John is a great host. He quickly responded to questions and was very helpful. The guest house is not facing the lake but we had total access to the dock and a back yard fire pit with a great view of the lake. We also rented a boat from John to explore the chain of lakes and go swimming at local beaches. All and all it was a fun place to get the family together.

Great house/location! Can’t wait to stay again

Overall we were very satisfied with this property. I feel the pontoon should’ve been included in the rental fee but it was still a 300 savings if you rented elsewhere in the area. Our weekend had a bit of chill in the air and we were going to use the fireplace but couldn’t figure it out and there wasn’t any instructions. There is also a welcome booklet that explains how to use the VERY NICE projector upstairs but it still wasn’t working for us. This was a huge bummer because we wanted to have the NBA Final game on and couldn’t. You might have to also look for the manual upon arrival as it was not right on the kitchen table like I feel it should be. That way you see it right away. All in all though; we had a blast. Oh yeah; the area also has some almost domesticated deer that roam the area and are not scared by people. That was really cool to watch. Hopefully we weren’t too loud for the neighbors.

The property is well maintained and was spacious — the patio and terrace do not overlook the lake , rather look at the hosts huge home - John was responsive to the few questions I did ask but he gave No warning about roofers starting early in morning and not permitting us to sleep in or to use the porch or open deck above - access to the land and a huge fireplace by lake was accessible to us but we were gone during day thus we did not enjoy the quiet of a lake cottage- no view of lake snd hammering roof activity keep us from enjoying a quiet cottage - the price of the overnight jumped 873 - John partially refunded 2 nights stay since we only stayed Sunday to Thursday am were hurried out earlier than 10:30 departure - John asked if we wanted a refund because of the 4 morning disturbance he had not told us about - but has yet to refund what we requested ! Beautiful property - be aware porch and deck do not have lake views ! The host did not communicate to us about roofers coming - thus spoiling use of deck & porch as well quiet during the only time we were using it! Always ask about the access to lake and any repairs going on during the stay - Beautiful property … lacking lake view but lake accessible via walkway - nice fireplace at lake but no view of lake from lodging. The lack of communication re roofing disturbance and thus no use of patio / deck and no lake view from lodging lowered my rating for the Host & Stay
