It was a lovely stay. It was so nice to have the kayaks and paddleboards there for us to use, as well as the games in the playroom. It was a great place for a young family.

The house was beautiful and the view was magnificent! It was so close to the venue of the bridal shower I was co-hosting and the perfect setting for all of the bridesmaids and brides to gather after. We told stories and laughed. The kitchen was perfectly stocked. We all loved it.

We enjoyed our stay right on the lake. We celebrated my wife's birthday while there. From ages 8 to 76 there was plenty of room and lots to do. Nice size living room for people to talk, large dining table, a garage full of things for the young ones. We enjoyed the kayaks, paddle boards and the fire pit. the peninsula was great for serving. The bathroom was very clean with walk-in shower.The hosts are wonderful and easy to get along with.Several families could stay.

Great lake getaway

Great location to relax and play in the water. Far enough out to provide a break from city life, but not too far away from anything you would need. Very clean and well appointed. Attentive and accommodating hosts.
