Jarrett’s home is beautiful! Loving the lake views from every room and the layout and design is classy ,welcoming and comfortable. Perfect for my family, 6 adults and 3 children under the age of 3. Very kid friendly from the crib to the high chair, hooded soft towels, so many extra towels and life jackets for swimming. No need to bring any pool toys Jarrett has everything. Once you get into the house, it’s all one level. So many comfortable places to enjoy the lake views. Next time I go I will pay extra to heat the pool so we can swim even if the sun isn’t shining. Jarrett answered all my questions in a timely fashion and he helped make our stay very special. I can’t wait to rent his home again with my family. Thanks so much, we truly enjoyed our stay! Wendy

the home is beautiful with a lake across the street and pool in the backyard. the view of the lake is beautiful from most rooms and front porch. the home is equipped with many amenities and stocked well. Jarrett thought of damn near everything for all including the dog to ensure a great stay. He also responded so quickly to any concerns or questions. we really enjoyed our time and plan to book with Jarrett again next summer.

I had such a fantastic experience staying at this Airbnb! The home was exactly as described—clean, cozy, and beautifully decorated. The location was perfect—close to everything I needed, but still quiet and peaceful for a relaxing getaway. Waking up and drinking coffee with the beautiful view of Candlewood lake was breathtaking. The host was incredibly welcoming and responsive. I would definitely stay here again and would recommend anyone to stay here. I would also recommend you to take your boat or even rent one near by,absolutely incredible!!!

Amazing time at this place, was easy to check in with code, host was extremely friendly and responsive, the place was very clean and was as shown in the pictures. Check out procedures were also very simple. Pet friendly which was a bonus! House was very big and had great views of the lake. Pool wasn’t open yet, but definitely interested in returning to try out the pool when it is!
