Large House, Conveniently Located
Great spot for enjoying the lake and crystal digging. Off the main road, so very peaceful. We rented all the cabins from the host and were able to house 30 family members comfortably. A couple of things to be aware of - there are only 2 full baths and they accessible only through bedrooms. There is another small toilet in a open bedroom, but doesn't have a door - only a curtain, which reduces its usefulness considerably. House could use some maintenance, including some pest control and door knobs kept falling off. A couple of mattresses weren't very comfortable. I believe it's priced accordingly though. It was a great value for a large group.

End of Summer Fun
It’s was our second time staying at this rental. House was very clean and well stocked!! Plenty of room. Outside porch could use a refresher on chairs and cleanliness. Looks like it’s a forgotten part of the house and a storage area for broken chairs. All that being said we played baggo in the front and didn’t use the porch. We had a blast!

WONDERFUL PLACE!
Everything was lovely. The setting was comfortable and there was plenty of space for the 13 of us. There were extra pillows, blankets and towels! We will be back next year! There is a hometown grocery store about 10 minutes down the road and a pizza joint that had wonderful pizza! We rented a pontoon on Hamilton and it was about a 30 minute drive. Had a blast!
