Perfect for Large Group
Recently booked for my niece’s bachelorette party. Plenty of space for lounging and sleeping. Having 4 bathrooms on the property made it amazing for 10 women getting ready for our day of winery tours! The area is absolutely gorgeous! Highly recommend!!

Lovely lake house.
This is a lovely property. The host goes above and beyond to make the stay fun and comfortable. The property does sleep 15 people however 15 adults is tight. 11 adults is more comfortable. The towels are soft and plush. The blackstone grill is a bonus! The kitchen has everything you need however is small with minimal counter space. Over all we loved it. 😃
