Family Vacation

Plenty of space for everyone, nice size yard to play games, quiet bay to paddle a kayak, enjoyed the lily pad and floating dock, and caught some fish off the dock. Enjoyed the firepit and the clear night skies for stargazing.

Fabulous Retreat location!

We had a fabulous stay at the gorgeous house. HUGE amount of space, which was perfect for our leadership team work retreat. For everyone to have a space for themselves amplified the self care time. Gorgeous property and we would highly recommend!

Perfect little getaway

We booked this location for my partners 40th birthday and it ended up being better than we could have imagined. The owners communicate great, have all the supplies that you may need to enjoy your time at the lake and the setup of the house is amazing for large groups. Will definitely consider booking this VRBO again!

Great Getaway!

House is great for a getaway! There is lots of room for everyone to spread out! The house was very clean and had the basic supplies needed for the weekend. Owners were very easy to contact and let us use lots of outdoor items such as paddle boat, kayak, games, chairs, etc. Would highly recommend! We hope to go again!

Great place for fun with family and friends!

We stayed there with a group of friends and had a great time catching up. The house is very nice and spacious. All bedrooms were really good size with comfortable beds. If the weather was a little nicer, we definitely would have used the outside amenities as we stayed there in mid March. We would highly recommend booking this VRBO for your next vacation.

Great place for family gathering

We rented this house for a Christmas family gathering. It was clean, the house was roomy and the kitchen was well stocked. Our only issue was limited parking, as you can't park on the street, otherwise we were very happy with the property.

We loved the setting of this rental. Picture perfect lakefront views. Waterfront seating and fire pit so enjoyable! Timing and cooler weather prevented us from utilizing the pontoon but we had hoped to use it—next time for sure!The house itself is spacious and met all our needs. Only suggestion for improvement is another TV. We would have enjoyed a TV on the screen porch rather than having to go to the lower level. This is a really great place and the owners were very responsive to all communication. Highly recommend!!!

A group of high school friends rented this property for a long weekend. The location is perfect - near Crosby - and there are lots to do in the area. Golfing, biking & water activities. The property itself is somewhat outdated but it was VERY spacious for our group of 4 couples. With 7 bedrooms everyone got to pick. The kitchen could use a bit more serving pieces and one suggestion would be to label the outside of the drawers/cabinets to help find everything needed faster given the size of the kitchen. :) It would also help to have baggies/foil for leftover food. The room overlooking the lake was our favorite place for coffee & evening hang outs. The house was so big we only used about half of it! The yard is very spacious for games and the lake is beautiful. We enjoyed our stay. Oh - and Glen the host was very responsive and flexible with requests. Thanks!
