Our family has stayed several times at this location. It is exactly what we are looking for in a vaca. Easy access to the Lake and comfortable accommodations...with wonderful hosts
John was an excellent host. Very friendly to my whole family. Place is right on the water and the kayaks were awesome. He brought out stuff for us to do a fire which was fun.
Our stay at Jon and Mary Ellen's lake house was amazing. The house was super clean and we had all the necessary supplies needed to make our stay comfortable. Jon and Mary Ellen are gracious hosts making us feel right at home. We are looking forward to renting their place again next summer. The Glovins'
I took my kids here for a few days to enjoy the lake. The house had everything we could need. The location was perfect - right on the lake with easy access to kayaks and a swimming dock. Jon and his wife were great hosts and made sure we had everything we needed to enjoy the stay. Would absolutely visit again!
We have stayed here now for several summers. The family loves the lake experience, the accommodations , and the
time together. The hosts could not be more helpful or flexible. Thank you for another great vaca.. Betsy
This was a wonderful place to stay. Mary Ellen and Jon were great hosts. The lake was so nice for everything. The house had anything you needed except a lobster pot so all you had to do is ask. Had lovely fires. Thank you for sharing your home with us.

Absolutely fantastic. Nothing but pure relaxation and happiness. Cant wait until next summer. Mary Ellen & John were the best hosts we have ever had. ❤️
This was our second visit and I wouldn't hesitate to stay again and again. The lake is so beautiful and the owners provide everything you need to enjoy it -- kayaks, life jackets, the floating dock, the small sand beach. They even brought us a firepit and kindling to enjoy smores. The house is comfortable, quaint and clean. The kitchen is well equipped for cooking and they have literally thought of everything. From condiments in the fridge to oil, sugar, flour, coffee. It's a dream for anyone who likes to prepare meals and you cant beat the view! The beds are comfortable and there's tons of family games, puzzles and books. The TV is small but you won't be watching it anyway if you’re like us because the lake draws you outside. It's so nice to have shade on the deck and a table to enjoy meals. The daybed in the room that faces the lake is the best spot for reading or an afternoon nap. Such a lovely view from two directions. The house is a bit quirky, but that just adds to its lake camp charm. We hated to leave and look forward to returning.
Wonderful location on the water which was perfect for a getaway to finish a project proposal and be able to swim and kayak in between. Hosts were next door and very helpful when needed. The house was exactly as pictured and very well equipped. I would highly recommend this property
Another great week staying at the lake house. The kids and family enjoyed the lake, the outdoors, and the accommodations. The host family next door could not be any more helpful in making our stay so memorable..
This was our 2nd year back at this property and we absolutely love it!! The hosts are warm and inviting, the property is clean and comfortable, the water is amazing!!! I can't ask for more! Great place to say!!
Another Great Vacation at Jon and Mary Ellen's Lakehouse
I can't say enough about the owners Jon and Mary Ellen. It is their attentiveness to detail, while recognizing the needs of their renters, that allows for a relaxing vacation. The kitchen is well stocked with eating utensils, dinnerware, serving platters/bowls pots, pans, measuring cups and spoons etc. etc....Too many items to list! The bathroom supplies and linen closet are also well stocked. Upon your arrival you will find all necessary items for an enjoyable stay . I would highly recommend renting from Jon and Mary Ellen. They sure do know how to make you feel welcome and comfortable. Wanda Glovins
The place was so clean. Ample space to accommodate the 6 of us. The kitchen had every pot, pan, utensil, small appliance, etc. that you could think of. Lovely deck right on the water with perfect view of sunrise. Located in the narrow and was very quiet and restful. Perfect place to swim, fish or just relax. Walmart and grocery stores nearby. Great having the owners right next door who respected our privacy but were very accommodating and checked to make sure our needs were met. I would rent again.
Recreation & Relaxation. Beautiful location, quiet spot on the lake. We enjoyed kayaking every day for hours, you can kayak for miles. We saw ducks, geese and a loon. My husband spent hours fishing for bass & caught 2 our last day right from the deck! Great hosts!
The house is set up well for a relaxing weekend with a good kitchen for cooking and dining area facing the lake, as well as an outdoor deck with a table for outdoor dining. The beds are comfortable and the house is very clean. Unfortunately both times we have stayed the weather has been cloudy but the lake is lovely and peaceful. We loved our stay, thank you so much!
I can't say enough about this rental property and the owners. Jon and Mary Ellen have made this rental property a home away from home. The beds were very comfy. The kitchen is stocked very well for cooking and baking with many serving dishes and utensils. No need to bring your own bathroom towels or beach towels. A great barbeque grill is on the spacious deck, with a patio table and plenty of chairs. The sand beach comes with sand toys for your children or adults who are children at heart. 4 kayaks and a paddle boat also are available for your use. Jon and Mary Ellen are friendly, wonderful hosts making sure we knew they were there in case we needed anything.
This is our fourth stay with Jon and Mary Ellen. We absolutely love it there. Sandy beach and great swimming. Perfect for all ages. We brought our power boat. Space for docking. Kayaks and paddle boat provided. Lovely deck. House is spotless with every amenity.
Jan T and kids and grandkids.
My family really enjoyed staying lakeside in a clean, well stocked, comfortable home with a super welcoming vibe. We had fun using the kayaks , paddle boat , beach frontage, docks . Plenty of room inside for the rainy day games and crafts... Wonderful helpful hosts live next door.... Thank you!!
