

Fantastic property! After having to make a last minute reservation, the host was just wonderful! This was a beautiful cabin and Lake Avalon is just as gorgeous as we remembered. Highly recommend this property and hope to return soon.

Our new favorite vacation spot

Our family got a late start in booking our summer vacation. We are a family of 13, so it is not always easy to find a place that will accommodate us all. Then we found the listing for this beautiful cottage on Avalon Lake, and we are so happy we did. Jill was a great host from the beginning. She answered all my questions about the listing and was extremely accommodating. The cottage was perfect, very clean and well-appointed with everything that my family could need. Even with the whole family in the cabin we did not feel like there was not enough room. I cannot say enough good about the lake itself. It is just beautiful. Crystal clear and just large enough to play on the seadoo safely, but not so large that it ever got rough. We had absolutely gorgeous weather so our stay for the week was perfect. Two mornings we were greeted by a Bald Eagle that took up in a tree right next to the cabin. It was awesome just sitting on the deck and enjoying the beautiful view. This is for sure a place that my family will consider for another stay. Thank you Jill for sharing your piece of paradise with myself and my family. We made memories that will last a lifetime.
