My friends and I stayed here for a weekend, and it was the perfect vacation home. There’s so much to do, especially if you enjoy being outdoors, and it’s only a short drive to nearby restaurants. We loved the hot tub and the pool table, and having TVs in each room was a great bonus. The hosts were very responsive, kind, and helpful throughout our stay. Some of us even went fishing, which made the trip even more fun. We would definitely stay here again!
This was a beautiful, clean property. The owners were prompt with communications, and quick to resolve anything. The house was as listed and in our opinion, better than the pictures. We had a very short stay but would love to return in warmer weather to enjoy all of the amenities of the community.
The overall experience was not very good. There were takeout bags under the bed in the room. There were also many spiders, and the hot tub water had not been cleaned or changed.

The guest said "we love this place" during their stay. They only gave us this review because we billed them for extra cleaning and damage after they left trash all over the house and yard. We recommend guests look at our other reviews for a more balanced picture.
Michael and Ashleigh were great hosts. Super friendly and very available and attentive. Our family of 14 came to celebrate the 30th birthday of our twins! The kids all went snow tubing and sledding and we enjoyed having a fire outside and just enjoying the fresh air!! Such a great time!! Can’t wait to come back!!
This house is great, tons of space for groups. Needs a deep cleaning and there is a lot of damage to areas. The air hockey table is not working and the soccer table needs a ball. Pool table has multiple sets of balls but not a complete set of solids and stripes. Fire pit was unusable and damaged. Lots of switches on walls that do not appear to actually work anything. Location is amazing! Will definitely book again but hope these issues are resolved.

Thanks for staying. The air hockey table is less than 2 months old, so we had the store that sold it send out a tech and they will be replacing the motor in it. This should happen within a week or so they said. I don't know why it failed so soon. Thanks for letting us know about the billiards and foosball balls - unfortunately, things do walk off. We have ordered replacements for both and they will be there in 2 days. The fire pit got smashed by the snow plow. We ordered a replacement and it was put in today.
The house was bug for my family. Game room was very entertaining for the kids, being on the lake was the most awesome weekend we did ice fishing. Kids sledded on the ice. We met lots of people. The host were always very responsive and getting back to us with questions that I had. The only negative I have to say is that the house is very dirty. It needs a thorough cleaning in all rooms. The oven was very dirty also
The house is great for families, very spacious and clean. Our family of 6 had a great time during our weekend stay. The game room kept kids occupied for hours. The playground and community beach are accessible right next door. We definitively recommend it.
The house is very nice and is perfect for large groups. The bedrooms were very nice and clean but the bedrooms and house needs better lighting. The kitchen could use some better drinking glasses and had no wine glasses or teaspoons. we were out most of the time but the air hockey table was broke so kids couldn’t play
This place was awesome! We enjoyed it with various friends, and the house had a lot to offer. There was a nice hot tub, fire pit, and plenty of things to do downstairs such as Billards, and air hockey. It was cool to see that they also had an old pay phone too to add to the ambiance. There was a power outage during our stay but Michael communicated swiftly about it. Thanks again!
House was great for our big family of 15. Plenty to do right at the house and having the community amenities (beach, basketball court, volleyball) a few steps away was perfect.
Big 7br house with great game room and everything you need. Closest property to the beach and playground. Kayaks for guest use. A couple things came up and owners responded immediately. Our three generation family had a terrific time.
Overall this place was great and the hosts were super quick to respond! Wish there were a few extra blankets and towels but that’s really the only thing I’d change. Super happy with the stay and would stay again!
Wonderful property! We had a great time at this home which was well-stocked and had great amenities. We enjoyed fishing directly from the property and visited the beach and park multiple times during our stay. The host was very responsive to questions. All in all a delightful experience! Thanks!
My frat went down for our first annual formal and it was a total blast, the house was perfect, the property owner was very quick in response time when we had questions, and it was very easy checking in. Would totally want to come back this house was amazing!
We ended up being evacuated from another vacation and found this listing after scouring the internet for somewhere to stay that could meet the size of our group. This house helped to salvage what was left of our trip! The owners were very quick to respond. There was some normal wear and tear on the house, but nothing that deterred us during our stay.
