Anyone would be thrilled to stay in Lee’s home, and for people who noticed the details like we do, the experience was extra elevated. Lee was the most attentive and responsive host, we loved him! The views speak for themselves, and we had tons of fun on the lake as a family, paddling and kayaking. They spared no expense on this home and you truly feel like you are borrowing a friend’s well loved place for the week. Morning coffee was a vacation in itself with the butler’s pantry style coffee nook, everything you need for a perfect latte and it makes your morning rituals feel special! All beds were very comfortable, high quality linens and subtle LED lighting everywhere. The kitchen was well equipped with a double air fryer and great appliances, something this mom appreciated. Grilling on the deck was a bonus! The best part, our teen son walking into the space for the first time and actually being impressed! “This is how I want to decorate my house”. Bravo and thank you!
What an amazing stay! Hugge House is actually better than described. Lee is a consummate host, and clearly has multiple skills that allow him to curate beautifully decorated, comfortable, and seamless environments to enjoy time on the lake. The home automation was incredible and blended the authentic feel of lake living with modern accessibility that truly felt futuristic. It would be impossible to be bored here, we found that stating home was our favorite part of the trip ;) It reminded me of the French poet Renard "S'ennuyer, c'est s'insulter soi-même." = To be bored is an insult to oneself. I paddled deep into Beaver Pond and the wildlife was insane. Turtles, Egrets, Falcons, Canada Geese, one bright white duck who was friends with everyone, tons of fish. We rented a boat for the day and ate lunch along the shore after sightseeing. Deer wandered the yard and neighborhood, and fireflys like I remember as a kid. It was magical. 10/10. Highly Endorse. Thanks Lee! <3
My family loved our stay here! We enjoyed every feature the house had to offer, from the lake, to the kayaks and paddle board, the hot tub, the blackstone, the Sonos system, and more. We would definitely stay here again!
Round two at Hygge, & we still want to move in permanently! It’s incredibly serene, the views are picturesque, the record player is spinning, & the Blackstone got plenty of use. If you want a fully stocked, ultra-chic lakeside getaway, just book it already. We certainly will be back for round three!
