This was our first time staying in this home and we found it to be everything we were looking for. We rented it for the entire Thanksgiving week and were joined by our grown children for some relaxation and stress-relief. The home is very comfortable and the space is laid out well. It was cold enough for a fire in the fireplace the first night and the owner had plenty of firewood we could use.. We used the gas grill a couple of times and the propane tank seemed full. The beds were quite comfortable and all of the rooms were sparkling clean. We cooked in for all of our meals with the exception of a carry-out lunch from Catherine's Market one day, and the kitchen had plenty of workspace, cabinet and pantry space. I did a full Thanksgiving feast and the double ovens were a wonderful help. Although chilly outside, it was sunny and we did alot of hiking and walking with our dogs. The dogs also enjoyed swimming in the lake, just not the freezing hose down they got afterwards! We particularly liked the large deck and the Adirondack chairs with such a great view of the lake. The only thing that we could have used was a TV downstairs. This wouldn't have even been an issue during warmer months with boating and skiing activities available, but we spent a good bit of time up in the loft watching football games. it is a nice TV spot up there but a little crowded when we were all gathered around watching the Iron Bowl. All in all, we had a wonderful family vacation. The owner was great and easy to contact. She kept in touch by email, text and phone and her instructions were simple to follow. I would recommend this home to anyone and expect that we might be renting it again ourselves.
