Our family had a wonderful stay! The kitchens had everything we needed. The shared space, view, and pier were amazing! We definitely enjoyed the game room. It was challenging not to have a bathroom for the guys in the bunk room, but all in all our stay was great!

This lake house exceeded every single one of our expectations! The home itself is absolutely beautiful and incredibly well-designed, making it perfect for hosting large groups. Everyone in our party had plenty of space to relax, connect, and enjoy themselves without ever feeling crowded.The amenities are seemingly endless and top-notch across the board. Having multiple kitchens made meal prep and feeding a big group completely seamless. We spent our days down at the dock and our evenings split between the game room, the cozy movie theater, and gathering around the fire pit under the stars.Literally, nothing was lacking—the hosts thought of every single detail to make our stay comfortable and memorable. We would highly recommend this property to anyone looking for a luxury lake getaway, and we can’t wait to come back!

Great home, accommodated three generations of family members for reunion. On suites are best feature so accessibility is good on main floor. Lots of fun things to do. Plenty of dining seating for 20 plus people. Only concern was outside grill only one burner (left) of three working properly and needs work, needs good cleaning.

Great stay again. This is our second time at this home. There is plenty of room, it has a great layout, and the kitchen is spacious. We spent a lot of time in the game room downstairs and on the dock. Well designed for groups of 10-12 adults.

Now that's the ultimate compliment, Elliott - coming back for a second season! Port Royale really does transform from fall to summer, and we love that your group got to experience both. Fall lake views and summer dock days, best of both worlds. Hope there's a visit number three in the works! — The Evoke Team
