Thank you for allowing us the use of your beautiful home. We rented the home to have an extended family vacation. There were 10 adults and 6 children ranging from 14 months to 75 years old. The home lived up to its expectations and more. Each bedroom was unique and comfortable and there was plenty of room throughout the home. There was never the feeling of being crowded due to the many rooms and spaciousness. There were many surprises that we had not anticipated. This included the well-stocked kitchen that not only had every pot/pan/utensil needed for cooking, but every possible spice as well as other cooking supplements needed. These came in handy as we sat together at the large dining room table for home-cooked breakfasts & dinners every day. Additionally, the playroom for the children included numerous toys that kept the children entertained and busy. The outdoor deck was spacious and well-appointed which allowed for relaxation and the view from the deck was only surpassed by the view from the private beach on the lake. The private beach on the lake cannot be discounted. We spent whole days just relaxing on the beach. The children loved playing in the sand and the lake. The lake was warm and shallow, so any fears about having the children playing by the lake were put to ease (though there are life jackets provided as well). There were loungers, chairs and umbrellas provided that gave a resort-like feel. The paddle boat and canoe were put to good use too. As for the stairs, yes there are many, but we looked at them as our exercise for the day :) Overall, this vacation was memorable. The children still talk about it and ask when we can go back and my mother was able to spend a week with 5 of her grandchildren thanks to the special place we shared for the week.
