Summary: Stephanie doesn't miss a beat! The house, the amenities, the details, the VIEW are all simply amazing. Fresh muffins upon arrival, extremely clean and well organized house. Some staples (butter, eggs, drinks, SUCH good coffee!) are there ready for you, as well as everything you need for cooking and grilling, and not a detail is missed. You want to fish with the kids? Here's poles! Don't have bait? Here's a compost with worms! Forgot the s'more fixings? Right here in the cabinet! Kid wet at the door yelling for a towel? Towel basket right by the door! Kayaks, little beach, board games, even LEGOs for the kids. Truly an amazing time! We will be back!

Summary: This was a wonderful place to stay for the weekend. The lake views with the moss-draped trees are pretty amazing. The cottage is very comfortable and has everything needed. The host is awesome—she was very responsive and attentive to details (even providing little unasked for “extras”).

Summary: The Lake Cottage was perfect for my latest trip to Lake Santa Fe! The house is adorable, super clean and outfitted with anything you might need. Stephanie was a great host - she spent a lot of time welcoming me and showing me all aspects of the house and dock. It was a 10/10 experience for me, and I would highly recommend her home to anyone looking for a fabulous lake getaway!

Summary: We have stayed in several VRBO and Stephanie’s was the nicest yet. She had all the little things that makes the stay easy and upscale with coffee bar, bath amenities, chargers and mosquito spray just to name a few. If you are an outdoorsy person there are kayaks, life vests, fishing poles and even worms to fish with. The house was in impeccable shape. Everything was clean and in great shape. The lake is spring fed and crystal clear with beautiful sunsets off the pier. She was quick to answer any questions we had. It was awesome!!

Summary: we had an amazing time. The men got to fish, the kids got to go tubing & jetskiing. the young adults went kayaking. it was a great time. The house & grounds are immaculate. we had few hiccups, but they were handled very quickly & with such pleasure. Stephanie is definitely a plus 10 host. Mitch was accommodating with everything that we asked for him to do. He is a plus 10 as well. We will return.
