  • The house was perfect for our Rehersal Dinner. We prepared all the food there for about 65 people and with the porch and large lawn there was plenty of room. We stayed for a full week and enjoyed the quiet beauty of the lake house.

  • We just had a family reunion at the Lake House B&B for 16 people. We had a fantastic time - beautiful home, the porch is excellent for spending time in a quiet atmosphere and the large yard is great for games. Would recommend renting both the Lake House and Cottage for large groups as they have very different flavors that compliment each other - one rustic adventure with a view, the other casual elegance. Highly recommended.
