  What a beautiful, outstanding home and property! The pictures on-line were beautiful but being there was even nicer. You couldn't ask for a better setting for summer fun. Great for our group of several couples and a few kids. Great lake for swimming and we fished off the dock. We caught so many fish our daughter's shoulder hurt from casting. A fish with every cast. Sunset pontoon cruise to see the eagles. The home had everything we needed and more. Everything has been thought out. The kitchen is a chef's dream. Great spaces to gather and plenty of privacy if you want it. We'll be back.

  Our family rented this house in August (last week). It was FANTASTIC !!! The house is even better than the pictures show. It has excellent furnishings. Wildlife was wonderful. Deer with fawns walked through the yard each day (next door neighbor has a deer feeder). Bald eagle has a nest on the tree by the patio. Other bald eagles are on the lake. We had many eagle sightings every day. We saw otters feeding in the lake (even heard them crunching on fish they caught). We saw and heard loons and ducks every day. Also saw a red fox. Great area for bike rides and walks. Fishing for us was OK (granted, it was August and I am not a great fisherman). Panfish were easy to catch. Walleye fishing was tough. We saw a guy lose a musky at his boat (very nice size musky). Gentle sloped paths to the lake and pier. Lake is modest size (300 acres) but minimal power boat traffic except for fishing boats so atmosphere was very relaxing. House has substantial waterfrontage so we did not see the neighboring houses (excellent privacy). We felt we received excellent value for the rental cost. Owners were nice to work with from beginning to end. Owners obviously take great pride in the house. I am not affiliated with the owner so this review is really the truth.

  My family stayed for four nights at this amazing vacation home and had a wonderful time. We were a varied group, 3 little ones under the age of four and 5 adults. There was plenty of space and lots of things to do to keep everyone happy. We rented the pontoon boat here, and that was perfect way to enjoy the peaceful lake. Some of us fished off the pier and were quite successful! The little kids enjoyed exploring the peninsula, splashing around in the lake, watching movies and playing in the rec room, and of course they all were in awe of the glass block stairs! The kitchen was well stocked with everything we needed and the views from every room of the house were breathtaking. The owners were very flexible and available when we had questions. We will definitely be back!

  This home is a wonderful place to stay. We always like to stay somewhere nicer than our own home and this home delivers! Our stay was so fabulous, that we found it hard to leave. The lake has excellent fishing and this home has the best location on Lake Pickerel. We saw all kinds of wild life but the bald eagles that nest by this home are unbelievable and so amazing to see.

  Owner response: Dear Lori and family, thank you for being such gracious guests. I grew up in a small hotel (Pension) in Germany , where guests would stay with us for 4 + weeks. It is so wonderful that I am able to have guests like you, although I am an absentee host.
