Interesting home on the Lake
It is an interesting property with lots of outdoor deck space. Inside there is a comfortable living room. The beds are older and not made to support someone who is 200 lb or more (I purchased a blow up air mattress). The kitchen is well provisioned. I was there for work so did not explore the lake, it looks a bit swampy near the house. You need to bring your own boat to do this.

Such a good choice
We had the most relaxing and comfotable stay here. Everything was very clean and many little touches made it really welcoming and homey. We enjoyed canoe rides, just sitting outside enjoying the scenery and the many birds, fishing, etc. But the inside was just as great. The house is small, but it feels spacious (the living room is enormous!). The master bedroom had a super comfortable bed and the bunk beds were comfortable too. None of us wanted to leave. Our dog loved it too and was right at home. Thank you for sich a lovely place to stay, Mike!

Comfortable cottage on Rice Lake
We had a great time staying at this home on Rice Lake. The host made sure that everything possible was provided. Here’s a list of what I can remember: • Fresh carnation flowers in a vase (how sweet) • Some candy & cookies & restaurant coupons (very thoughtful) • Notepad and pen for making lists • First aid kit (which was appreciated because we needed a band aid) • Extra TP, paper towels, trash bags • All necessary kitchen utensils plus a BBQ grill set. • Coffee & coffee filters • Salt & pepper • Plastic wrap, aluminum foil, sandwich bags • Napkins • Flashlight • Plenty of bathroom towels • Kleenex • Extra pillows • Cleaning supplies • Laundry supplies • Wood for fire pit (we didn’t take advantage of this) • Canoe (we didn’t test it out but it looked large and sturdy) • Even a basket of children’s books! There was a lovely dog park nearby. It is free and was not crowded anytime we went there. There isn’t much shade so I would recommend only going when it is cooler out. We eat most meals at home. The local grocery store had a great butcher which offered a variety of prepared meats for either grilling or baking in the oven. This worked out perfect for me (chief cook & bottlewasher)! Honestly, we couldn’t have asked for more – except maybe having more fishing success! LOL! The host left detailed instructions if you happen to bring home dinner from the lake. Good luck! We hope to return in the near future.

Everything you need
We wanted a quiet getaway with a lake view and that’s exactly what we got. The house is well kept on a small bay on the lake but close to everything in town. They had all the little things you need for a great stay including the things you may have forgotten. Would definitely stay again!

Lovely stay at Rice Lake
The house and property were great! Felt like a home away from home. The house was clean and had anything we needed. My son loved going out on the lake with the canoe and catching minnows off the dock.

Great place to stay for family vacation especially if you want to get some fishing done. Kitchen is well stocked, even a grill to use just bring charcoal. If you are looking for good barbecue...go to Old Southern BBQ!!

Great little place
Check in/out process was easy. Very quiet location, while we were there anyway. Boat landing just to the north to put your boat in and dock at the property for quick access to the lake. Great little place for a getaway, would recommend. Also pet friendly, so that is always appreciated!

Toddler Approved!
We enjoyed our stay! The property was perfect for our 23 month old. There wasn't excessive decor that we had to worry about her breaking. It's a 10 minute walk from Narrows park which is absolutely gorgeous and has a variety of gym/ swing set equipment as well as beautiful lake view along with a pavilion. This was our first VRBO with a comfortable bed so we greatly appreciated that after our 4 1/2 hour drive. This location was wonderful ♥️ and town is just minutes away. For grilling fans and those that appreciate amazing meats Louie's Meat Locker in Cumberland is a MUST.

Great little getaway
My kids and I enjoyed this property so much. Quaint and serene. Property is clean and comfortable. Host was easily accessible via text if necessary. We caught several fish just canoeing in the little bay the property is on. Kept the kids off the cell phones and occupied enjoying the lake which is saying something. Great stay!

The place was great! Smaller than expected but it had everything we needed. Everything was clean. Beds were comfortable. Owner was very responsive and super helpful. Internet worked really well for a virtual new years with friends. I would recommend the place. We didn't catch any fish but we enjoyed getting out and spending time together.

Perfect for our small gathering!
This little place was perfect for our small family group to gather together for the holidays! The house was very tidy and well-maintained. The bunkbed room was spacious enough to accommodate two older teen girls and the master served as a calming retreat for mom when things got chaotic. The memory foam mattress on the queen bed was extremely comfortable, and mom slept well all week. The kitchen was adequately stocked in regards to dishes, pots and pans, baking utensils and the like. The biggest draw for us was the great room with the comfy couch and the two recliners. There was plenty of space for the five of us (the girls and me with local grandma and grandpa visiting daily) to relax together. Also, the internet had enough bandwidth to support everyone's devices, which is significant because...two teenage girls. It was zero F during our visit so we did not make use of the amenities out back, but we intend to return for a longer visit this summer and look forward to the firepit, boat dock, and supplied canoe. If you are looking for a clean, comfortable space to get away to that happens to have access to a lake out back, this is the place for you!

Great place to stay, unless the temperature outside is over 70 degrees.
Wonderful place, has everything you need so you can pack light. We will stay here again, but only if it is not over 70 degrees outside. The one room AC, in the living room, didn’t make a dent in the summer heat. Sadly, the house was so hot that we got very little sleep. If they put a window AC in the bedrooms, it would be bearable for summer.

Response from VrboOwner on 19 Aug 2020
Hi Julia, we want all of our guests to rest easy when they stay with us, and we're sorry that you experienced issues with the AC during your trip. After sending your feedback to the homeowner, they’d like to share the following: We've had guests give us good reviews on the air conditioner and its ability to cool the house. We provide operating instructions on the air conditioner which helps guide guests on fan settings and temperature selection, but we're sorry if you missed this. We’d love the opportunity to host you again soon!

Quiet neighborhood near to main access and grocery or restaurants. Beautiful sunrises on the inlet to rice lake out your door. Would definitely stay again. Very pleased with our experience here.

Like going to Grandma’s house for a long weekend!
The stay was great! The house and property were smaller than expected and every door was swollen in place, so it was difficult to open and shut the doors between rooms. However, the stay itself was well worth the money and everything was as promised. Thanks for a great weekend!
