Place was nice and had a lot of things/games but I felt like I had to walk on egg shells as things had to put exactly the right spot or accidentally opening the wrong door or not having all the flying chickens accounted for

Thank you for your feedback. Our home was originally built for large family gatherings, and the labeled storage throughout was designed to make navigating an amenity-rich property feel easy and intuitive — not restrictive. The labels in the kids cove specifically were created so even the youngest guests could help clean up independently, not to police adults. We never want guests to feel anything other than completely at home. We've taken your feedback to heart and are always looking for ways to make the experience feel more relaxed and welcoming. We hope you enjoyed the rest of your stay and wish you well.

We had an absolutely fantastic stay at this property for our family gathering! The house was exactly what we needed — spacious, comfortable, and somehow still big enough for everyone to spread out without hearing every single family discussion from across the house. That alone deserves 5 stars.The layout worked perfectly for our group, with plenty of room to relax, visit, and enjoy time together. Everything was clean, well-maintained, and very welcoming.I can't say enough good about our host. She is incredibly responsive and easy to work with. Any questions we had were answered quickly, although thankfully we didn’t need much because everything was so well prepared.  The labeled areas for where things needed to go helped with the kids taking care of their things so we didn't have to focus as much on keeping track of the kids and we could relax and spend time together. We hope we can stay longer next time. This would be a great property for about any gathering - from family reunion, to bridal party, to team retreat for a business. I could totally see myself renting this for a catered company dinner in the future! Overall, this amazing venue helped make our family trip memorable for all the right reasons. We’d absolutely stay here again — assuming we can coordinate everyone’s schedules and survive another group text chain.

About the host

Hosted by Amy

Host profile image
We lost our amazing Matriarch a few years back to cancer but in an effort to restore family connection after her untimely loss, we created a family connection experience. We’re a homeschool family who values time together and making space for real multigenerational connection. We love VOLLEYBALL and love spending our time outdoors—boating at the nearby lake, national parks, playing pickleball and yard games, and gathering around big meals with family and friends. We love active experiences with our loved ones. We create homes where respectful large gatherings can become both comfortable, convenient, fun, and most importantly memorable. We LOVE to unite our family and even friends from all over the world. Our homes are built and used regularly for our family and friends, and we share them with you.

Why they chose this property

Neighborhood is clean, and safe. We bought this home to bring our own family together. Siblings each have a master bedroom, kids share a bunk room, and cousins fill the yard with games like pickleball and cornhole while boating at the lake just 10 minutes away. Meals are meant to be shared, laughter spills outside, and the layout gives everyone space to relax while still being together. From our family to yours, we are grateful to share this space so more families have the chance to create memories that last a lifetime. This home was built to nurture connection, play, and the simple joy of being together—just as it does for our family.

What makes this property unique

What makes this home stand out is how intentionally it was designed for people to be together and how well it flows for large groups and multiple uses. This home is a new build with high end finishes and we are adding to it all the time.

With 8 bedrooms including 2 king master suites, + 2 more queen only rooms + 6 more queen beds, a kids cove with 8+ beds, 4 bathrooms + 2 powder rooms, over 20 beds, dining hall/ multi purpose room, multiple game rooms, 5 gathering zones and many amenities and add-ons that transform your stay into a memorable experience and lifetime memories. The home supports real connection with room and tools for family meals together and also space for privacy. The new kids cove has bunk beds with game rooms, club houses, toys, and more entertainment, and games for all ages. The Amenities include Pickle ball court (in the neighborhood), Surrey bike, croquet, king of the hill, stair slide, corn hole, axe throwing, basketball, fort building kits, team games, skee-ball, life size games, board games, card games, extra tables and chairs for outdoor dining. One unique highlight is the kid friendly flex space in the insulated garage newly painted. Its another game/ activity room or easy to clean dining hall for large groups.

With nearby boating, national parks, and a beautiful city you will enjoy your stay. Guests say the home "is full of beautiful finishes, and holds large groups well", It's tested first by our own family and then shared with yours. We are constantly adding new activities and so this is not complete list.

We offer optional nightly rentals like bounce houses, grills, lake toys, canoes, projectors , popcorn machines, 20' movie screens, and life size balloon snow globes. We also offer affordable limo rides, massages and decoration packages for unforgettable experiences. 9 square, hot tub, built in bunks coming next!!
