This was our third year staying here, and we loved it just as much as previous years! The beach is always a hit with the littles and the adults love taking the kayaks out. This year we had 3 loon friends right next to us kayaking. The property is made for families with the game room and large living room area for movie nights.

The property had everything we needed. Plenty of space and parking. Very private and peaceful. The cabins were well stocked with all our needs. Very clean. The game room was a great hang out for the grandkids. Lots of outdoor seating on the deck, around the fire pit and down by the lake. We enjoyed our stay very much.

Wonderful property! Lots of space and enjoyed having a campfire each night. The deck space by the beach and docks, overlooking the lake was incredible. Cabin was very clean, well maintained and stocked with all necessities and then some. It was perfect for three families. Lake was quiet and kids had great time catching fish.

Amazing property for extended family vacation! I cannot say enough about how lovely this property was for our whole family - from the well appointed kitchen, the beautiful outdoor space (it’s the least amount of time our teens have been on their phones in forever!), plenty of beds, huge family table for meals, 4 kayaks/canoes, the game room… I could keep going! I normally review with a pro/con list about a property, but the only con we had was that had to go home after a truly amazing 5 nights! We think the key to success was having two cabins, so the teenagers could hang out when they needed a break from the parents! Side note, while we did not have any young children with us, the basement of the main cabin had all sorts of toys, life jackets, highchair, etc. for little kids.We cannot wait to come back next year!

Family Vacation

This property worked very well for our group of 12. The kids loved the game room! Nice dock to keep our water toys tied up to. Great smaller fishing lake and also great clean lake to swim in. The cabins had everything we needed to enjoy our stay. We would definitely book this cabin again.

Home was beautiful and spacious! Lots of activities, games, and entertainment. The beach area was clean and just a short walk from the deck. Kitchen was fully stocked with utensils and cooking items. Host was quick to answer questions. Only downside was the bathrooms were not super well stocked with toilet paper.

Great place to get away

We had a wonderful time. Plenty of space for our big group. Lots of options for seating inside or out. Hosts were responsive to messages. Already booked for next year. The only confusion we had is that we thought there was another bed in the small cabin with the bunk bed like it is in the big cabin but there were still plenty of sleeping spaces.
The slide was fun for the kids
Kids had a blast fishing off the dock
Beautiful view

Such a Beautiful Place

We're a group of high school friends and our spouses, we get together every summer for a lake weekend. This place was so clean and inviting. Every detail was taken care of, down to the sand on the beach was raked. It was such a wonderful place to stay! I wish there were more than 5 starts we could give them.

Fantastic Family Gathering for a Large Family

This property is fantastic. The location is great, the lake was quiet, clear, warm, and fun for all ages. The kids really enjoyed the lake, beach, yard, swings, play sets, and game room. The adults enjoyed the kayaks, paddle boat, and game room. The house and guest house are very nice. We had enough space for our large extended family and there are a lot of great gathering spaces. It is very kid friendly. This ranks at the top of the places we have stayed at with our family. We would love to stay as this property again.

End of Summer Vacation

We loved this house and cabin. The two houses were perfect for us with 7 bedrooms, space for everyone, many lake toys(we used them all). The wildlife, privacy and quiet of the lake were amazing. The house was clean and new and amenities were plentiful, with lots of toys for the kids. Kara was very responsive! Our kids and grandkids can’t wait to go back.
