Great location

This was in a perfect location, great view from the deck, very close to paved cycling/walking trails and a very nice park with a beach and boat launch. Great deck. Larry was a good host, quick to respond when we needed something, good to deal with, and let us fish off of his dock. Also had great ribs at Forkless, which is nearby. Would stay again.

Larry was an excellent host. He greeted us upon arrival and departure. And he offered great recommendations for dining in the area. And we really enjoyed the great view from the large deck.

Cozy MIL Quarters at the Lake

Larry was extremely accommodating. There were a couple of items that needed to be fixed throughout my 2 week stay, and Larry had them fixed immediately. It is a quiet, serene location with direct access to the lake. Highly recommend!

Pillow Kerfunkle

My Brother and I had a lovely time. Larry indicated that a pillow was missing from the day bed. Neither my Brother or myself removed any pillows from the property. Unfortunately, we did not count the pillows when we arrived.

Exactly What We Were Looking For

Great communication with owner. He made sure we had everything we needed. Location was wonderful. Beautiful view of the lake. Pleasantly surprised by the roominess. Target was just a few minute drive for groceries/snacks. I was worried that my kids were too noisy during their nightly Monopoly games but owner said we did not disturb him at all. If you are looking for a "rustic" hotel alternative, this is your place.

We celebrated my husband's 50th birthday by being someplace close to home; but not too close. My husband enjoyed fishing off the dock and relaxing on the deck with a beautiful view of the lake.

Spectacular view and space

Lovely spacious lake view apt, overlooking lake, attached to the house, but sufficiently private with access to the deck and close to great hiking area, Baker Reserve, restaurants and short easy drive from city. The kitchen was well stocked with ample kitchen table and dining table on deck as well. The one improvement would be a new mattress in the bedroom. However the mattress on the trundle bed was very comfortable.

Great break at the lake!

We thoroughly enjoyed our time at Lake Independence. Larry had a beautiful bouquet of flowers on the kitchen table upon our arrival. The apartment had everything we needed. We spent a lot of time down by the lake watching the boats and had an Eagle fly over several times. We would recommend the property for anyone that wants time away from the cities.
