Comfortable for our family outing
We were quite comfortable at the The Lake Haus. It was very peaceful looking out at the bay from the firepit area and the sunsets from the dock were gorgeous. The game room was a hit with everyone, especially the golf and Tempest arcade games and the electronic dart board. The bunk room was very well laid out and the beds very comfortable. The kitchen and living room/dining area were a bit small for our group of nine, but we made do without too much trouble. This was a nice place to stay for our 3-night get-away. We took many walks around the neighborhood and encountered many friendly smiles and waves along the way. Our stay was peaceful and we enjoyed the accommodations. I would recommend this rental to others for sure. Also, I have to give a shout out to Emily and Bernice for their wonderful communication over the weeks/months leading up to our stay. They answered any question I had and the check-in/check-out process was so easy. Thank you.

Lake house
We enjoyed the game room, sun room, fire pit, and all of the activities in the shed especially the kayaks. The house had supplies we didn’t expect like dish soap, shampoo, blankets, laundry detergent, etc. which was a surprise to us. While the home has AC, I think a dehumidifier is needed because there was a smell which irritated some guests allergies and asthma.

Loved this cabin!
We found this cabin to be spotless and well-stocked! We brought more than we needed such as paper products but previous renters may have left the extra napkins, TP, and paper towels. There were plenty of towels and washcloths. Several choices of where to eat including a picnic table, game room table, kitchen table, outdoor table, and a porch table. The game room was fun, especially for when we had a rainy night in. The outdoor storage area was stocked with kayaks and a canoe, fishing poles, bikes and other outdoor accessories. We didn't have young children or a pet, but this would be perfect for them as well. The lake off the dock is shallow, so no fishing there but good for kayaking on. We loved the ample chairs for the fire pit.

Weekend getaway
Our trip was great. The house is small and is probably better for a summer getaway, than a winter one, but we made it work. The kitchen was well stocked for cooking and eating. The game room was fun, although some of the things were broken. The mattresses in the bunk bed room were super comfy. My one recommendation would be to pay very close attention to the pictures. I guess I didn't because I didn't realize there wasn't really a couch if you used the second bedroom, just a couple of chairs and there also wasn't a table more that more than 3 or 4 people could sit at. Great location and in the summer, it would be amazing. Thank you to the hosts for being thoughtful in the supplies available in the house.

Off season stop
Not summer. Not winter. Just a quick stop on some cold and cloudy fall days. We can imagine summer days would be perfect for a family or small group. Fall and winter lovely for a couple or maybe two couples, though only one shower inside the master bed/bath so it would be cozy.

Good Overall
The good - *The cabin had everything we needed! *Beds were comfortable and the game room was awesome. *The adventure shed was perfect for us. *Beautiful view and the backyard was perfectly shaded in the afternoon *With 2 babies we could still get them in separate areas with doors closed for naps and night time The bad - *The photos do not give a great picture of the bathroom situation or layout. The bathroom with the shower is through the “master bedroom” and the doors hit each other *The lake stunk, we thought it was the septic tank *There is not an easy way to get into the lake with a kayak. The shore is completely rock *The dock was way to high to even get in a boat or a kayak from the dock *We cleaned after we got there because we were still finding dog hair on the floor *The internet cut in and out constantly
