Our week was pleasant even though 2 days before we arrived the area had flooding. Bob was great about letting us know and moving docks so we could enjoy. Thoroughly enjoyed sitting on the deck, watching the lake and sunsets. After the first day we were able to swim and kayak every day. As it was late August it was hot and late in the day house got pretty warm but there were fans in most rooms. AC in bedrooms would be a nice addition. Teens had great time in the water!

Robin and family were fabulous guests. It was a rough week after a massive flood with the lake level rising two feet in 24 hours on Thursday before arrival! Being local I asked Robin to stop down to make sure they wanted to come and they thought about it and did. I am really glad because it was super getting to know all of you and as the lake level came down the waterfront was a lot more enjoyable. Everyone seemed to have a good time.
Air conditioning is often requested by guests. But is difficult to install window units in casement windows which we have throughout the house and there is no ducting in the house for air conditioning as we have a boiler and wall radiators for heat. It was a VERY warm and humid week and I am sorry if you were not comfortable.
We enjoyed your stay very much and look forward to seeing you throughout the school year!

This is a beautiful piece of property with an awesome beachfront and beautiful sunsets. The property's location is convenient to historic Auburn and local wineries, but you won't want to leave the lake. Bob, the host, was very accommodating, friendly and helpful. The house itself has a very well equipped kitchen and a grill on the porch, but it IS a cottage. While it is quite functional and comfortable, it shows signs of wear and tear. My family enjoyed our stay immensely and highly recommend it.

We had six adults and two small children. Linens left a little to be desired. No towels provided, which included paper towels and toilet paper. Plumbing backed up on the 4th of July. Owner living in the other half of this duplex did respond quickly and after a few hours we were able to use the one bathroom in the house. This house does not have air conditioning, so most rooms have upright fans in them. If you are there to relax this place is great, parking is very limited, were shuffling cars several times over the week. Thanks Joe,

After this review I did purchase new queen and twin linens. Thank you for the comment. I have tried to make it extremely clear to all guests that I do not provide towels on the property. I used to and this proved to be a huge challenge so I discontinued this practice and no longer provide any towels at the property.
Plumbing backed up in the rental unit because the guest flushed a paper towel. There is a sign posted in the bathroom that we have a sensitive waste system that will not handle anything but toilet paper. I did respond on Sunday, July 4th, personally to unclog the waste line under the house. Which was not how I wanted to spend my July 4th. And I know there was a paper towel in the system because I personally pulled it out to free the waste line. This was a horrible experience for everyone. I have also tried to make it very clear in my posting that the house does not have air conditioning and as the guest indicated I do provide fans. There is adequate parking here at the house for at least 10 vehicles, of which I typically occupy 2-3 spots. I suggest guests limit the number of cars they bring to the house to 2-3 cars, which is the norm for most parties of 8 guests.
I am disappointed by the poor review. These guests were a pleasure to have here at the lake with us. Bob
Last minute vacation plan and the owner Bob was very accommodating!
Right from the beginning the owner was very helpful and provided information to rent a pontoon boat. We were able to launch and dock the jet ski and boat with our own dock and the owner even took us across the lake to pick up our pontoon rental! The property is beautiful! We enjoyed a wonderful week with 5 teenagers who were able to fish and play football and throw the baseball around and enjoy bon fires at night.It was so quiet and I enjoyed watching the kids have fun without their phones/TV/ electronics!! Great place to unplug and unwind

Bob was a great host and the property was exactly what we were looking for as a lake escape. It is attached to the owners house so not completely private but enough space.
The internet/service was a little bit of an issue for us when a few of us were trying to work during the day but we made it through.
I would definitely recommend the house/Bob if you are looking for a lot of time outdoors and some great advice for the area.

It was a pleasure to have Erin and her group here with us at the lake. Love it when guests make the most of their time here at the property and have such a great time interacting. Perfect weather this summer!
Working on high-speed internet and hope to have that available by 2021 or sooner if possible!!
Substantial amount of lake front, beautiful view of sunsets, knowledgeable and helpful host, spacious deck, great master bedroom with large bay window giving one view of the lake looking west and a perpendicular window giving a southern view of the lake, bald eagle, osprey, kingfishers, blue heron, etc. Great place to sample nature and base for exploring the lake as well as peaceful place to gather our family (wife, two sons and their partners.) Great time.
