We enjoyed our time on the back porch overlooking the lake in the evenings. We watched the beavers swimming around the dock as well as the herring and rabbits. Very relaxing after a busy day at the Ark.

Clean, peaceful, great fishing .

Lake house was clean and cozy. Supplied with things that you didn't realize that you forgot. Very peaceful and quiet. Right on the lake, which had great fishing. While fishing one night, three beavers swam right past me. Saw otters playing twice. Just a quiet, peaceful, great fishing place.

Quiet Hideaway

We were pleased with the privacy, how you provided map of the lake and easy access to kayaks. The huge yard with lots of seating was a plus, I was able to watch grandson roam and explore. Chris had good communication and available by phone. The Bonus was the early check-in, this is a selling point. No waiting around when your family is ready to rest. Thank you Chris and we'll see you again.EARLY check-in was the BONUS

Ok.

The stay was ok for our family. Outside needs TLC. Example porch had chipped paint everywhere and stringed lanterns had lights burned out. Equipment was very used and weathered. Needed replacing. Road to property needed maintenance and properties around cabin were run down. Also turned on ancient heater in living room and bugs kept flying out. My fussy 65 year old mother was not comfortable. The rest of us thought it was OK.

We enjoyed our stay in the lake house. It was clean and the perfect amount of space for us and our two children. The lake was beautiful and we enjoyed fishing and kayaking. Host's were very responsive.

Needs a little TLC

Really cute place but could use a little TLC. There's a little book for visitors to write in, their experience about their stay, and going back as far as 2022 the SAME complaints are still being written. Mainly the master bedroom mattress, and the TV in the living room needs to be replaced. Could just put bedroom TV In living room... easy fix. I mean, you're probably not visiting to watch TV, but we stayed a week and so enjoy movies at night. Also, the dogs barking... all around you! Pretty much every morning. NOT the owners fault, but really sucks trying to enjoy the peace and quiet that they are shooting for here. For the amount we paid for the week, these things corrected would have made our review a five star!I could go on with more trivial changes but I won't. Overall, we enjoyed our stay and the visits from one of the resident dogs named Roxy was a bit annoying at first, but we quickly realized she was very sweet and just wanted to chill with us!Kayaking was fun and we did a little fishing but didn't catch anything. Porch was nice to sit on and just take in the beauty of it all, until the barking starts lolOh and the dead tree kind of blocks an open view of the water... cut it down!Over all, really nice experience and Chris was BEYOND gracious and kind.

Beautiful location,

Pros: -The lake house was in a very scenic spot right on the lake, with use of kayaks included. My kids had a wonderful time kayaking and fishing. -The beds were comfortable.-The owner was nice and communicated well.-The shower had a nice shower head and plenty of hot water. Cons:-The house desperately needs some updating.-The carpet was dirty and felt clammy to the touch. Bring house slippers if staying here.-The sheets on the larger bed were dirty and had very clearly not been changed from the previous guests, which unfortunately we didn’t discover until the next morning. Thankfully, the owner was very apologetic and changed the sheets while we were out for the afternoon.-Only one of the cooking pans was in good of shape enough to use. The place could use a couple more new ones. -When my kids were kayaking near the side of the lake, some people began target practice (with guns) very close to where they were. We wouldn’t stay here again due to the issues we encountered, but the place was in a truly beautiful little setting and the owner seemed nice.

Landers Lakehouse

We had a great time!! Listing is 100% accurate! Clean and cozy! Beautiful location! Plenty of dock space for fishing and we loved that the cabin came with kayaks! My daughter fell in love with the chess set, now I have to find one just like it to purchase 😆 We would definitely book this cabin again in the future.

No itinerary relaxation

Comfy cottage. Secluded setting with very little activity on the lake. Close enough to towns if you want to go out for a meal or pickup a few things. Only left the cottage 3 times in a week long stay as kayaking, fishing, campfires, and porch-sitting were exactly what we all needed.

This was one of my favorite stays away from home. The place was full of rustic charm and hospitality while providing a beautiful scenery, a relaxing atmosphere, and fun and adventure right in your own front yard. A great little getaway, and yet close to many day trip adventures. This questionnaire may have only received 4/5 stars due to the questions asked, but my actual stay receives 5/5 stars… it was just what we needed!
