What a wonderful place for our family gathering!! The view of the lake as soon as you walk through the front door was awesome! Lots of bedrooms! The kitchen is so well stocked and we didn’t have any shortage of utensils and pans while cooking! The solarium was so cool. You could sit comfortably (and temperature controlled), yet it felt like you were right on the lake! The older members of our group really loved this! The fire pit and hot tub were also a hit! Jim was wonderful to work with. He was very welcoming and prompt in his communication. Thank you Jim!

Lovely, comfortable, and clean. Kitchen is well stocked with dishware, glasses, pots, pans, and utensils. A great fit for our family of 5 adults, 2 children, and 1 dog. Large yard front and back. Long pier from which to tie up a boat. The community launch is approximately 15 minutes by boat and 10 minutes by car. There are many area restaurants accessible by boat and car. Quiet neighborhood. There is a very enjoyable sunroom/solarium. The host/owner is accommodating and very nice. A wonderful place to stay. Highly recommend.

What an outstanding vacation we enjoyed with our four grandchildren ages 9-15 at this wonderful lake home on a beautiful lake. Jimmy was a most accommodating host from the time we booked our stay until the day we departed. The home was beautifully furnished with everything we needed. The bedrooms were comfortable with plenty of room for personal space. The kids spent many hours tubing on the lake from the pontoon boat we rented and docked at the lake house. The entire family spent time playing on the Wii and enjoying several games of chess. There were games of plenty. Jimmy's recommendations were excellent from where to eat to where to rent the pontoon boat. We made a couple of inquiries during our stay and Jimmy immediately responded. I highly recommend this property for family get togethers. Thank you, Jimmy, for offering this wonderful property to our family. We will have many memories

great house by the lake

House was great with large front and back yard. Two Master suites was perfect for our group. We had 11 in our group (3 of those kids) and we had plenty of space and bathrooms. Jim provided kayaks, a paddle board and floats which where all used. We had a great time!

great home, great host

The home was gorgeous with great views and was perfect for our family. Jim was the perfect host, available if we had any issues, and always willing to help with suggestions for dinner, boat rental, etc. The lake is huge, great for pontoon rides and tubing with several bars and restaurants reachable by boat, but not a great swimming lake. There is a nice sand beach on nearby Lake Ripley that the young ones loved. All in all a great vacation

Great house for a family get together

We spent a fun and relaxing long weekend on the lake. Spacious property for the kids to play, with easy lake access. Jim stopped by to give us tour of the property and explain how everything works. We had a group of 8 and there was plenty of space to hang out, cook, and converse. Enjoyed using the kayaks and relaxing by the fire pit at night (wood provided). Highly recommend. Jim is great host.

Great Place on the Lake

One of the best houses that we've stayed at. Jim had the house fully stocked and checked in with us to make sure our stay was good. You could open up a cabinet and find anything you needed. The pictures do not do the house or the property justice. It's way nicer. The neighborhood is quiet and in a great location. Lake access on the property. We had fun kayaking, canoeing, and paddle boarding. We would stay here again.

Great place for family gathering

We had a great stay at this location. We did a long weekend family gathering where this was centrally located for families coming from different states. We were looking to just relax and spend time as a family, and the location and house were perfect. The house and amenities were as described (you really don't need to bring anything for cooking in the kitchen!). The weather was a bit cold for going out on the lake, but the hot tub was great and got lots of use during out stay. Jim was great with communication, check in and check out, and checking in on the hot tub daily. Highly recommend!

Long Weekend Trip

The home was clean and spacious. It comfortably fit our nine person group. It was very well stocked and had all the kitchen and outdoor equipment that we needed. The homeowner gave a good check-in and check-out process and was very responsive leading up to the trip. He lives nearby and came over quickly when asked. The neighborhood is quiet and residential. There is a restaurant one block away that had a delicious fish fry.

Great family vacation

We had an amazing time here. Even though the weather wasn’t great, the sun room and hot tub let us still enjoy the outdoors. The house is beautiful and stocked with everything you could need. The lake was nice and shallow with a sandy bottom so the kids are ere able to play in the water while the parents went jet skiing around! The only negative We found is that the dock is very narrow. If a wider area at the end could be installed so everyone could sit and enjoy the water without being in it, that would have been much better. Overall, we had a great trip and the house was a huge part of that.

Great place - Great service!

We just finished renting this home for the last week and had a wonderful stay! The house is beautiful - especially the sun room! We had a hard time leaving the place. The owner, Jim, made you feel totally at home and provided a lot of extras such as spices, oils, aluminum foil and soaps in the kitchen - along with extra toothpaste, toothbrushes, shampoo, etc. in the bathrooms. There were plenty of towels & bedding, including beach towels. Unlimited firewood was provided, along with outdoor game equipment such as volleyball, badmitton, golf clubs & fishing poles. Jim was available at any time to answer any question or to help when needed. We would highly recommend this property to anyone looking for a great place to stay!

Great Views

My family just returned from spending six nights at Jim’s house. We had a fantastic time! It was relaxing, and the property is spacious. When renting this place, keep in mind this is someone’s home and not a generic/basic rental. There are a lot of personal mementos and I am sure each one has a story. This property has to be the best stocked house I have ever rented. Everything you need is here. The assortment of games, the kayaks, the kitchen; all have been well thought out and in place for the renter’s convenience. One last thing- the pictures do not do this property justice! It is so much nicer and brighter than you would imagine.

Friends and Family and Water Fun

The house was spacious, and truly has almost anything you could think of needing. Lots of lifejackets and lake toys/tubes. He even suggested activities on rainy days based on the kids ages. He was easily reachable by text, and when he stopped by to check the hot tub balance he always checked in to see if we needed anything. Due to the high water level on the lake, when a storm rolled through, at no cost to us, he found a more sheltered dock for us to park our rented pontoon at to keep the boat safe. Plus we had a yummy dinner at the restaurant/pub as well. The hot tub was a fun add on for the kids and adults alike, the kids liked the color changing lights. The campground at the southeast corner of the lake, or the DNR at Rt 26 are both easy locations to get boats or jet skis in and out of the water. They are a 15ish minute drive, and I'd imagine in regular water levels between 15-30 via water. Thanks for the fun week!

Incredibly stocked house!

Our two daughters and their families stayed at the property for 5 nights. There's no "beach" per se but the 4 kids made great use of the floaties, the kayak and the paddle board that were provided (all in great condition.) The kids are mostly preteens with not much swimming experience so the very shallow water off the end of the pier more made up for no beach. The bottom is firm. Kitchen was great, very well-stocked including spices, oils and flour/sugar. Even some K-cups. Stuff like foil & baggies were also there. Double set of pots & pans and plenty of dishes. We all brought some firewood and, of course, Jim (the owner) had a big pile of it! Kids took advantage of the board games and we did a couple of puzzles. Jim recommended The Outpost for dinner, maybe 2 blocks from the house. Wish we had tried it earlier (tho it's closed M and T) but food was fresh and delicious and very reasonable.

First our host was very responsive and communicated relevant information in a timely manner. We thoroughly enjoyed holding our annual sibling reunion at this VRBO home. We enjoyed: the beautiful room decor with a variety of themes; morning coffee in the sunroom as we watched the sunrise; the firewood for bonfires in the evening; the large kitchen table for sharing meals and games; the hot tub for relaxing; the piano and ukulele for family sing alongs; and being able to charge our electric vehicle on site. All in all a terrific week for reconnecting with siblings.

Perfect Reunion Spot

We held our family reunion at the house. There was plenty of space for everyone and with the multiple sitting rooms there we were able to visit in small groups. The amenities were outstanding! The kitchen is truly a place a master chef would kill for. The sunroom has an amazing view of the lake. The musical instruments were a hit! The kids loved the playroom, we adults enjoyed the hot tub and exercise room, and everyone enjoyed the lake. Jim provided everything we needed, including toiletries that we had forgotten. He is an amazing host, so friendly and helpful. It was the best VRBO I've stayed at and I've stayed at places all over.

About the host

Host profile image
I have been involved in Property Management, Hospitality Management and Real Estate all my life....if you stay at this gorgeous property you will not be disappointed.......I can not control the weather during your stay but I can and will try my hardest to make sure everything else is perfect! Please read my reviews - they will tell you a lot about the property and the type of host I am. I am proud of all my 5 star reviews! I do not believe in "Nickeling and Diming" people with a lot of fees.....for example the house is Professionally cleaned prior to each rental period. This is included in the fee you pay - not tacked on as a "Cleaning Fee". Why should Cleaning Be extra? You are paying for a clean house and from my reviews you can see you will be getting a very clean house. I appreciate the fact that my house has been the backdrop for wonderful family and friends occasions......from Birthdays to Anniversaries to Reunions.....some wonderful memories have been made at the house and that makes me so happy.

Why they chose this property

Definitely not your average rental......the past guests just love the house! Peaceful, quiet but yet plenty to do.......makes for a great vacation! Please read my reviews - I really take pride in providing this awesome property for all the families and friends to enjoy!

What makes this property unique

There is nothing like sitting in the Solarium with your favorite beverage and taking in the awesome lake views!....Wait...sitting on the pier in the early evening is so awesome too!
