This was the equivalent of a close family member giving you the keys to their lake home. It's not a hotel -- you're on your own to maintain cleanliness while you stay there - but you're free to use anything they have on offer. We stayed for six days, cooking huge family dinners, sitting out at the fire bowl, napping in our respective corners, enjoying time on the covered decks and watching the wildlife in and around the lake. The owners were ultra-communicative -- very responsive but not intrusive - before, during, and after our stay. The home is gorgeous; the photos of it and the surrounding property do not do it adequate justice. If you're a home cook, you can make just about anything if you are resourceful. We made lasagna, breakfast casseroles, and even beef Wellington! Wi-fi signal was good and strong, as some of us had to handle some work emergencies and did so with no issues. Indoor heat was not an issue at all, but you have to follow the excellent directions given by the owners. We were very cozy during our stay when nights could be very cold but days could be anything from sunny and warm to rainy, chilly and damp. Plenty of clean and cozy throw blankets to drape on your lap while watching TV or reading a book. We were accompanied by our clean, well-behaved large-breed dogs, and they loved the property as well. These owners are kind, good, and generous folks. It was a privilege to spend our family holiday at their home. The memories will last a lifetime.
