Wonderful, peaceful location. The home is very neat and clean with all of the amenities. This property feels like a home, not a rental. Nautical theme is a delight! Spectacular views of the mountains.
This was our second vacation at this home. I would recommend staying here to all families. It's immaculately kept and supplied with everything/anything you want.
The property is located in a quiet neighborhood, but it's near to beaches, restaurants, and shopping.
The property is lovely, well stocked, and is in a great location.
However be aware that the house does not have air conditioning, and there are a limited number of windows that can be opened. Also, some rooms do not have any windows that can be opened. There are no ceiling fans. There is a small house ventilation fan that did not seem effective in pulling in enough air even though the night temperatures were very reasonable.
Please be aware if you have certain allergies, keeping the windows open to cool the house may not be an option for you.
House was amazing. Right on the water. Lots of wildlife. House fully stocked with everything you need. Our favorite house so far. Owner very nice and welcoming. My family was so happy with our stay
We had a great time, the house was beautiful and plenty big for all of us. The hosts were so kind and checked in on us. It was a great family weekend before we came back to the craziness.

Very large and nice home.Location was excellent given proximity to the lake, hiking trails , restaurants etc. Weather in mid August was fantastic. Very nice stay.
Absolutely the best. The home is attractive, well located, beautifully decorated, and homey in the best sense of the word. There is something for everyone from young to old to do including a paddle boat in the lagoon just outside the back door, a hot tub, and many games. We loved it.
Wow. This house was amazing. First off the lovely owner (Bernice) was kind enough to meet us there at check in and give us a helpful tour. She was also very available on the phone throughout our stay when we had questions or concerns.... and has a wealth of local knowledge for hikes etc.
The house was purpose built for Rentals and so well stocked we could have catered for 20 with no problem. The only thing we couldnât find in our 2 week stay was a garlic crusher!
The location and views to the mountains over the lagoon(Tallac lake) was so calming and peaceful we hardly wanted to leave and explore the area! Watching the Morning mist on a glassy lake surface whilst eating breakfast and enjoying a cold beer in a hot tub in front of the sunset pink hues on the mountain faces beyond wad dream like.
Our 19month old daughter was in heaven with all the space inside and the big lawn the paddle boat tours of the ducks, fish, geese, beaver and bears!!!! Yes we saw two bears swim in the lake..... truly memorable. She get very upset when we had the leave the resident bear(stuffed toy) and go home!
The Neighbourâs were friendly, helpful and quiet. Everything was clean and really well stocked. The layout of the house was great. They had toys and cribs and a high chair, kids books and not too much for us to say no to our little toddler about.
We did suffer a bit with the heat at first as there is no A/C but once the kids got used to the dry air and altitude we got some sleep and loved every minute of our stay. Be sure to close the window blinds in the afternoon to stop the house from getting very hot.
The only noise we heard was the wildlife.....a pack of screeching coyotes at night and mainly the geese in the day. We had a few minor technical issues with the tv(couldnât get Netflix) but werenât that bothered as there was too much to do and see outside and the fridge water spout kept pouring into the floor but we were too relaxed to get upset.
Weâd highly recommend the house and location fo anyone with kids wanting a fun beautiful place to unwind and relax. The keys resort has two pools and a park with swings etc you can buy passes for..... worth it if your kids like swimming and you donât want to drive to the lake beach everyday.
Thanks Again 10/10 (12/10 if you had AC)

The house was great for us and the owner was proactive, kind, flexible, and responsive. We had 6 individual thirty-something men (on a genuinely low-key bachelor weekend) staying there and it was a little tight for beds but we made it work between 3 main beds, a bunk bed, and the couches. Realistically, it would sleep 3 couples and 2 individuals comfortably, with the pull-out couch and normal couches still available in a pinch.
One oddity that was not clear to me (but wasn't a problem for us): the pull-out couch room had a completely open doorway - no door at all. It was also formed by a makeshift wall separating that room from a double bed room. Although the makeshift wall was permanent, there were gaps on either side of the wall, allowing occupants of either "room" to see and and hear each other completely. Even if you don't use the pull-out couch room, keep in mind that this particular double bed room does not have much real privacy due to the makeshift wall gaps combined with the lack of door in the pull out room. This whole section is on the far end of the upper story, though, so it is at least secluded. Like I said, this wasn't a problem for us, but I could imagine it being a surprise/problem for somebody else - my wife would not have been OK sleeping in there, for example.
The location was great and the combined kitchen/living room area was perfect for socializing. The views out of this area were amazing and the house was very close to a lot of different activities - too much for us to get to in a single weekend! All house instructions were simple and easy to follow - there wasn't much to do for cleanup, either.
My only minor personal complaints are very minor indeed: the stove is electric, the BBQ is in a weird place (not to be moved), and the TVs were definitely small and dated. It feels a little petty to comment on those but I'm just trying to be fully transparent. Overall, we were extremely happy with our time there.
