Perfect

Three different families of kids ages 4-16 and three sets of moms and dads plus Nana who was celebrating a birthday and her 89 year old mom so 4 generations in one house for 4 nights would give some people the heebie jeebies, but we didnt have one argumenr or unkind word. The house is 3 levels. Kids loved the water slide on the boatslip, clear lake water, kayaks, fishing off the boat slip and the lily pad. Adults loved common cooking/eating areas but being able to have their own family nesting areas. Beds were comfortable, bathrooms spacious and clean. Kitchen was well equipped with appliances, dishes, storage, and refrigerators on 2 levels. We are going back next year. Everybody agrees this is best meet in the middle house we’ve ever had

Great Home

This house is exactly as pictured. Very roomy and everything you need plus more. There were sound machines in the bedrooms, which was wonderful as I left mine at home. Newer home with many amenities! The owners were very prompt to answer questions. Also, we couldn’t find the safety gate for the stairs and they brought one within 20 minutes plus had another delivered from Amazon. The entire family had a blast! One of the best rentals we’ve ever stayed! There were plenty of toys for the toddlers plus books, card games and poker for the adults. We’ll definitely be back! Thanks for a wonderful Memorial weekend!

Beautiful Home

Beautiful home and property, with plenty of space for everyone to have their own space and privacy. Very clean, with a well stocked kitchen. Comfortable beds. Dock area was clean - lily pad was a nice addition. There is a 10/15 foot area before the lake that is a steep side walk, so be prepared, as it is not for the elderly or those with trouble walking. We were all late 30s to early 40s and struggled, but not enough to keep up from coming back! Already booked for next year!

Amazing Property

I couldn't have picked a better rental property. It accommodated all of my family. They had a Christmas tree which was perfect because we visited during the holidays. They had every amenity you could think of. We were not far from a local store. This property was beautiful and well decorated. Will book this property again.
