Great location
House is right off a very busy road. Just across the road you can walk to the beach. Private yard, and fire pit. The mattresses were on the very firm side. The water is hot. We enjoyed our stay and would recommend.

Location was the biggest factor for us, and the location was perfect, centrally located in the midst of all the area has to offer! The place offered several rooms to hang-out in and every living/bedroom had televisions with cable! We would definitely stay again.

Cute little cabin, dog friendly
Definitely lived up to its name "Grandma cabin". Dated decor, but clean. Bedrooms were well done with comfortable beds (there were 2 queen beds and a bunk bed set). The yard is not fenced, so dogs must be leashed. The only complaint was the kitchen was not well stocked with even basic supplies. My advice is if you think you'll need it (like a bottle opener or wine glasses or even a frying pan) better bring it from home.

Good location
This home is close to the lake, restaurants, state parks, e.t.c. it is an older out dated home So there are things that come with it being older. Smells trapped in carpet and furniture. You get alot of house for the price. The deck is a beautiful place to enjoy coffee in the morning and the cool breeze in the evening. We enjoyed our stay.

Cozy place
We liked staying at this location. The house was as described. Nothing fancy but everything available and location was great. We stayed Monday through Friday. The weather was terrible, it rained 2 out of 5 days. Despite being a spring break week all activities for teens were closed. No ziplining, no boat riding, no ski resort. The only fun zone was also closed from Mon through Thursday. We ended up riding horses, mud riding, hiking, bowling, and movies. The house is cozy but needs some updates. The sofa and chairs in the living room need to be seriously vacuumed and cleaned. I sat on the sofa the first day and was covered with white pet fur, probably a cat. If you are a gamer, bring your own games as the house has PS only. Plenty of TV, we had no issues with hot or cold water, no issues with heating system. Pots and pans, kitchen utensils - everything was available for cooking. We couldn’t figure out how to use the outside grill. Overall our stay was fine. I bet it’s great during summer, as it was a walking distance from the lake.

Nice Getaway
This place was very nice. Only thing I wish was better listed was the air conditioning. There are two window units in the two of the three bedrooms and fans. Luckily we were there during a cool week or it would have been very hot in the house. I would suggest putting an AC unit in the living room too. The house was perfect size for my family and my sons loved the little game room downstairs.

Clean and spacious
This place was a great space for us, 3 adults and 1 kid. It was SO clean and the location was great. Had lots of TVs and spaces for every one to do their own thing. Close to everything but on a quiet street. We loved the grill, picnic table and outdoor fireplace. The pictures didn't do the outdoor space justice. Only downside was we thought it had AC but it doesn't. Cell service around the lake isn't good, but wifi was great.

Great place
Great cozy place. Good location, close to everything. Our only issue was the water pressure, very low to none. If you turned the water on (like the kitchen sink or in the other bathroom) while someone was in the shower the shower water would completely shut off. We made it work and would stay there again but hope they can figure out the water pressure issue.

Nice cottage for our weekend getaway
The check-in process was a breeze and the property did its job. There is plenty of space and has everything you need. I would recommend getting some longer curtains for the front door and kitchen to increase privacy. We ended up hanging bedsheets up at night to fully cover the windows. We would recommend this property to friends and family.

Nice size house near WISP
House has space to spread out with a full basement. Multiple TVs but we could get only two to work and no information provided. Home was clean but bare bones on house supplies so make sure you bring your own. No communication from Management company that was disappointing - it’s was obvious that communication were automatic Luckily we did not need urgent assistance but not confident that we would have received assistance.

Felt right at home with this property. Right around the corner from the state park. Short drive to Wisp. Located on a quiet street off the main road, so traffic is minimal. This is a great property if you have a few kids and are on a budget. Will be coming back!

Very Nice House with lots of space
I was concerned about the size of this house based on the listed square footage, however the house was very spacious. The upstairs had enough room for multiple adults, but the very large basement several rooms including one very large room that was about 2/3rds of the overall space. The kitchen was a bit small for cooking but worked out well. My dog also enjoyed sitting out front and watching people run and walk their dogs.

Clean stay, lots of room, not directly lakeside
Overall, this is a great house that is not so little. There is a lot of space to spread out with the full basement. There are also lots of tvs and it seems all the furniture is pretty new. If you are looking for lake access, this does not have it (which is clear from the location). It's across the street from one of the resorts and a couple miles from the state park but not directly on the lake (much of the lakefront access is privately owned so this is important to know). Overall, I would easily stay here again. The kitchen and space was great. It was a great price and we didn't need to be on the lake.
