Another excellent stay at this gorgeous house on Palmer Lake. Love the huge kitchen, giant kitchen table and couch, the fire pit, plentiful outdoor seating and easy lake access. Some of the checkout info is a bit out of date, but the hosts were very responsive throughout the week to our questions and very minor issues. Can't wait to plan another stay here!

Great Palmer Lake Vacation

Large lakefront home with bedrooms, kitchen with table and chairs, family room, and outdoor and indoor porches to comfortably accommodate my family group of 12. And Palmer Lake is large enough with low boat traffic for tubing, swimming, and kayaking.

Friends Lakehouse Getaway

The home was exactly as described and had everything we needed for our long weekend stay. There are plenty of chairs and beds for all of the guests to use. The lake view is beautiful. We rented the pontoon boat, spent time swimming and lounging in rafts. Would definitely recommend this property to others.

Beautiful home and lake

We loved staying at this home. It has every possible household convenience. Bedrooms were perfect for our group, plenty of room. The outside property is great for fun family activities. The lake is very clean with a sandy bottom, caught many fish off the pier. I can't think of one negative thing about this home and property! We would definitely go back!

Our family stayed for 5 nights at the Collins home on Palmer Lake and there are so many wonderful things we could say about this rental. There were 10 of us total (5 children ranging from 3-14) and we all had so much fun enjoying fishing, swimming, pontoon cruising, and the many indoor and outdoor activities and toys available at the home. The pontoon was spacious and perfect for enjoying the lake, highly recommend renting it during your stay. The outdoor seating and porch areas were definitely a highlight when not on the lake, the sunsets were a perfect view. The home was clean and stocked with plenty of things to make the stay feel more like home. We had such a great time. Thank you John and Angel!

It was hard to leave this home!

Three generations of my family had a very enjoyable time at this property. The home was exactly as portrayed in the listing. If anything, some of the amenities were understated: e.g. children's furniture items, such as crib, high chair; children's toys and books; kitchen equipment and supplies. We were very comfortable and would highly recommend this destination.
