House

We loved how quaint this home was. Downstairs updated with newer windows/flooring. Upstairs was rustic, but warm. A ton of old lamps in this house added to the charm as well. Although it was cold outside and the door seals were not great, the wall heaters and gas fireplaces were AWESOME!! I truly did not want to leave. The stove and wall oven in the kitchen was great for cooking our Thanksgiving meal. We would love to visit again!!

House

Lots of space for our large family and loved 3 fridges and 2 ovens. Amazing views off the back. Would like to come in warmer weather.

House

This is a great place for a multi-generational (or any large) family gathering. Master bedroom with king bed and bath on the main floor, 2 bedrooms with bath plus a small bunk room on 2nd floor and another small queen bedroom with bath in the basement (no window). Three different living areas allow for everyone to spread out or gather for watching TV, reading near the electric fireplace or playing games downstairs. The kitchen was really well suited for cooking meals since it has place settings for about 12 people and lots of glassware. There are all the necessary tools for cooking large meals too, like large casserole dishes, multiple sheet pans, pots/skillets, some mixing bowls, and plenty of hand tools like a peeler, a whisk, mixing and serving spoons and scrapers Final thought is that the description is “Lakeside Oasis” and while we agree with the Oasis part, maybe not the Lakeside. It is located near the tip of a tiny “finger” of the lake where the water was fairly shallow (or was when we visited in November) and it is a VERY steep slope going down to the water – which would be good to know, as well, if someone has mobility issues.
