"The home looks just as it does in the photos. It’s very cute in an eclectic ski cabin-type of way. We arrived at night so we didn’t see the peek-a-boo view of the lake until morning. It made me wish we had an extra day to explore more of our surroundings. My pre-teen daughter and her friend enjoyed the loft area and had it to themselves. There was plenty of space, and the fact that each room had its own temperature controls allowed everyone to sleep at a temperature that suited them."

"The owner was extremely accommodating at check in. There of us pulled up under the awning soaked and cold because of unexpected rain. He brewed a pot of coffee for us and checked is in. Then he proceeded to move us to different rooms so that we could park our bikes under cover. Everything was great more than expected for the price and ratings. It is not the Ritz but great place to stay. Thanks for the hospitality!"

The heaters on the patio enabled for coffee in the morning and the hill across the fairway brought fun challenges for competitive members of our group. Even enjoyed Saturday night live music from the winery without having to leave the patio."

"We stayed here with 4 adults and 6 children and the house was very large and accommodating. We enjoyed the large fire pit in the evenings. Overall property was clean and well equipped, the only thing noted was some damaged outdoor chairs (fabric was ripped which made it non usable), a stained mattress cover that was found when removing the sheets, and lots of spider webs in the garage/play area. We also had to deal with a dying battery in the smoke detector at 10 pm. We found an extra battery which held until about 5 am the day of checkout. All in all, we would stay here again."
