All taxes and fees included in rental rate. We do ask you leave the home as nicely as found. Thank you!
This has got to be one of best vacations we have ever had! The house was so cute, and roomy! I want to decorate my house like it,so cozy and charming. I loved sitting on the porch in the morning with my coffee and at night to watch the sunset. The kids had a blast jumping off the deck into the lake and rowing the boats! Wish we could have stayed longer! The owners have thought of everything you would need during your stay. I would love to live there!
When we drove up to Hiawatha it immediately brought back memories of childhood lake vacations with its peaceful setting and charming retro decor. The bedrooms are lovely - with beautiful colors and lakeviews in most. I loved the location: 'away from it all' but within easy driving distance of everything we needed so we didn't have to leave the front porch or dock too often. Can't wait to come again!
