GREAT PLACE TO STAY
We had a great time at Oar House. We were surprised that the house was furnished eating and cooking utensils, games, coloring books and crayons and shampoo/conditioner/body wash in the bathroom.

Enjoyable visit
We had a pleasant stay at the Oar House. The upstairs mattresses were harder than what we personally prefer (side sleepers complained of hip and shoulder pain) and couldn't get the remote on the Sleep Number mattress downstairs to work. I'm not sure if it was the remote or user error though. The drip pans on the stovetop burners were a little greasy (as were the utensils beside the stove from splatters), but everything else was very clean. The host definitely went the extra mile to provide all the little extras to make our stay as comfortable as possible. We loved the coffee bar and enjoyed the wooded view from the sunroom while sipping our morning coffee. We also enjoyed the wildlife prints and the cozy decor. The deck and fire ring areas were also lovely. I would definitely recommend this property..

Family vacation
The oar house was great and Andy was very kind and responsive. Note to those traveling with small children; the only room with a door is the master. The double beds in the loft are not the most comfortable for adults (but the master bed is).

Relaxing Getaway in the Woods
Our family enjoyed a long weekend at the Oarhouse. The house was beautiful and the location was perfect for enjoying various activities around the lake. We also loved the outdoor fire area at night and deck was the perfect place to sip coffee and listen to the birds in the morning!!

Cozy Cabin Convenient to the Lake
We thoroughly enjoyed our stay (again) at Oar House! The cabin has everything we needed for a relaxing time and is so convenient to Glendale Lake. We took our kayaks on the lake almost every day during our stay, and enjoyed the cozy convenience of the cabin as home base. We certainly plan to return for future stays. Thanks to our host for such a gem!

Perfect cabin get-a-way at the Oar House!
Beautiful cabin! Just like the pictures. We adored the decorations and attention to detail. They even had corn hole boards with the “Oar House” logo on them. All the railings were truly oars! It is such a cute idea!! There were plenty of towels and necessities to make our stay very comfortable. The beds were even comfy and did not squeak. Very spacious!! The property is private but yet you have neighbors. A cute screened in porch/sunroom on the front was perfect to enjoy the morning coffee with animal friends crossing by. It was close to the lake and all activities we wanted to do locally. The host was super helpful in planning our weekend get a way and very responsive.

We loved the Oar House!
I had never used Vrbo before and it felt too good to be true how easy the booking process was! Not only that, but also the check-in process and communication with our host was easy and great as well! The host kindly allowed us early check-in and the place was so clean and has everything you could need! I would recommend this location to anyone looking to have a lovely, comfortable stay in a beautiful location! We miss the Oar House already!
