Fox Family Vacation

This property was perfect for our family vacation. Enough beds for everyone and a lake to swim in. Within walking distance to Rome City and running paths for our 3 marathon runners. Everyone enjoyed their week. We would rent again.

We had the BEST time at the lake! This spot is perfect for multiple couples like we had or multiple families. I don't know if it's just my old age, but I appreciate good AC and easy accommodations, this house had both. Rent a boat from west lake rentals for the weekend. We will definitely be back soon.

Rented for my husband's annual golf outing. Sixteen guys ranging in age from early 20's to 70's had a great time. The only complaint I heard was from the old farts who had a hard time with the stairs. They didn't seem to have a hard time with the 72 holes of golf they played tho :)

Lakehouse Vacation

We had a great week on Sylvan Lake. The house was the cleanest we've stayed at so far, with more than enough space for our group. We enjoyed the lake, and the town, walking the path to get ice cream was a highlight for the kids. We would definitely stay here again!

We had another wonderfully memorable experience on Sylvan Lake at this property this summer. Both the indoor space and outdoor spaces are very family friendly! The kitchen is well stocked with a new gas stove and two available refrigerators. The new air conditioning in the loft above the garage was incredibly appreciated by our grandchildren. Courtney has always been so responsive in a timely fashion and very helpful. We look forward to many more weeks in this home for our family’s summer vacation.

It was a great place to connect with friends and our families. Love the location on the water and the rooms accommodated our large group. We were able to rent a pontoon and pull it right up to the house as well as enjoy the lake. Great firepit and scenery.

Annual family girls weekend

We had 12 adults stay comfortably without needing to use the above garage bedroom. We were able to easily rent a pontoon boat and explored the lake. Many very cool houses to look at. We also went to the Slyvan wine cellar and it had a great outdoor space and good drinks. House was well stocked with everything we needed.

There was plenty of room for us all to have our space and the house was stocked so we had everything we needed to enjoy our time. We loved the kitchen and enjoyed playing games in the family room.

Great Place- Clean and Ready to use. Grilled Steaks for 14 people, beds were plentiful, played family games at large dining table. Were able to strategically Park 4 Midsize SUVs and 3 sedan cars. Lake was frozen- so we couldnt enjoy that- but patio had plenty of seating. Would definately stay here again.

Fun stay for our large group

Plenty of rooms and beds for our group of 16. Loved the bonus room above the garage. Ample seating both indoors and outdoors for meals together, watching movies and playing games. Kitchen was well stocked. The lake and outdoor space was beautiful. Quick responses to our questions leading up to the trip and during our stay. The owners did warn us that the patio pavers were loose- they were quite loose and a falling hazard around the edges. Also could not get the indoor fireplace to work. These were minor issues. Otherwise a perfect stay. Would love to return when the weather is warmer so we can enjoy the lake.
