The place was perfect for 6 of us mid 70s golf buddies. Lots of room for everyone. Central to the 3 golf course we played, very quite neighborhood. Excellent for our needs
This property was fabulous for our large group. It has just as stated 6 bedrooms, 4 full bathrooms and 2 complete kitchens one on the main and one in the basement. Fabulous host who replies in a timely fashion.1 block over from Lakeshore Drive
Perfect home for a large family! Three floors,2 kitchens,4 bathrooms...pretty amazing. Host is very good with communication! Firepit in the backyard with firewood! We liked everything about this house! Only downside is that you can't walk to the beach! Otherwise it's a lovely property!!!!
What a wonderful property. Housed our dragon boat team with room to spare. Not waterfront but it was very clean. It was -38 and we were able to park a couple cars in the garage and 3 in the driveway. The host was amazing. Answered our questions quickly and make sure we had everything we needed. We may come back in the summer for a women’s weekend!! Too cold to use the fire pit on this trip lol.
Nice and big property for bigger groups of people. Good area as it is private but also close to downtown
