  1. Lake Front
    Any property that borders the state-owned ‘buffer strip.’ Lake Front means you have access to the water for swimming and a boat dock if applicable to your home. You can go directly to the water from your door with no road between. Lake Front does not necessarily mean you have a view of the water, since much of our shoreline is wooded.

We welcome any dog which you know to be well-socialized, trained, and friendly in any situation involving others, both human and canine, as there may be nearby dogs at neighboring properties.

Vacationed January 2025

Reviewed on 2025-01-23 by Joelle

The main level of the house was uninhabitable due to lack of insulation. The main level living room was left untouched because it was too cold, even with the fireplace running. The main level primary suite was so cold we purchased a space heater- even then, it was too cold. We called twice for maintenance and someone came by once to check, but nothing changed.The rest of the house was great and as pictured. We probably would've given 5 stars if we visited in warm weather, but unfortunately our ski trip was stymied by the frigid first floor.

Thank you for taking the time to share your experience, Joelle. We sincerely apologize for the discomfort you encountered due to insufficient insulation on the main level and can understand how frustrating it must have been to deal with the cold conditions. Your feedback regarding our maintenance response is noted; we strive to address all concerns promptly and effectively, and we regret that this was not reflected in your experience. On a positive note, we are glad you found other aspects of our home satisfactory and as depicted in our listings. Your insights are invaluable as they help us improve our services and ensure future guests have a more comfortable stay. We appreciate your understanding and hope that you might consider visiting us again under warmer circumstances, where we can provide you with an experience worthy of five stars.
