We had a wonderful time at this beautiful lodge. We are a family of seven adults and five children. There was plenty of room for all of us. Everyone had beautiful big bedrooms with very comfortable beds. Bathrooms were great with big roomy showers. We could all sit together around the large tables to eat and play games. The lodge is spotless clean . The lake is beautiful ! Everyone had fun swimming, fishing and kayaking. It was very easy to communicate with the host Bob. He went over and above to be helpful and accommodating . We can’t thank him and Graham enough for making our family reunion unforgettable.

Beautiful place (with some flaws)

We picked this place for a family reunion and it's in many ways beautiful. The fireplace and "tree" in the house are amazing, the lake is clear and quiet, star-gazing is great at night, and it's really a nice place to relax. We had a great time swimming, making music, and exploring the area. And yet, and yet — to make this a truly great Vrbo, it needs a little bit more ongoing attention. Make sure all the light bulbs are still working, the kayaks/boats can be used, the oven works (it didn't really for us), basic kitchen utensils are available etc. — just all the little things that come with managing a vacation home of this size. Plus, keep the description accurate — 10 bedrooms is a bit misleading, it's probably more like 6 with other places people could sleep in (though the bare-bones boathouse is a bit of a stretch). Anyway, this is a beautiful place and we had a great time, but it could use a little more "active" management to make it perfect.

Great house, nice location

Great, large house in a very secluded, quiet neighborhood. Many things to do within a 20-30 minute drive.

Terrific Retreat for Family Vacation!

We had a terrific week away... Cottage was spectacular with lots of room for the whole family. We enjoyed time on the lake, canoeing and kayaking. Great for large families and corporate retreats.

A peaceful retreat

This lodge is one of a kind with hand worked architecture. The lake offered beautiful sunrises and sunsets and the seclusion was very peaceful and relaxing. Our overall visit was great and we will visit again.
