We had a wonderful stay by the lake’s edge. Spectacular sunrises, falling leaves and sparkling blue waters made for a perfect stay.

The house was good for 4 adults and 2 kids, it was clean and well stocked. It stayed warm during the colder nights. The check in and check out was really chill. The lake was beautiful!

This is a cute cottage on a sweet little lake. Very clean with the exception of the stovetop. Pretty warm inside though there are many fans and a free standing AC on the porch which if you raise the windows in the living room will eventually cool things off. Our beds were quite comfortable. The view is lovely as is the sunrise. We did not use the boats, paddleboards or Kayaks but for someone outdoorsy staying longer this would be a plus. Tough dirt road and very dark at night. Can be difficult to find.

There was both good and bad with this property. I will start with the bad because first impressions and experiences mean everything. 1. When we pulled up to the home, we admired the lake near sunset. We quickly discovered the lawn between the house and lake was uncut, with grass 2+ feet tall. The chairs on the lawn were being swallowed by the grass. We then saw no path to the pier without walking through high grass. On day 3, I got a tick on my leg, dug in and it bled pulling it out. 2. I contacted Vacasa and got the runaround about the lawn and who could cut it. 3. After we settled in, I discovered 3 trash cans worth of trash scattered about in the back of the shed. It was disgusting. Thankfully Vacasa did remove the trash about 18 hrs into our stay. 4. It was clear by the middle of our stay that the lawn wasn't going to be cut. Vacasa gave me a whole $25.07 refund (less than 1% of our rental). We traveled a good 12 hrs to get here, so we tried to make the best of it. The home is very old, but there are parts we grew fond of. The back enclosed porch turned out to be very relaxing. We spent a good amount of time there and watching the changeable colors of the sky and lake. We even saw a bald eagle twice. The beds were very squeaky, so sleeping was difficult at times, but manageable. The kitchen mostly had what we needed. If the lawn was cut, the trash was not an issue, I would have given 4 stars. Im giving it 2 because we couldn't do what we planned

The house offered great access to the lake with the dock and the ladder was helpful in getting in/out of our tubes. The house was as described and we enjoyed time on the lake, grilling on the deck, and convenient access to Portland. We couldn’t figure out where the paddles for the kayaks were but we brought our own tubes and used those instead. The lake was so quiet and peaceful. The house was clean and with the all of the windows open and fans on we were able to cool the house down to a comfortable temperature for sleeping. The kitchen was well stocked for cooking. Definitely recommend this house!
