Nice getaway for a couple of days

We were greeted on arrival by the host, who was very accommodating throughout our stay. The house was inviting, comfortable and equipped with anything we needed. We tried several of the recommended eateries, and enjoyed each of them! Great place to stay if you’re looking for a house by the lake!

Amazing location, extremely regret not having more time at this property! Bobby and Karen were the sweetest people ever, gave such good recommendations and was super attentive to us, answering any questions that we had.

Great vacation spot on Lewis Lake

Everything about our trip was wonderful. The hosts, Robert and Karen are delightful and had provided lots of excellent info about the area prior to our arrival. The home itself was clean and provided great access to Lewis Lake. It was also close to many attractions and dining options, with a great place within walking distance. We look forward to returning here in the future.

Perfect family stay

Our boys fished the entire day and night away catching and releasing! There was plenty of outddoor space for a family get together. We had great host that answered any question we had. The house is exactlly as shown in pictures. The "cozy sleeping area" is just as much a bedroom as the others. We visit p.a often as i have family there! We have found our new everytime stay!

Great getaway for Elk Mountain

The property was nicely set up and ready for us upon arrival. The check-in process went very smoothly and Robert was very easy to communicate with. The property was clean, homey and only a short 10 minute drive to Elk mountain. There is a nice restaurant nearby as well for post ski drinks and food. It was a great stay to get out and ski for the weekend at Elk.

excellent weekend stay!

We came out for our annual trip to Elk Mountain and Bob was a fantastic host. Very responsive and helpful. The house was perfect and exactly as listed — excellent kitchen, wonderfully spacious living room, perfectly fine bedrooms, and plenty of towels/sheets/blankets. Happy to have found Bob and the lake house, we'll definitely be booking here again next year for the same trip!

We couldn't be happier with our stay, the property, or the host. The place was perfect and the host extraordinarily responsive and accommodating. The only complaint we have is that our stay was too short :). We'll rectify that next time!

Short Ski Getaway

My family and I stayed at Bob's place on the lake for a quick two day ski getaway at Elk Mountain where the home is about 7 minutes from the slopes. Bob was super helpful answering a few questions we had. The house is older but very clean and tidy and perfect for our family of five.
