The house was spacious enough for our party of ten. The kids enjoyed fishing and swimming off the dock, playing at the beach next door and at the playground across the street. The games and toys in the family room were an added bonus.The host provides a lot of extras like spices, coffee, etc. that were enjoyed by our group. The lake views are gorgeous and very relaxing. Everyone in our party, from grandparents to grandkids, had a wonderful time.

It was a very restful visit. The property was clean and the location was great. Plenty of room to spread out and the neighborhood was quiet. The property has a very nice dock which provided both a scenic view for sitting as well as providing a good fishing location. All in all, a great stay!

The house was amazing. Plenty of room for our group if eight. Nice little touches like a Keurig with a wide assortment of coffe and hot chocolate flavors. Cozy soft blankets available in the large family room to snuggle in. Large windows that gave you great views of the lake. Hosts that were good communicators.

Relaxation

The house was as advertised. It was clean, spacious, and located in a nice neighborhood. The location had nice access to main roads. The fishing from the dock provided action from bluegill and largemouth bass. Overall, a very relaxing and nice stay and we'll be back!

Great Lake House for Large Group

The house was in a perfect location, right on the lake, and had everything my group of friends needed for a comfortable stay. The well water had a pretty strong metallic smell in the showers but I think that's to be expected in the area. Communication with the owner was great. Would definitely stay here again.

Fun house with all the amenities

My family and I had a wonderful stay at the house! The water amenities - the kayaks and the stand up paddle boards were so much fun! The extra large patio with the fire pit were beautiful and we made a fire in the fire pit every night. The house was big, with 2 family rooms and a pool table which we played on everyday. The kitchen was well appointed. We hope to return there in the future!

Perfect Vacation Home

Stayed on this beautiful piece of property in July 2024. The nicest vacation property that I have rented in 35 years! Beautiful and well-designed home on a beautiful lake. The home has more amenities than most including kayaks, paddle boards, nice gas grill, fire pit and very large stone patio. The views of the water are amazing!!! Fishing was great and caught my biggest walleye. I will be returning next year!
