Overall we loved this place. There were a few things to note before booking. The house is near the Lake and you have to walk through a yard to get to it. It was fine for us but some people may not like that. There is no blow dryer, so make sure you bring one. The second floor gives the “tiny home” experience for sure. You have to walk on your knees or stay crouched over to get to the bedroom. Room darkening blinds were great except one window did not have them which lets light in very early! The hot tub and sauna are perfect. It’s very peaceful outside where they are. We enjoyed our stay.
A beautiful location and a memorable place to stay, so tiny and well thought out. We loved our stay!
Terrific for short stay, novel experience in a tiny home that is very new and clean. However, be aware of below ceilings in the loft bedroom. Lake is a few hundred feet away amongst 4-5 other homes.
Beautiful and cozy stay on the lake. House is well designed and equipped for compact living yet light and airy from the material finishes and daylight through expansive window units. Clearly well thought out with attention to detail. Loft area low ceilings were doable for overnight rest even for this taller guest!
We went here for my 40th birthday, it's great that the property is dog-friendly, as we like to travel as much as we can with our dog. I've always wondered what it's like to stay in a tiny house, and now I can say I have! The Pros: It was very clean, and the property was located right next to the lake. The hot tub and sauna were fantastic and clean! I didn't know the property had a bidet, and boy, was that a game changer. I immediately went out and bought the same one. The AC/Electric fireplace both worked great. The Cons: There weren't really any to be honest. The code to get in the property was long (which is not bad), and to enter the door required a little getting used to. That's more on me than the property though. I couldn't find the volume on the TV remote, because it was just one of those Roku or firestick ones, and to turn the volume up I had to speak into the microphone, and it would raise/lower the tv in increments of 10. Overall: I would 100% rent at this property again. I used to be a manager at a hotel, and this place was great. It was a little off the beaten path, outside of Burlington, which is great, as I didn't want to stay downtown. It was situated right next to the lake, which was awesome. The hot tub and sauna were a great thing to have. The hammock was great too. 9/10.
Loved the cleanliness and location of this house.
