We loved this vacation home. In the middle of nowhere. No restaurants anywhere around. Nearest grocery store 30 minutes away. My wife and I and our nine children (ages 6-22) plus our daughter-in-law were very comfortable in the large rooms. We swam, kayaked, canoed and fished in the calm cove. We watched movies, played ping pong, and worked out in the nice fitness room. My wife loved the extremely well-equipped kitchen. There’s a Traeger grill on the deck which we used. This was our first Lake vacation, and the kids want to rent this place again next year.
If you’re looking for a fancy lake neighborhood, this isn’t it. It was safe and quiet though. That’s a positive for us. No snooty neighbors.
The negatives: The yard needed to be mowed, but the house was pretty well-maintained. The steps to the lake are crazy steep and need a hand rail. This place really needs a dock. We had to put our canoe and kayaks in the water at a gravel boat launch on the neighboring lot. Very accessible, and no one seemed to mind. We wanted to rent a pontoon boat, but there was nowhere within a reasonable distance to rent one.
I didn’t know if the family would like this better than the beach or the mountains, but they did.
