We had a large group (12 adults and 12 kids - all under 6). Plenty of space and things to do for everyone. We stayed on the property the whole time (except for some kayak rides) and didn’t feel trapped or cramped at all. The water and sky were different every day and beautiful. We saw two rainbows and regularly woke up to see the sunrises. The evening skies were incredible. The great room is massive and where we spent a lot of our time and ate all of our meals; it held us all comfortably with a lot of extra space. We enjoyed the fire pit in the sand, the sand volleyball court, the large beachfront, the main deck, the two refrigerators, the flattop grill, and all the games and books. John was an excellent host, fielding our questions quickly and even making sure there was enough at the place for the kids. A couple of the days, the water and sky had more of a Florida/Hawaii feel than a Midwest feel. For our stay, the water was ice cold and the biting flies were everywhere, but neither of those things made anyone say they wouldn’t want to go back. That’s how much we enjoyed everything else. We ate in all but one night and got pizza at Jozwiak’s Bar & Grill that night. Highly recommended. Some of us are foodies with a love for Chicago pizza, and it measures up. About 20 min from the place on your way in, but worth the drive (if you don’t catch it on the way). Several of us expressed a desire to come back (even though it’s quite a trip from where a lot of us live), and some even expressed an interest in buying the place (not that it’s for sale!). Just shows how good of a time we had there. It’s wonderful.
