Pictures do not do justice to this stunning home. Our immediate impressions upon check in were that the home was sparkling clean and bright with lots of natural light from the many lake facing windows. The house and yard are very well maintained, and the quality (water cleanliness and lake bottom) of the all sports lake is excellent. It was the perfect space and ideal layout for all 3 families who attended this trip. Plenty of places to gather all together (fire pit with ample seating, huge and unique kitchen table) but also quiet spots (multi-level decks, screened porch, finished basement) for members of our party to work remotely or find a place to read. With all of the high quality gear supplied by our hosts (kayaks, paddleboards, foosball table in basement, cornhole set), our group was able to stay busy with a variety of fun activities. One piece of advice...always take your shoes when you head down to the yard as the midday sun makes the decks and connecting stairs quite hot.
The kitchens (yes 2!) meant that we had plenty of refrigerator space for enough food and drinks for 12 adults for our entire 4 night visit. And the upstairs icemaker impressively kept pace with all 12 guests refilling waterbottles our entire stay. The kitchens are the most well stocked any of us have ever encountered in a rental home. (And we cooked everyday)
Matthew and Courtney are the ultimate hosts! They were quickly responsive to questions during the booking process, in the time before our trip, and during our stay. We greatly appreciated the thoroughness of their house guide, as it explained how to work many appliances and the specific check out procedure, among much other useful information. Even beyond the kitchen, the house was thoughtfully stocked with very high quality products (soaps, shampoo, towels, extra bedding, etc)
Our group had an excellent time and are already talking about rebooking the house for a trip next summer.
