Great family getaway spot!

We stayed here with a big group of family/friends (4 couples and 12 kids ages 4 - 14) and had room for everyone plus plenty of activities to keep all of the kids entertained for a long weekend. The pool was a big hit and the lake is perfect for paddle boarding and kayaking + a great scenic view!

Great family vacation

Great time had by all. Lots of yard for kids to play. Large driveway for cars or kids to ride scooters on. Kitchen and eating area had lots of room for all 14 of us to eat together. No problem with sleeping areas, plenty of beds. Pool was a huge hit, lots of time spent at the lake fishing.

Overall Peaceful

The home was beautiful and very peaceful. Being able to jump in the lake was relaxing. The pool was not open yet so I wish that we had booked later in the summer as it opens Memorial Day. Host was very responsive, had some trouble getting in to the home at first but the host worked hard and fixed the problem and created a lovely stay for all 14 of us. Would stay here again.

Wonderful for large groups.

This house is perfect for our group of 12 women aged 70+. We loved all the hiking trails nearby and sitting by the fire pit in the evening. The mattresses were the only issue because they are very thin for the beds. The host is easy to get ahold of and responded to any problems we encountered. We can’t wait to return!

Wonderful Cottage For Extended Family Get-Togethers

Our planned Christmas get-together just wrapped up and we thoroughly enjoyed our time at this "Christmas" cottage!! Plenty of room for all 4 families for sleeping, playing, eating, playing games, making crafts, and a nice location for getting outside for fun times there too. We enjoyed the use of an extra refrigerator, and for the garage as an extra indoor play area. The caretakers of the house were very friendly and helpful with any house concerns that we had. Thank you for allowing us to use your Christmas cottage for the special time we had there to make memories for our whole family!!!

Awesome spot for large group

The house was as advertised, and perfect for large groups. The property and surrounding area is beautiful. Our group of ice fishermen did well on McCollum Lake, be ready to move to locate the fish, but there is quite a variety of fish for an inland lake. Walleye, Perch, Bluegill, Crappie, Sunfish and Pike were all caught. The locals on the lake were very friendly. Our group has been renting properties for fishing trips for years, and I am confident in saying this home offers some of the best perks (Numerous beds, plenty of space, plenty of parking, beautiful area, good fishing). Would definitely recommend to anyone looking for a peaceful getaway, especially for those who need room for a large group.

Plenty of beds for everyone! No futons or couches needed to sleep. Built on beautiful, large, secluded property. No neighbors to worry about all the noise from the pool which everyone enjoyed frequently. Spacious dining tables which were great for family games after dark.Two minor things that need attending to. One table bench was wobbly, appears to be cracked. The kitchen trash frame is loose from it's frame which made opening and closing it difficult. We ultimately put the trash bin at the end of the counter instead of under it out of sight.This is a remote property so a trip to a grocery store or looking for a forgotten bathing suit is a bit of a drive.We were a family of 14 and it worked well for us. We had a great time!

Family getaway

This property has it all. Beautiful lake, inground pool and lots of room to play. We took out the kayaks, took walks, played cornhole in the driveway, played in the pool and stayed indoors for game time. There were enough beds and baths for all to be comfortable and table space for everyone to eat together. The kitchen was fully stocked with dishes, pots and pans to do all of our meals in house. Our host answered questions quickly and took care of any needs we had efficiently. We can’t wait to come back again

BEAUTIFUL

A serene property, plenty of room to spread out for bigger groups, quiet lake with kind neighbors and kayaks that I highly recommend, house was clean, kitchen was stocked, beds were plenty comfy, movie theater, what more can I say? I will be recommending this place to friends and family. The only down side was the lack of grocery stores close by, but the gas station in town has plenty of essentials and the owner did a great job of warning us ahead of time and providing information on the closest stores, so we were easily able to plan around this, and it was not a problem.

Girls Getaway

We had 14 ladies in our group. Loved pulling up to the house and seeing the beautiful fall color of the leaves. The house sits up on the lake. There's a nice walking path around the property. The house is plenty big with 14 of us, we never felt as if we were on top of each other. We did have a few ladies enjoy the kayaks that were provided. The kitchen set up is perfect for a large group. There was room for even more people. We would defiantly like to comeback and enjoy the pool. The Fairview Family Restaurant has the BEST apple fritters.

Large family winter vaca

We had an absolute wonderful time! There is SO much space it was perfect for 17 of us. Tons of kitchen tools to use. I didnt even find them all until the last day. Kids (teenagers and young adults) had a blast sledding (sleds were found in garage) down the hill out back and down the driveway. Large garage (3 car) for letting all their winter toys dry off. The only bad thing was that the ceiling leaked in the basement (between the 2 bunkbeds) from the main bathroom (shower) on the main floor. That caused us to not use that shower but there were 2 other showers to use so that wasnt a problem. (That is the only reason i gave an overall rating of 4 stars.) I contacted the owner about it and he was responsive. We would DEFINITELY come back and would even consider renting in the summer as there are lots of summer activities that you could take advantage of. 100% recommend this home for large family/friend gatherings!
