We needed privacy and quiet - a retreat away from hectic work schedules and grad school challenges. The house has a nice lengthy driveway away from the road, and there is no traffic on the road. Forest on both sides, no neighbors within visible or listening distance. Nearly wakeless lake, just small fishing boats with respectful locals not blaring bad music. The house is nice, well kept, very comfortable and dreamlike. The water has an unappetizing smell, nothing terrible and definitely safe, but it gave our water bottles a less refreshing pour after a day or two. Totally fine to cook with. The house also has a bit of an aged smell, but we were able to open windows and get a breeze flowing to alleviate that given absolutely perfect late summer weather.
Holly kept in touch regularly but gave us our space - much appreciated! We knew she was available if we needed anything.
We would absolutely book here again. It's within driving distance to several small hikes and rapids or waterfalls, but we mostly wanted to stay in, cook, and sleep and the house was ideal for us.
