Peaceful cabin sitting right on Locke Lake. Home was just as described, clean and comfortable and beautiful view. The host, Darryl, was very responsive, friendly and very easy to work with. Summer or winter this is a real nice place to stay.

I enjoyed a quiet fall getaway in a very peaceful location! Great neighborhood to walk my dog. From the time of booking all the way to the end of my visit, Darryl was a great communicator and was so helpful. I had a question about something when I got to the house and he immediately responded with helpful instructions. The house was very clean and was very comfortable. It is a place I would love to come back to in the summer!

Darryl was a Great Host! The location was Awesome with a Great View of the Lake. If you stay here, Go check out the White Buffalo Trading Post for the absolute BEST Pizza-Nate makes an Amazing Pizza. I’m from Philly and they also make a Great Cheesesteak that is comparable to a Philly Cheesesteak. This Home was so Cozy and Relaxing! Thanks for an Awesome Weekend!!!! We would definitely stay here again.
