Fantastic Family Reunion

First time in 8 years we all got together and it was great. The house had enough bedrooms and bathrooms, very convenient to all the attractions and restaurants of the Lakes. The house was well equipped, clean, easy clean up, washer and dryer available. We had a wonderful experience and would return.

Extended Family Vacation

This was an absolutely perfect place to stay for our family vacation with 4 families! 8 adults and 7 kids and everyone was entertained. The kids enjoyed the fire pit and the kid friendly games in the shed and the adults had the perfect place to hang out on the deck. The ice cream shop a few steps away was definitely a plus as well. Great location to enjoy Arnold’s park, bridges bay, and local shops/farmers market on Saturday morning! We had a wonderful weekend and can’t recommend enough!

Best Host, bar none

Had an amazing time at this house. Mike is the most attentive host I've ever had. Quick to reply, friendly, and super accomodating. Great location for the house, right near the water and all the bars. If we ever make it back up, there will be no question where we stay. Thanks again to Mike for everything!

Good house, great hosts!

The updated house is perfect with everything we needed for our first family reunion. The location is within walking distance to restaurants, coffee shops, ice cream, all the amenities Arnold's Park has to offer. Ranging in ages from 13-75, there are spaces for everyone to be by themselves or all together for meals, card games, etc.. There are two sets of washer & dryer combos and everything else needed to make this feel like your own home. Mike is truly a super host!
