We had a great weekend on Browns Lake celebrating Labor Day weekend and a 50th birthday. We enjoyed the sunrises, canoeing, kayaking and hanging out by the fire-pit. Definitely would consider staying again if we are back in the area!

My kids and I lived in Burlington for 22 years. It was fun to return to the Browns Lake Neighborhood that we use to call home. We saw old friends and the grandkids swam everyday. My 3 yr old granddaughter says she is going to live in Burlington forever

My family and I stayed at Tammy's home on Browns Lake to celebrate my parents' 50th anniversary. Our family had a home on the lake for nearly 100 years before my grandparents had to sell and my parents were married at their home. So, to be back on the lake was a dream come true. And the cherry on top? Staying in Tammy's house.
The home is very well-situated on the lake and offers all that you'd want in a lake home---a well-stocked home, a lovely patio with unimpeded views of the lake, and plenty of seating on the pier to be able to dry off from swimming or enjoy a cup of coffee as the sun rises over the lake. It was such a well-equipped home that we wanted for nothing and it allowed us to be able to spend as much time in the water or behind a boat as possible. We would absolutely stay here again and hope to in the coming years.
Thank you for allowing us to stay in your home so that we could spend time together in one of our favorite places on earth. What a way to celebrate our folks and all of our memories!

Family vacation, my wife, my daughter, son and their families. Bedrooms were nice and comfortable. Kitchen was a bit small but cozy, great view of the lake. The beach and swimming, not possible due to all the weeds, that is kind of a bummer. We would not let the kids jump off the pier because of the weeds. The weeds did make the fishing amazing. We have a 5 year old boy and a 7 year old girl that will never forget fishing on Browns Lake. Even us older guys caught many nice bass off the pier. The extra size of the pier made things really nice, we spent a lot of time on the pier. We were cramped for parking at the premises but the folks at Fisher Park let us keep a boat and a vehicle in their lot, that worked out ok. We may come back for the fishing.

We’re a family of four with a 2.5 YO and a 1 YO. My parents also joined us for this trip and we had a blast. The kitchen was well stocked with spices and condiments. They had a booster seat and a portacrib which were also super helpful with the little ones. We were able to use a trunk as a gate in the living room for my 1 YO which also made things really easy as we kid proofed the upstairs.
Everything worked great, from the grill and sauna, to the fire pit and outdoor furniture.
We loved having access to a canoe. My husband was in his element in the canoe and my 2YO loved it too. We have blowup kayaks as well and bought some cheap tubes for chilling on the water. All around it was a great time and we all enjoyed ourselves.

We loved this cozy lakefront getaway for our group of 6. Charming decor, spacious rooms, comfy beds, plenty of towels, and gorgeous lake views! The owner was pleasant and quick to respond when we needed help locating the WiFi password. Overall an easy-breezy fun stay that is listed among our favorite VRBO properties to return to!

A great spot with view of lake. Very close to family and convenient for us to shop and be near family. Even though the weather was balmy it was nice to have the lake view.
Plenty of room for all of us.
Thanks.

We really enjoyed our stay. We came in for a wedding and had our family and some friends. View is spectacular, perfectly set up kitchen with all the things you need, beds were all comfy and the bedding was very nice. Love the big square table for games! The town was cute and lots of options for eating. lots of parking and easy to find. Thanks for sharing your home!

We were married October 13th - the groom and groomsmen stayed here during the weekend. They were obsessed with how amazing this home is. There is a sauna, an upper deck, a patio, a pool table..so many different areas in the home that can be used. The layout is really neat, it is beautifully furnished/decorated (pictures don’t do it justice!!), and could accommodate the whole group very comfortably. Tammy was responsive and very kind. Price was more than fair. My whole family was so impressed and will use this vrbo in the future and will recommend it to everyone we know! It was the best decision we made all weekend. Thank you!

What a wonderful stay! Our nephew was getting married so this home was perfect for our family. Being so close to the venue was a huge plus. We have adult children late 20s early 30s so the extra space was fantastic. Plenty of room for all of us. Everything was clean well stocked. The beds were super comfy.
Thank you again for sharing your lovely home.

We had a great stay at the house: two couples and four kids under the age of five. The house was perfectly set up for our group, with plenty of space and indoor/outdoor areas. The place was spotless, beds were comfortable, and linens were abundant - made for an easy settling in. There are also grocery stores and a solid number of restaurants in and around Burlington, so we hardly had to drive.

My self, husband and in laws stayed at this lake house. We had the most amazing time. Tammy was wonderful and easy to communicate with. We woke up each sat at the front deck watching the sunrise.. sitting there with a cup of coffee and take in the sounds of nature and beautiful earth God has given us. We fished off the dock, in the canoe and on the pontoon boat around the lake. Beds were super comfy, all the necessities available just as if you were in your own home. The downstairs heated sauna was the highlight to the end of each day. This place is simply beautiful. Neighbors we talked to were all very friendly. Must have a hamburger at "Fred's" world famous burger and custard at Adrians. We truly had the most amazing time at the lake house and hope to return again. Thank you Tammy for sharing your home with us.

What a wonderful family vacation !
The house has amazing views of the lake.
Getting up early to watch the sunrise over the lake was so peaceful and relaxing.
The kids enjoyed playing in the sand for hours.
Yes, there was seed weed but it’s a lake, not a pool.
Tammy was easy to communicate with and responded back quickly.
The kitchen has everything you could need to cook several meals. It’s very well stocked.
Many family memories were made over the 5 days we were there.
It’s a perfect family vacation home.

We had a blast staying here! The lake was clear and filled with birds and trees on the water. Had an enjoyable day paddling around the lake and hanging out around the fire pit, would recommend.

Our daughter got married in Burlington, which for us, was out of town. We wanted something more than just a hotel room. The location was absolutely perfect to the venue. This house is simply adorable!! My only wish is that we would have had more time to spend here! Would highly recommend Tammy’s house for a getaway on a beautiful lake!!!

We enjoyed every minute of our spring weekend at this lovely lake home. The layout was ideal for our intergenerational family, the deck overlooking the lake was the perfect spot for morning coffee and all-day enjoyment of boats and wildlife, and the pool table downstairs was great entertainment on a rainy afternoon. Tammy was attentive and kind. We would absolutely return to this place!

Enjoyed our stay on this lakefront home, though it was December! The place is fully stocked with everything you might need, as if you were at home. Comfortable sleeping quarters, great kitchen, and roomy living quarters. Just five minutes from our venue for the weekend’s events.

There’s a certain quality of furnishings when the owners also vacation at the rental property. From the mattresses to the towels; from the various glasses and dishes to pots/pans and utensils; absolutely everything you need and good quality.. While the lake had a thin layer of ice it was still beautiful and you could enjoy the peaceful sound of the geese. We’d love to come back in the summer for water activities. Great location near quiet town and shopping. Enjoyed Tristan Crist Magic Show, Dancing Horses and the waterpark; plenty to do anytime of year. Great place to stay.

There were five of us staying at the house. Because we are all older adults, we asked A LOT of questions before choosing this rental and then even after we have booked the home. The owner was very responsive and answered all our questions.
The house is very nicely appointed and the view was spectacular. We had fall weather that was to die for. The trees all around the lake were brilliant. We spent much of our time either sitting on the pier, around the campfire on the patio or on the deck. We watched sunrises over the water with our coffee.
Recommend bringing jugs of water for the coffee pot, as the well water probably would have given the coffee an off flavor. The beds were comfortable and the kitchen table accommodated us all. Would love to come back another time.
