We had such a great time at the house. We are a family of 17; 10 adults and 7 kids ranging from 6 months to 10 years old and the house fit us all perfectly. We loved the open space of the living room, kitchen and dining room that lets everyone feel included in all the activities going on. The fully stocked kitchen with all its supplies and more than enough dishes to accommodate all of us including the little kids was a big plus. The game room was a hit with everyone as well as the outside property and surrounding area with plenty to explore and 2 separate fire pits to enjoy along with the grill. The house is in a great location close to the lake and other activities and we felt the privacy it gave us, to be nestled among the tall trees. We couldn’t have picked a better place for our family gathering and hope to return again sometime. Thank you!

Wonderful stay -- the house is spacious, the upstairs bunk room and the game room were perfect for the kids. The kitchen had plenty of dishware for a crowd and the hosts were communicative and welcoming.

Accommodations were excellent. House was very clean and well stocked with kitchen supplies. Kids thoroughly enjoyed the game room, as well as, the large private bedroom above the garage where they could hang.
Cons: Some type of shading while sitting on the patio would have been nice. There is only an umbrella for shading attached to the patio dining set. Also, some guests had an issue with hot water for showers.
Otherwise, our stay was fantastic. Would definitely stay there again.
We had a great stay over the 4th of July holiday! We were a group of 6 adults and 8 kids and there was plenty of space for all without feeling crowded. The kids really loved the upstairs bunk room, garage game room and exploring the property and surrounding area. The kitchen was clean and well stocked with items for cooking. The living room had an extra large sectional plus a couple other seating options that easily accommodated our large group. There was no burn ban when we stayed so we were able to have a fire in the outdoor fire pit and the kids all loved roasting marshmallows. There was a large grass area out back for the kids to play baseball and football. They also loved riding bikes around the house and the surrounding road. The hot tub was also a big hit!
