Absolutely beautiful home on a beautiful lake. The 3 levels of home made it great for larger families needing places to sleep/quiet. Very clean! The ping pong table was a hit on the rainy day. Would definitely book again!

An extraordinary location for children & their adults! The arcade games, ping pong table, pocket pool, beach toys and layout with open floors facilitated fun for kids from 1-70 yrs. A commodious garage with two paddle board, PFDs, flotation toys & other beach paraphernalia were much appreciated. The onsite pontoon boat was another great plus. Great deck, fire pit and grill. The owner was very quick to provide lots of useful information. A wasp hive enroute to the beach resulted in a few stings and the lower level was a bit cool for comfortable sleeping & lacked a bathroom but overall my extended family and I were very pleased and would return without hesitation!

Spacious House in a Great Location

The house is spacious, welcoming, and well-designed, offering excellent separation between the floors. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay. While the first night was disrupted by some issues with alarms and noise, these were promptly resolved the following day.

Forest Lake getaway

Our stay was relaxing and enjoyable. Mostly enjoyed time at the house with family, playing games, eating, boating. We did venture out to the Pizza Pub for lunch, to the town via boat for music night and art fair, a winery, golf and pickleball. Location was fantastic for adult children who had some work responsibilities so easily able to come and go to the cities.

Beautiful Lake Home

This beautiful lake home was so enjoyable to stay at. So many great and thoughtful amenities! Beautiful views & a very clean and well decorated place to stay. Everyone that stayed had a great time and the kids really enjoyed every part from the indoor games to the outdoor activities. It’s such a family friendly place and everyone talked about how much fun they had, how relaxing it was and how they wish we would have stayed longer. We highly recommend this place to stay and hope to return someday.

Lakeview retreat

Our son was getting married nearby so we rented this home for the wedding weekend. We had 12 adults staying. We had a wonderful time. There was plenty of space for everyone. The home is well equipped with most everything you will need. There are a few areas that need some repairs, but it didn’t hinder us from enjoying our stay. We stayed in October so we didn’t use the lake, but it provided wonderful views out the large windows.

Incredible Lake House!

Incredible house! We had 4 families with children and there was more than enough space for everyone with room to spare. Recommend renting the pontoon boat from them as well. Host was the most responsive and helpful possible. The amenities were great: plenty of towels, throw blankets, use of SUPs, tube and magic carpet, children’s toys, games, and more. Highly recommended renting!
