Jessica has done a nice job making the house feel like home with interesting decor mixed in with all the conveniences. Having a washer/dryer is a plus. The bunk house is an air-conditioned, neat retreat and sleeps five comfortably. And if the weather isn't the best, the rec room in the out building offers plenty of entertainment for the whole family. We had fun playing ping-pong and darts. For the little kids there are trikes and space to ride inside.
There were lots of water toys and life jackets in the boathouse and all of us "kids" gave it a go at paddle boarding. You might wish to ask if you want to use the paddle boat as it would be difficult to get out and into the water. We enjoyed s'mores around the fire pit and listening to the loons.
It was nice to have our own dock as we had rented a pontoon from Bremmer Water Crafts. We also fed little sunfish and caught some bigger fish off the dock. We had great luck fishing in this lake out in the boat and caught pan fish, bass, and some really big northerns.
The cabin does have a few draw backs though. The air conditioner is a wall unit in the master bedroom. To get the house cooled, fans are used to draw out the air. It works just ok and the loft can get a bit stuffy. If the weather is cooler there is good air flow through the cabin. Not much seating is available in the living area and what is there is more decorative and interesting than comfortable. There are a lot of steps from the deck to the lake, some without hand rails as shown in the pictures. Think twice about this if your are bringing anyone elderly along. One major concern that I had was the access into the lake and also onto the dock. The footing is uneven, wet, and dangerous.
Last, but not least - watch out for killer acorns! We were all amused by them falling at will. Overall, our stay was wonderful and fun for all ages.
