Our family of 9 (7 adults and a 10 and 6 year old) had a wonderful 4 night stay at Holton Beach Retreat. The property is all about lake and sky. We took a rented boat fishing, to wineries, parks, and had a blast tubing in the 650 water. We hiked gorges, ate meals on the patio and at the huge dining room table, played our lawn games, kayaked, jumped off the dock and swim platform, and skipped an endless supply of stones. The kids especially loved the freedom of the water.Nearly every room faces the water. Four bedrooms and two baths up plus a bedroom and bathroom on the first floor were ideal. The beds were comfortable, the house was clean, and well stocked, especially the kitchen. Jugs of drinking water, a working grill, and kayaks/canoe with paddles were appreciated. We didn’t find the life jackets in the master BR closet until we packed to leave, but the kids had brought their own. The TV and Internet worked fine.Holly’s communication was great and driving directions were precise. The 70 steps up to our parking area were not a problem but we were grateful to be able to load/unload our cars at lake level next door.A few suggestions to consider bringing: kids life jackets that fit, a small grill scraper (we didn’t use the metal brush), water shoes to protect from sharp zebra mussels, and eye shades if you don’t rise and shine very early.Thank you Holly for sharing your fun house in such a beautiful area.
