Enjoyed visiting Oar House. Had everything that we needed for our stay. Beautiful place next to Prince Galitzin state park. Weather was chilly so planning to return when we can enjoy the fire pit and outside grilling. Thanks to Andy for sharing his place with us.

We really enjoyed our stay for the weekend. Although the weather didn't cooperate to use the fire pit, it looked amazing. The house had everything in it that was advertised and more.

Beautiful cabin! Just like the pictures. We adored the decorations and attention to detail. They even had corn hole boards with the “Oar House” logo on them. All the railings were truly oars! It is such a cute idea!! There were plenty of towels and necessities to make our stay very comfortable. The beds were even comfy and did not squeak. Very spacious!! The property is private but yet you have neighbors. A cute screened in porch/sunroom on the front was perfect to enjoy the morning coffee with animal friends crossing by. It was close to the lake and all activities we wanted to do locally. The host was super helpful in planning our weekend get a way and very responsive.

I had never used Vrbo before and it felt too good to be true how easy the booking process was! Not only that, but also the check-in process and communication with our host was easy and great as well! The host kindly allowed us early check-in and the place was so clean and has everything you could need! I would recommend this location to anyone looking to have a lovely, comfortable stay in a beautiful location! We miss the Oar House already!

I stayed at the Oar House to visit my family. It was a perfect location for me to work remotely peacefully and also spend time with my family. My parents stayed one night and it was the perfect "hang out".

This was such a last minute, spontaneous trip & we chose such a random, unknown location. we were so amazed and in awe when we arrived to this breathtaking place! Definitely worth the long drive and winter wonderland! Definitely recommend!!

Wonderful cabin in a quiet neighborhood. Weather was bad the day we were scheduled to arrive and the owner invited us to come a day early-with no extra charge! Everything was clean and easy to find. Teenagers were in the loft with plenty of room to spare. Warm water despite -2 temps. Great porch on front and side of property! We didn’t want to leave :)

Property was extremely clean and well equipped. It's obvious the ownership put in a lot of thought to ensure most comfortable environment for all their renters. You don't need to bring anything to the cabin except for yourself and food. We really enjoyed our weekend and will definitely rent this cabin again!!!

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at this neat cozy cabin that is conveniently located close to Glendale Lake and Prince Gallitzin State Park. We brought our kayaks for daytime fun on the lake and found the cabin to be relaxing and comfortable after enjoying activities at the State Park. The kitchen had all the necessities for preparing our meals, and the living areas are neat and comfortable. The sunroom is a great space to enjoy morning coffee, and the outside deck is inviting and quiet in the wooded setting. Our host was readily available via text and answered any questions promptly. This is a gem of a cabin with close proximity to the lake and park, and we plan to return for a future visit.

Absolutely peaceful
The Oar House was a great rental. Our family enjoyed the experience and I would recommend to anyone. There is a lot to do in the area or you can just chill , the owner provided us with everything we needed. Each morning our family would see up to three feet.
Thanks again Andy I will be sharing with family and friends

You will not be disappointed with this rental property. The home is very spacious and well maintained! We came to stay with our 3 young boys. They loved roasting s'mores around the fit pit. We enjoyed a fun trip to DelGrosso's Amusement & Water Park, kayaking on the lake and Geocaching all around the state park. Andy was very responsive and helpful! We plan to make this an annual trip!
