This is a spectacular house; every attendee of our reunion thought it was great! Nine bathrooms! - this was a huge factor in our decision to rent this property. Also, the property management was very responsive before and during our stay and clearly wanted to ensure that we were happy. Highly recommend.

We stayed three nights with a group of 14 people ranging in age from 3 months to 90 years-old and everyone had an amazing time! The house has everything you could need and space for everyone to gather but also maintain privacy when needed. We loved the location on the quiet cove. It was perfect for the kids to swim and play in the water. Truly a weekend to remember!

The home is beautiful and the lake access with two docks in a quiet cove was perfect. We had 6 children under the age of 12 with us, and they loved swimming and fishing off the docks. There was plenty of room for all 16 of us to gather together or to find our own quiet spot. Beautiful property!
