10 / 10Outstanding·Aug 2026
This was our second stay at The Lakehouse, and we loved it again. It’s perfect for large, intergenerational families. The house has all the amenities you could ask for and more. Two refrigerators, ample storage space, and excellent appliances and cookware made it easy for us to prep meals for 14 people for a week. We all enjoyed the waterfront: swimming, watercraft, or lounging with a book. There’s lots of seating for relaxing and the beachside fire pit. The littles loved the play room, and the bigger kids had to be restricted on the video consoles, but did play some board games and even held a piano concert. Pickle ball tournaments, bags, grilling, biking, morning runs and yoga - we never ran out of options. The screened porch is great for jigsaw puzzles and a reading spot. Everyone appreciated the large spaces for gathering as well as the room to get quiet and privacy when you needed a peaceful moment. There is a well furnished office space with a printer, and the internet is fast and reliable, which our adults who needed to work part time appreciated. Paula is an excellent communicator with many suggestions for local spots and activities. We plan to try more of them next time, because we definitely hope to return. I recommend checking out downtown Chelsea for cute shops, restaurants, playgrounds, coffee shops and ice cream. Our whole group recommends The Lakehouse for a fun family vacation.

I booked this property for a family vacation with my children and four young grandchildren, and it exceeded every expectation. The kids had the time of their lives enjoying the beach, sport court, playroom, kayaks, beach toys, dock, and all the other amenities. There was truly something for everyone.The house itself is spacious, beautifully maintained, and comfortably accommodated all nine of us without ever feeling crowded. What really set this property apart, however, were the thoughtful touches provided by Paula. Baskets of goodies for us to use!From the heated bathroom floors and towel racks to the generous supply of paper towels and toilet paper, every detail reflected genuine care for her guests' comfort.We also greatly appreciated the quality of the kitchen equipment. Unlike many vacation rentals we've stayed in, the dishes, cookware, and pans were high quality and well-maintained—not the worn, chipped cookware that is so often provided elsewhere.Paula has created a property that feels welcoming, comfortable, and exceptionally well-equipped for families. We made wonderful memories here and are so grateful for our stay. This property is absolutely worth booking, and we would not hesitate to return.

We had a fantastic stay! From all the amenities to a fully stocked kitchen, we couldn't have been happier with the house. The layout worked perfectly for our large group during graduation weekend. There was plenty of space to spread out but also a large dining room table to sit together. The host was also very easy to communicate with and made the whole process seamless. We plan on renting it again the next time we are in town. Highly recommend!
6 / 10Average·Aug 2025
Our family stay was decent overall, but there were several disappointments that future renters should be aware of.The interior of the home was clean, well-stocked, and most rooms were comfortable, which we appreciated. However, many of the outdoor amenities did not meet expectations based on the listing. The deck furniture was in poor condition and not nearly as inviting as pictured. The screened-in porch also looked much nicer in the photos than it did in person.One major letdown was the fire pit. The listing led us to believe there would be a Solo Stove on the deck, but instead, there was a makeshift brush pile at the water’s edge—not at all what we expected or felt comfortable using. Additionally, the listing included photos of a hot tub, but it was not available as part of the rental.We also experienced some electrical issues during our stay, which was frustrating. And while the lakefront location is nice, swimming from the shore isn’t really an option due to heavy plant growth in the water near and beyond the dock.Important tip: check the property thoroughly upon arrival. We were charged a large fee for a broken window we did not cause, and since the owner is not local, resolving the issue was difficult. Also, if essentials like propane are missing, you’ll need to go buy them yourself and request reimbursement.For the price, we expected a more polished and hassle-free experience. I wish previous reviews had been more honest-we probably would not have booked.
