Great Place for Family Vacation

Review Submitted: 06/29/11
We had a wonderful time when we stayed here in the summer of 2008. The house had plenty of room for our large family (7 adults and 4 children). The best part was each family were able to have their own space but still have plenty of room to come together in the main gathering area. We have rented other lake front cottages before, but this by far was our favorite. The cottage was beautiful, clean, and well cared for. I would recommend staying here no question.
Recommended for:Families with young children, families with teenagers.

I wanted to drop you a quick note to thank you for allowing us to use your beautiful lake home last week. We had a great time and truly enjoyed all aspects of the area (I think we set a family record for most Muffin Tin Muffins consumed in 1 week!). Your place is perfect for our family and we are thankful that people like you are willing to allow us to rent such a fantastic lake home. The home should have been exactly as we found it – beautiful and spotless – when we left on Saturday. We are hoping to be able to come back again next year, please let me know when you make decisions about taking reservations for 2010. Thank you again,
