Our family stayed for a week with 9 adults and 1 child, and we had an absolutely wonderful time! The house is definitely a home--a place you can walk into and find yourself at rest. I find the gathering space to be the most important for vacations, and the Keeler Lakehouse had a large enough kitchen for lots of hands to pitch in, and two huge tables so everyone was able to eat together and play games together. The loft upstairs offers another gathering space for games. The pictures don't show it, but there is another outdoor table now; it seats 8-10, so large groups can be accommodated outside for dinner together too.

The view of the lake from the house is wonderful. The yard between the house and beach is great for playing yard games. It's just a few steps beyond the grass and you are on the lovely beach. There's plenty of nicely groomed sand to spread out and everyone can do their thing. The only downside to this lake house is the bottom of the lake. If you are big swimmers, you won't like the deep muck and sea weed. We aren't swimmers, though, so we didn't mind too much. We raked out a section for our granddaughter to frolic in and all was good. The paddle-board, kayaks, and fishing boat were used all the time. Such a nice plus! All the life jackets are there too. You could always take the fishing boat out into the middle of the lake if you wanted to swim, I suppose.

The bedrooms were great! Nice bedding, furniture. Great bathrooms. The water from the tap isn't good, but the water dispensed from the fridge is fine. Laundry room is awesome. There's a ping pong table in the garage--so cool!

Other than groceries and beach towels, there's not much else needed to bring. The property manager Michelle is very helpful and kind.

We would HIGHLY recommend the home for your family to enjoy a memory-making week like ours. Many thanks to the owners for sharing their treasure with us for BronkBash ( our yearly family vacation).
