Well, all I have to say about my stay is Wow! I got to stay in a warm, cozy and a very spacious downstairs of a two story home that overlooks the most beautiful quiet private lake. I was very close to the lake. There is a paddle boat and other boats to use for fishing and touring and a nice dock for enjoying that lake from shore. You get a fully equipt Kitchen, no food just all the essentials an even a laundry too. There is full bath an 3 beds and bunk beds for the kids too! This is a pet friendly retreat! I caught a bass right off the dock. Kim the homeowner, gave me a tour all around the lake on this big flat touring boat, that was the highlight of my stay, just sit back and enjoy! I had so much relaxing fun I can't wait to book it again. I will definately be taking pictures next time to share this heavenly area with you all, maybe... I kinda wanna keep this as my secret place.

It's a beautiful lake and you can really relax here. Other reviews are accurate and this property can be described as a "classic lake home." The beds were very comfortable and our simple requirements of a bbq and a fire pit by the lake were very well met. Kim answered all questions very quickly. Great host...and a nice puppy.

Disappointing overall. I will say that Kim’s directions to the property were very accurate and it was easy to find. She was very responsive to us while we were there. However, the basement unit smelled like mildew. Two of the beds were unusable because they smelled like urine and mildew. I spent 20 minutes cleaning the coffee maker and the washing machine had black mold in it, making it unusable. The property was in a beautiful location on the lake. However there was decades of debris all around, and it was a shame that what could have been a fabulous view of the lake was obscured by overgrown trees and bushes. After leaving, our clothes smelled like mildew. Definitely not a good value for the price. I would recommend avoiding this one.

Summer fun on Ames Lake
We wanted a private PNW lake getaway and we found it! We swam, sat by the fire pit, paddleboarded, fished and tooled around in our electric boat while totally decompressing. If you want fancy or modern, this is not your place. If you want a quiet place with no frillls and an awesome lake front stay, here it is.

This place is really awesome. The owner was very helpful. The lake was clean and the property provided life jackets, a paddle boat and had a boat for rent. We spent a week and and would go back again. Just a few things- nothing negative just be aware you will need some good backing skills for the driveway. It’s totally doable but for our big SUV, it was a little tight. And- if you plan to spend some time and use this as a base camp- please do yourself a favor and plan at least one lake day. The lake is absolutely gorgeous and the doc area that’s provided has a place for campfire hotdogs and smores.

Great location on the lake and well located for the wedding we were attending in Monroe. Reasonably well equipped kitchen. For 4 or more only 1 bathroom can lead to a queue but it’s hardly a major issue. 6 nights. Thoroughly enjoyed it.

Good location, great host but the property is dated
The good: Great location- right on a beautiful lake. The host provides access to boats. Kim is very helpful, and easy to reach. The house is in a nice little community- good place to relax with family/friends, hike, boat, etc. The appliances seemed to be working fine. There was hot water. The not so good: The property is very old with a weird layout. There is unsecured storage area in one side of the property. Everything in the house is very dated. The written instructions by owner for sleeper couch literally said it can slice through sheets. Coffee mugs were dirty. No dishwasher.
