New years stay
I stayed here with my family of 4 and another family of 4. Our group included a toddler and three 8 year olds. It was the perfect place for our stay. The house is on a quiet street looking over a pond. It was comfy and clean and cozy. The beds were comfortable. The kitchen was well stocked for cooking. And whenever I had a question, Kevin was highly responsive and helpful. Checking in and out was easy, and we would easily come back during any season.

Always a Merry Christmas
Another fantastic stay at this fine lakehome. I stayed here with my family for the holidays. There's plenty of amenities in the kitchen, lots of space in the home and it has a wonderful & peaceful atmosphere. We've stayed at this home multiple times over the last 5 years and look forward to it every year for Christmas. Kevin is a tremendously gracious host, responsive, and offered us flexibility for our stay. We continue to look forward to making his home a part of our holiday tradition each year. Thank you Kevin!

Northeast Adventure
On a 25 day driving trip from Missouri. This was a great location for a visit to Bethel and Woodstock. The home and amenities were great. Kevin was quick to respond to any questions. Our last night we were able to enjoy a great fire by the fire pit and enjoy our wine and some music. Highly recommend this getaway!
