This is a lovely spot with expansive views of a gorgeous lake location. We enjoyed the house, the grounds, the upper and lower decks, the kayaks and SUPs provided, and dock with access to the lake. Everything was spotless and highly functional with thoughtful host details like coffee and soaps provided. A great place for family. We’d love to return.

Property was even better than the pictures. Very well appointed, clean, comfortable and plenty of room for a group of four to stretch out. The real star are the hosts who provided a great warm welcome and absolute first class with communication before, during and after. Highly recommende!

This lake house is a true gem! The views alone are worth every penny, but the house itself is beyond impressive. It’s incredibly clean, with thoughtful amenities and little touches that made our stay so comfortable. Sunset boat rides, paddle boarding, kayaking, roasting marshmallows around the fire pit or with a flip of a switch, enjoy the stunning, electric outdoor stove! The dock & swimming area was beautiful… I could go on & on! Feras, the host, was wonderfully attentive, checking in to make sure we had everything we needed but giving us all the privacy we could want. Being dog-friendly was a huge plus for us—our furry friends had a blast! We’re rebooking for next year… but honestly, we were almost reluctant to share how amazing this place is—too good to keep a secret!” Feras~thank you from the bottom of our hearts for opening your beautiful home to our family, we can’t wait for the next adventure! ♥️Lacey, Tay, Leo & fur babies!

I spent one night at Red Cedar Haven with my daughter on our way to camp. The house was even better than we expected, very clean, comfortable, the hosts thought of everything. We particularly loved the lake and the availability of kayaks and paddle boards right at the house. Our hosts were very communicative and organized and the check-in process was seamless. I highly recommend this special spot.

Our family stayed on the lake over the Fourth of July. Property is everything and more as seen on the listing. Beds were comfortable, host was extremely responsive and helpful. The only downside is the top loft bedroom (with excellent views) was warm to sleep in at night. A fan would be a helpful addition. We were sad to leave and would come back again!! Beautiful spot.
