Beautiful home and great for a large group. Very clean and well accommodated. Only complaints really are that the queens beds are very firm and uncomfortable and the couch was not the best but overall the house was great and we had a great time there! Hot tub was a plus, backyard was great and we had plenty of space for all of us. Views of the lake are gorgeous. My girls loved all the games and the game room.

Perfect place for a family lake vacation! The view was stunning, the beach area and dock were perfect and worked well with our rented pontoon boat. The yard made it a great place for our grand puppy to enjoy too! We had everything we needed and the space to be together and spread out a bit too for our family of 5 adults and a golden retriever. The game room and hot tub were nice fun additions! Our favorite place was the sunroom with its beautiful panoramic views of the lake. Highly recommend.

Enjoyed our mini family reunion on the lake! The house was spacious for our group, and the hot tub was ready when we got there! Check in was easy and property management checked in and was easy to contact throughout the week. Mid-week the hot tub chemicals were off, and the host was able to come out to remediate within 24 hours! Thank you!We would recommend extra paper towels - with no kitchen towels we quickly went through the provided rolls.

What a great place! Stayed there with several friends and really enjoyed it. We were met with a gorgeous rainbow over the Lake when we first arrived! The huge sunroom overlooking the lake was our favorite hang-out spot for morning coffee and afternoon reading. Tons of room - 4 bedrooms including an enormous master suite, large kitchen, dinning room and living room And a fun game room with a ping-pong table and a pool table! It was a little late in the season for a dip in the lake, but the dock would have been perfect for swimming or boating in warmer weather. One thing to note: it's in a rural area with no stores or restaurants near by, so be sure to plan ahead to bring food or plan a 20-minute drive for food or shopping.

We’re so glad your group enjoyed the spacious home, game room, and especially that beautiful sunroom overlooking the water. We also appreciate your helpful note about planning ahead for the rural location. We hope to welcome you back—perhaps for a warmer-weather stay so you can enjoy the lake and dock, too!

Very nice place to stay. Could use some updating. Plenty of room for a large group. We had 6 adults and 4 kids under the age of 8. There was a lot of board games to play and a game room with a pool table, ping pong and darts. Not the best but usable.

Beautiful property with full kitchen and plenty of room. Hottub was nice and most rooms had fireplaces as well. The house is across the street from the lake. Not right on the water but still had a beautiful view. You may want to pack extra towels, paper towels and hand soap because the ones given were minimal.
