Sarah is very responsive and accommodating all the way around. The deck is wonderful and very enjoyable. The lake was beautiful, and the sunsets were everything we hoped for them to be.

Bring Your Boat: Lakefront Retreat in Watertown

LauraRating, 5 stars2 weeks ago

Exceptionally clean little place in a beautiful location! This house is not large by any means but what it may lack in size, it makes up for in location and an incredible view. It is right on the water! Literally like 25-30 feet to the water. The hosts have a wonderful start with the interior renovation beautifully done. There is no TV but you really don't need one with the view! The wi-fi works perfectly. I really want to go back after they get the outside done by the water but I wouldn't hesitate to go back now! The hosts were incredible with communication. I highly recommend this cute little house!
