Great Vacation Spot!

There were 4 of us that stayed here and we had the best time! If you are looking for an inexpensive place to stay with more bang for your buck, this is it! I agree with the other person who wrote a review in saying that an additional 1/2 bath would have been my only negative. This was by far the best house on the lake! We visited the Shawnee National Park and toured the Garden of the Gods....AMAZING! The marina had a very welcoming atmosphere as well. Everyone was just so nice.

We stayed at this property for 4 days. We rented a pontoon boat one of those days and saw the entire lake ( about 90 miles of shoreline) and this house is the most impressive by far. We noticed when hanging out in the pool at different times, that all the boaters passing by, thought so as well. The carriage house was enough room for the 5 of us, (two couples and a 15 year old on the pullout), but could have used an extra bathroom or 1/2 bath. We went to Giant City Lodge for dinner one of the night, don't miss this place for family style chicken dinners. Did a few winerys, which was fun too. But the most fun was hanging out at the in ground pool with some cocktails.

Well appointed, secluded property.

We had a great stay in the carriage house, using all the exterior facilities of the main house and the lake. We arranged our stay from England without any difficulty and found the owner very courteous. The bedrooms were a little smaller than we expected, but that did not detract too much from what was overall an excellent vacation experience.
Recommended for:Age 55+, romantic getaway, families with teenagers.
Wonderful Vacation!

The pictures do not do this house justice! We just returned from our week long vacation, and we didn't want to leave! This house is unbelieveable! From the fully equipped kitchen to the comfortable living areas, you will feel like you are right at home. The deck area is amazing. Our family spent the majority of our time either in the pool or enjoying the scenic view of the lake. We tried a couple of the wineries, and we especially loved Blue Sky. As for dining, we really enjoyed 17th St. Bar and Grill- the best barbecue ribs and chicken we've had! We had the privilege of meeting the owners, and they are so kind. Our 2 year old will tell you he met his best friend when he met one of the owners! Great vacation- we can't wait to return next year. Thanks for such a great vacation!
