A relaxing getaway
This is a lovely spot in the woods. Beautiful views from the house and deck. It has a nice little lake for the kids to kayak on, kayaks provided. It also has a place for a small bonfire to enjoy and make s'mores. Our family had a wonderful weekend here.

Beautiful chalet on a private lake
What a beautiful little home on a private lake! House was clean and well-stocked. The primary bedroom’s mattress was very comfortable (something most rentals lack). The fire pit on the deck was perfect, and the s’mores station was a great touch! We loved having direct access to the lake so we didn’t have to drive anywhere. We had a great time. We would love to come back!

Great location
The house was on a quiet small lake. Perfect! Everyone enjoyed the kayaks and fishing. The house was clean and well stocked. We enjoyed some kikes before the rain set in. But we played games and watched a movie. All in all a great weekend.

Relax and Unwind
Sycamore is a lovely property on a small pond/lake. It has a beautiful deck with outdoor fire table as well as an indoor fireplace. There's also a fire pit by the water to make smores. Plenty of chairs. Everything needed for a comfortable get away. Toys to help entertain the kids as well as 2 kayaks. Enjoyable.

Everything You Need...Perfection!!!
The house was perfectly appointed. The home owners clearly take pride in the home and value their renters. Everything we could have possibly needed was at our fingertips. A smores recipe list and all the fixings were in a cute little tote to take down to the darling firepit area. They even provided a lantern, lighter and marshmallow roasting sticks. It was very cute. We've stayed at Insbook before. In our past stays, we've been a little disappointed in the property when we see it and try to stay there. When things are dirty, broken, leaky, not functioning properly and uncomfortable, you know that the owner doesn't stay there and doesn't care about the renters. THIS HOME IS WELL LOVED AND IT SHOWS! From the darling lake, well maintained deck and dock to the kayaks, life jackets and Lillypad...what a blast. We left only to get coffee from the new cafe' and take out one night at the restaurant. We could have stayed a week! The last thing I'll mention is that there instructions for everything. That was very refreshing. The welcome book had most everything you needed, but there were also laminated sheets here and there for with instructions. No guessing means no frustration! Communication with the host was also prompt and courteous. Once again, so much better than dealing with a management company! We would stay again and again! Thanks for attention to detail! Jill

Great Family Weekend
We had such a nice weekend. The private lake and activities were so much fun. Our children loved the kayaks, fishing poles & the lily pad. We all loved the fire pit and s’mores- even our dog enjoyed relaxing by the fire. In the future, you may want to add a few things to the kitchen, foil, plastic wrap, other pans and baking dishes. Also, since the rental is fairly new, you may want to stick up on refrigerator essentials like mayo, mustard, dressings etc. a few hooks in the bathroom will help with drying towels. Thank you so much!!

Great week away!!
Enjoyed every aspect of the trip. We rented a golf cart from a local which was the best decision we could have made to get around the resort. The house and semi private lake was fantastic for swimming and fishing. The pool is a great place for a lake break…be wary that the restaurant attached to the pool is frequently closed. The regular restaurant was available regularly. We did go to the brunch, it was OK… not great. I’d opt for a home meal. The house was perfect for us. We hardly spent time inside but when we did we enjoyed the board games and hanging out on the deck. The s’mores set up was perfect for our boys. We also found a local person (Lynn helped) to rent a pontoon for a Lake Aspen day. Lynn was super responsive and a great host. All in all, amazing. Highly recommend.

Amazing Lake House
This place was all we wanted and more. The owners are super responsive for any questions, and I asked alot of questions before hand. When we arrives onsite, the check in was exactly as they said and awesome provision of materials for smores and different recipes. My son and I loved kayaking and we all loved the pool and tge clubhouse. Even with small hiccups, because of weather, all was still amazing and could not find a better place.

Peaceful getaway
We had an excellent, quiet getaway. The house was spotlessly clean and full of thoughtful extras - a s'mores bar, stacks of firewood, a heat lamp next to the shower, a small battery-operated lantern, nightlights for the kids. The lake is small and lovely and the neighborhood is peaceful. We will definitely be back. Thank you for hosting us!
