I had a tall order to find a location with room for 6 couples/families for a weekend getaway with friends. This place exceeded our expectations! Tons of room to gather together and to spread out when people wanted some quiet time. I've never seen a Vrbo with a better stocked kitchen, and the arcade games were a fun touch. Michele & her team were very responsive through the whole process. We hope to come back!
Great place for 12 college buddies on a golf weekend. Plenty of space both indoor/outdoor for all to gather for dinner and sit around/visit - thanks Michelle!
We highly recommend this location for families especially with kids. It has everything we needed - highlights a nice quiet lake, beautiful dock for fishing and great tubing/swimming. Thank you. We hope to come again.
We really enjoyed our stay. The pontoon, the trampoline, the fishing and the quiet lake/neighborhood was a hit with everyone! There were 11 of us and the house was big enough so it never felt too crowded. Well stocked house and everything was labeled so it was easy to find items.
Great property with many fun amenities for a family get away. Very comfortable for a larger group with plenty of room to spread out and enjoy different activities during the time.

Craig, thank you for the nice review about The Lake House. We agree, the space is nice where you can all feel together but find an area for some down time as well. Hope your summer is going well. We hope to see your family back at The Lake House!
Ben, we love hosting your group!! Can't believe your family is already a multiple year return renter. We are excited for your family to stay again summer 2022!
Benjamin, we are so glad you enjoyed your family vacation at The Lake House! It's a great place and we are grateful to be able to share it with others. Thank you for being great guests, we hope to have your group back again. Thank you for staying with Grandview Getaways!
We had an amazing stay! This property truly has something for everyone—our family loved the water trampoline, volleyball, playground, and the beautiful sandy beach. The fishing was fantastic, and having a pontoon available made exploring the lake so easy and fun. The house itself was spotless, comfortable, and incredibly well equipped with everything we needed. Property owners amazing and accommodating! From morning coffee on the deck to evenings around the fire, every moment was perfect. We can’t wait to come back!
Loved the property! Excellent views of the lake from the back deck and from inside the house. Many spaces for folks to spread out. The pontoon was great, really glad we added that to our rental.
