Great Family Rental
Fabulous time. Many water accessories offered which made it very enjoyable for our kiddos.
Bring your fishing poles!! One of my kiddos pulled out 28 fish just from the dock!
Super quiet back on the channel.
Kitchen fully stocked and very clean!
Downsides : No washclothes for showers. Bring your own. No ladder to climb out of water onto dock. No chairs at firepit. NO DATA and very weak wifi.
Other than the few downsides which are minor other than the wifi it is a fabulous house and location. We would 100% come back!
We cooked and grilled breakfast and lunch at the house while we were there but ate dinner one night at The Strand (make reservations if you want to eat outside) which was absolutely fabulous and we also ate at Sisters Brewery. Food was more simplistic but very good as well. Both had live music which was nice.
My kiddos enjoyed ice cream from Driftwoods.

Rain? Didn’t stop us!
Another wonderful week trip to Sisters Lake. Since day 1 of booking this house, Bill has been very professional and very communicative as to what amenities the house offered and anything that we might need to be more comfortable. The electricity went out on day one. No biggie! Bill was very proactive and honest as to when the power will return. Didn’t bother us at all! We appreciated his openness and communication and still had a wonderful time on the boat. The teens loved fishing off the pier and paddle boarding around the coves. We will definitely return!

Beautiful home
Beautiful home with high end features for a comfortable stay. Access to kayaks and paddle boat which the kids loved. Fishing wasn’t great, we didn’t catch a thing. If you have pets and like to travel with them, this isn’t the place for you. Neighbors are not friendly and don’t like dogs. If you are traveling just as a family, it’s a nice place to stay. Great campfire spot, great hiking nearby. Overall, we enjoyed our time there.
