Summary: The house was beautiful. Great location! The beds not so comfortable especially in 1st floor bedroom. It sunk in middle: 2 people could not sleep on it. The grass was very high when we got there and the step out back off porch is very dangerous when stepping off porch, almost had a few people falling. The alarm system went off at midnight every night also, lasting a few minutes then stopped.

Summary: This is a beautiful property. Unbelievably serene, gorgeous lake view from the house. We were here in the winter; getting in and out of the place was a little scary in precipitation. The road from the ridge down to the lake is quite steep. The house itself is beautifully kept, a perfect layout, and we enjoyed cooking in the beautiful kitchen and fires in the fireplace. Highly recommended!

Summary: What a beautiful home! Perfect location to enjoy the lake views, go wine tasting, and just relax. I was so happy that it was still decorated for Christmas as we were looking for a place to spend a few days after the holidays decompressing but still enjoying the break. Be sure to bring ANYthing you'll want to cook with though that's considered a food item. No oil, spices, salt and pepper or saran wrap/foil at all. Probably the most disappointing thing was not realizing that the fireplace was a woodburning one and having no wood there to enjoy it. One of the top reasons I picked this place was to have a fire so to get there and realize that was going to take some effort to achieve was definitely disappointing. I admit that I just assumed since it was a vacation rental it would be a gas fireplace, but nowhere in the listing or things to bring did it say that this property had a wood fireplace and to definitely bring wood. I think we spent well over 100 to go buy wood for our stay so that was frustrating. Also note, that the TVs are not smart TVs so you are limited to watching whatever is on, and you can not choose what to watch from your apps. There was no guide to the remote so figuring that out was challenging for a bit. Our very last day (New Year's Day) there were at least 4-5 duck hunters shooting ducks from the dock beside the house so that was also less than relaxing hearing guns going off all morning, but overall...I'd still come again. With lots of firewood. :)

Summary: Overall, a lovely home with very comfortable space for our immediate family to gather and relax before the arrival of our 2nd grandchild. Easy access to water for fishing. Equipped with both fire pit and fireplace to enjoy year round. Plenty of space with well appointed kitchen, games, and DVDs. Only regret was that we wished we could have stayed longer or during the warmer weather when we could enjoyed more of what this beautiful home had to offer. It was a wonderful weekend of making memories and we would love to return in the future.

Summary: The cabin and location is awesome. Things pertaining to the property was as indicated; but the amenities were not. The email we received just prior to arrival stated Premier Property would supply a "starter kit" so we would not be burden with collecting provisions from a grocery store that first night. That was not true. There were no provisions, no leftover anything even condiments, boxed goods, cereal (the usual items left behind) - nothing in the home. Like it was cleared out. Typically, previous renter leave odd stuff. There wasn't even plastic wrap, foil, or baggies. ODD - that there were no kitchen amenties. Fire ring and fireplace - no firewood. (Back yard quest accommdation locked without access key code.) Not disappointed with the location or the structure - but disappointed with the usual and stated expectations.

Summary: I can't imagine staying anywhere else. We loved everything about this cabin. Plenty of room for six people. Walk out your door to a private dock, fire pit and stunning views. Very clean, sanitized thick towels, great shower pressure, comfortable inside and out. Ideal location near wineries and restaurants.Modern, spacious and tons of books, games and movies to enjoy. No water toys but rentals not far. We can't wait to come back!!

Summary: The home is beautiful and comfortably furnished. Beautiful view of the lake, nice yard for playing games. We were there early in the season and there was a misunderstanding about whether or not the bunk house was being used that was quickly rectified by the property management company. They were in communication and easy to reach until it was handled. Great place to stay.
