We planned a family vacation and this home was the perfect place. The weather was not suitable for the lake but we were able to enjoy the basement with all the entertainment. We had family games and movie time. The house has everything needed for cooking and great space. The den was cozy and had great views. We would love to return and enjoy the lake. Elizabeth & John were the perfect host. They provided great information about the area and were always quick to respond to our questions.

Perfect Multi-Family Getaway!

The house and hosts are absolutely incredible! Perfect for large groups or families. The basement adds a massive extra space for hangouts / activities / games without disrupting anyone asleep. House has everything you could want in a lake rental. The private lake area is great being in a cove, only downside of this property is the walk from the house to the steep steps going down to the water which would be tough for olde generations.

We loved our stay here, the lake is just stunning and the house is very comfortable and thoughtful in how they stocked everything. We had a small breath work retreat at my healing center, and this is where we housed the facilitators and a few guests and it was the perfect spot for lake access and meals. Highly recommend! The hosts were so nice and accommodating to all of our needs!

Great family vacation

The house was just as pictured and perfect for our family. We had our three sons, their wives and our 7 grandchildren. We spent many hours down at the lakeside, playing in the warm water. We also rented a boat from a nearby marina for a couple of days so it was nice to have the dock that could accommodate it. Overall, a great place for family fun!!

We were excited about this home based on the pictures and found it to be even better in person. Every room was fresh and clean, the house was well stocked with everything we needed, and the lakefront property and cabana kept us occupied all day. Conveniently located with grocery stores and shops nearby. The house is spacious enough to hold a large group very comfortably. I highly recommend this property and would stay again.

Great fun on the lake!

This house is large and can accommodate groups of all sizes. It is super dog-friendly which is great when traveling with pets. The house is equipped with everything you need, including two kayaks which we really enjoyed. The house is located across the street from the lake but the private dock was awesome for jumping into the lake and enjoying a glass of wine at sunset.
