We had a great time at this house. There were 12 of us, ranging from 2-70 and we found this house to be comfortable and accessible for everyone.
We had access to a semi-private sandy beach and swim area, which was awesome for the kids (and everyone). It's roped off and shallow with plenty of space for our entire group to sit by the water. There was a floating dock that we had fun jumping off, too. The beach area is a 5-minute walk from the house with a parking area - some days we'd load our chairs into the truck and transport them to the water. There is a staircase leading down to the beach.
We also had access to a dock for our boat, which was even closer to the house. This was very helpful. We had a 17' fishing boat, which was the perfect size for this lake. Be sure to check out the sandbar at the mouth of the cove, it's marked with "shallow water" buoys. We anchored there and played/swam on the sand bar - it was only a foot or two deep at the time we were there.
The outdoor area around the house was large and suited us well. The indoor space was also comfortable, awesome large room upstairs for playing pool and watching a movie if you choose. The loft bedroom is a steep ladder, great for 8+ but not easy for adults or little ones. Also, the staircase to the upstairs is open and was tough for our 2-year-old, FYI.
This is a beautiful lake and we had a wonderful time on this vacation. I hope we can come back again soon, I recommend this house and can't beat the price. Thank you, Kathy, for being accommodating and a great host.
