Patricia C. May 29, 2025 06:44:00 AM
Summary: We book this house in to host an event with friends of over 20 years. The house accommodated all 11 of us comfortably. We cooked, painted, had movie and game night. My only regret is that we weren’t able to use the hot tub during our stay. Definitely would rent again.
Victoria R. Feb 17, 2025 10:54:50 PM
Summary: We stayed at Cindy and Sean’s place as a group of 4 couples and 2 babies. There was plenty of space for our group and we felt very comfortable in this home. It’s about a 20-30 min drive to Wisp for skiing and a 10 minute drive to the nearest store / restaurants. Our group enjoyed the sun porch, spacious living room, and home theater experience. Home is clean and up-kept very well. Only thing I would note for prospective renters is that Sean and Cindy care deeply about their home, so there is a lengthier rental agreement and slightly more involved process to finalize the rental than for some VRBO properties.
Faith A. Sep 15, 2024 01:59:23 AM
Summary: Our stay was wonderful! The house was as pictured and the owners were very easy to work with. They keep a lovely home. It was very clean and comfortable and the perfect space for us to celebrate our friend!
Dylan S. Aug 11, 2024 02:01:32 AM
Summary: Spent a week here with 8 adults, a 5 year old, and 2 toddlers. The house was very spacious and well maintained. We took advantage of the close proximity to the pool, soccer field, and basketball and pickleball courts. We had great and easy communication with the homeowner as well. A few highlights that stuck out to our family: - super clean property - great game closet stocked with games for all ages - room darkening shades - owner’s attention to detail (in decor, communication, home maintenance, and home amenities)

Summary: Lure of the Lake is an amazing house on a beautiful piece of property nestled in a gorgeous neighborhood. There were 8 of us. 3 couples and 2 kids. Plenty of room for all to spread out and common areas large enough to accommodate everyone for activities like meals, or movies or an impromptu pool tournament. The fire pit and hot tub were great too.

Summary: Our entire family loved the house and location. It was the perfect size for our group of nine. The kitchen was a dream and included everything you could possibly need when preparing a meal. Nothing was missing! The layout of the house was perfect with the primary bedroom on the top level with an amazing bathroom, two bedrooms on the main level both with their own bathrooms and two bedrooms in the basement along with a game room with a pool table and movie room. There was also a full bathroom in the basement. At first we were concerned about the noise level which could come from the game room because our 18 month old grandson was scheduled to sleep nearby. However, even with the noise, he never woke up because of the great insulation in the house. Between the game room/movie room, hot tub and fire pit plus fabulous location, who could ask for more. We definitely hope to return in the future.

Summary: We loved our stay. Thank you Sean and Cindy. If my home was this beautiful I wouldn’t share it! It didn’t matter the weather— we could go to beach at Deep Creek, use community pool, go into the hot tub— or do all 3. Plenty of entertainment inside and out. Or gorgeous setting to do nothing but relax. Kids already asking when we can return. Oh! The house with the great wooden doors is basically soundproof. We had a baby, 2 and 6 year old and no one disturbed anyone else. That was completely unexpected but so great. The house was immaculate. Fire pit grand. LOVE!!! And Pawns Run down the road was a great and fun restaurant. Kid friendly. Skip Lakeside Creamery. Go for Devlers.
Arash A. Apr 24, 2024 08:22:45 PM
Summary: We had a great time and the stay was everything that we expected it to be. Would love to go back again.
Mark K. Feb 20, 2024 03:35:23 AM
Summary: Best place we've ever stayed at through VRBO. Host communicated perfectly and have thought of every detail. You can see and feel the effort and pride they have in this house. Our group was three families all with daughters ranging from 11 to 7 years old. Everyone loved the house and could not have been happier. Thank you for having us and we hope we can come again next year!
Erica S. Jan 6, 2024 02:01:01 AM
Summary: The owners have taken great care to ensure the highest caliber of furnishings. The beds were extremely comfortable. The bed linen was very inviting. The home is well decorated. The location is tucked away and offers the feeling of privacy, yet the tennis courts and soccer fields are directly across the road-perfect for my family to enjoy! The appliances and equipment were high quality, and the owners equipped the home with a stacked game closet of choices! Wonderful stay - thank you Sean and Cindy for your efforts!
