Classic Lake House_Fireplace_WiFi__Family & Friends Gather_ 4 Steps to Lake

This location can not be beat! Quiet lake front home, beautifully decorated and immaculate inside and out. Plenty to do on the lake with various watercraft provided. Generous shaded porch allows for hours of nature watching whether it is the great blue heron that nests on the island across from the house, fish jumping just beyond a cast off the dock or the cormorants drying out on the rocks next to the island. In the small yard you can follow the flights of the numerous monarch butterflies and watch chipmunks as they roam to and fro. Sunsets can be unspeakably beautiful. Stargazing not to be underestimated for those of us city folk. The new fire pit this year provides one more special place to gather together and enjoy gentle lake breezes, cicadas and the call of an owl between special conversations -you know the ones that only happen around a campfire. The home is so well-stocked with everything needed to cook home meals or grill to one's heart's content. Bedrooms are spacious and comfortable, especially for those loving soft, sink in mattresses. Everything about the home is so welcoming and so well thought out. From the basket of lake towels to the umbrellas to shampoos in the bathroom. You can just come and relax! Inside fireplace and outside hammock just add more places to rest and rejuvenate. How could I forget about the tray of s'more makings in the kitchen?

Marian is very responsive and kind. When I couldn't find the brush for the grill all I did was text her and she texted right back then called to make sure I had found what I needed.

This is our second time staying at this location, a few years apart It is a very special home that just radiates loving care. We've come off season in the spring and now end-of-season early fall and both experiences have been terrific. Do come and see for yourself!

This owner has thought of everything to make your stay enjoyable. Well stocked kitchen, comfy beds, toiletries, games, spices, unexpected goodies. Attention to detail. Gorgeous lake view! Highly recommend.

I expected a fantastic experience based on the other reviews and we got it. Great house with large BRs and plenty of space. But what really sets it apart is the owners anticipating your every need and providing everything you could want with high-quality accessories. She recently added a firepit area with the most amazing high-tech Solo stainless steel firepit I have ever seen. Newer Weber grills with covers, an available smores kit for the firepit with incredible different marshmallows and candies.

If you want to use the firepit a few logs are provided but you may want more - I brought some from home.

We did have some last-minute communication difficulties trying to work out an arrival time so I suggest you get that figured out ahead of time.

My family and I just returned from our second stay at Lakeside Fern and like last year the home was in impeccable condition. Everything you could possibly need is there and if you need something or have a question Marion is very quick in responding. The only thing that was different this time was the blue green algae that developed on the lake before we arrived. Therefore we could not go in the water but could still use the kayak and paddle boat which we did. Marion , as usual, was so gracious in providing tickets for my daughter. son in law and grandson to an area museum and provided information and passes to pools and alternative places they could swim. A new fire pit was put in this year which we enjoyed and Marion provided the firewood and fixing for Smores. We had a wonderful two weeks and look forward to enjoying Lakeside Fern again. Thank you Marion we enjoyed meeting you this year.

This was our 4th summer in Marian's home. Every year gets better and better! The house has had everything we've needed for adults, kids and a baby. We look forward to Lakeside Ferns every year and it never disappoints. Thanks Marian for another wonderful family trip at the lake!
