Great place for family gathering!
Four generations of our family came together for a lovely weekend of fishing, canoeing, card playing, and fun. Accommodations were perfect!
The rental was true to its description and the friendly host was exceptional with information. Beautiful vacation spot.

This house is perfect for a group of 8-10 people. There is enough space and amenities for everyone to be comfortable. Our group esp likes the access to the water (fishing and kayaking), the ability to go for walks "in the woods", and the well outfitted kitchen.

Wonderful retreat for our family!
Our family enjoyed a relaxing weekend at a beautiful home! The movie theater was perfect for some downtime but still being together as a family.
Beautiful clean home. Minimal view of water from home. Bottom of stairs to dock a bit treacherous. Dining room lighting could be improved. All very minor notations for improvement. Overall, quite satisfied.
