This house was a great place for our party of 8 with 4 sons ages 15-20. Plenty of room to spread out. The view of the lake and the walking trails were wonderful. Thanks for a fabulous few days.

Amazing, stunning location, beautiful house and property with everything we could need. A very comfortable and relaxing stay for our large family group. Thank you
The place was beautiful and the location was perfect. We just ended up with the worst luck and had no power at the house for little over 24 hours because the crazy weather they had so we had no hot water or electricity. Other than that the time before that was great!

Disliked: Communication
The views from the property are stunning, garden is lovely and kitchen good. A few minor things wrong which where communicated to the company but no response. It sleeps 15, but lounge, dining and outside can only cope with 8. TV room is rubbish and sofas uncomfortable and cheap, really needs a tv in lounge and master bedroom. However the views trump all of these issues
We loved staying at this house! The views from almost every room are incredible, we loved relaxing in the living room and eating at the dining table, all while being able to look out at the most amazing vistas. This house is very well-designed, we loved how there was a separate TV room where the kids can chill out and watch their shows, while the adults can stay in the main living room and enjoy the ambiance. The kitchen is wonderful. The bedrooms have high quality, comfortable mattresses and nice clean linens. Bath towels are plentiful and fresh. The landscaping at this property adds a special touch and elevates the stay. We loved the hot tub and being able to walk right out the back gate to the beach and walking path. We didn’t want to leave this house! We also really appreciated the cabinet full of kids toys, our daughter was thrilled. We stayed with just my husband, myself, and my daughter, but this house would be so fun to fill with a big group!

What a fantastic review, Alexandra! It’s wonderful to hear that you and your family had such an incredible stay. The breathtaking views, well-thought-out design, and thoughtful touches like the separate TV room and stocked toy cabinet really do make this home special. We're so pleased that the comfort, amenities, and direct beach access made your visit so memorable. It sounds like a perfect getaway, whether for a small family or a larger group. We’d love to welcome you back for another stay in the future - perhaps with more friends/family!
