A beautiful property…perfect for a family reunion! We loved the two levels! The football fans really enjoyed the lower bar area with the surround televisions for viewing their favorite teams! The two large upper and lower decks provided a great view of the lake!

We stayed three nights with a group of 14 people ranging in age from 3 months to 90 years-old and everyone had an amazing time! The house has everything you could need and space for everyone to gather but also maintain privacy when needed. We loved the location on the quiet cove. It was perfect for the kids to swim and play in the water. Truly a weekend to remember!

Fantastic house for a big group! Two full kitchens, plenty of refrigerator space for bringing lots of food that’s already prepped. Plenty of extra supplies there and every kitchen utensil and appliance you can imagine. Have the boat ramp, slip and swim dock all there was awesome too! Communication with owner manager very quick and easy. Very easy to work with. Would absolutely come back to this property again!!!!!!

Fantastic for large family vacation

We had a fantastic stay! The layout was perfect for our family with bedrooms having attached bath. The house is well-designed with two kitchens and 3 refrigerators, making it easy to prepare meals and store everything we needed for a large group. We used the upper living room area for our kids to sleep. All beds, including the pull out couch were super comfortable!The downstairs area was definitely a highlight, with a great bar setup and plenty of seating for the whole family to gather and hang out. Even on rainy days, the covered decks gave us a great space to relax and play games like bean bags.The location was ideal—close to grocery stores and restaurants, but still peaceful and private. The dock area was huge, easily accommodating two boats, and was a great spot for relaxing by the water.The house was spotless and very well stocked with everything we needed. Communication with the host was excellent—they were very responsive and helpful with any questions or issues.We would absolutely stay here again!

Great House!

We rented the house for an offsite leadership team retreat and this house was perfect! Everyone kept commenting on how much they enjoyed the space. We each had our own private bedroom and bathroom as well as so many rooms with a unique ambience to sit and collaborate. The owners were very responsive and accommodating. Thank you for a great stay!

Girls Trip...Beautiful Home!

There were 7 of us, friends for over 30 years. We had the best time! The house is beautiful! We had more than enough room for all of us to gather or have a little alone time. The kitchens are very well stocked with everything you need to cook a fabulous meal. We spent most of our time on the outside deck, there are plenty of seating areas and tables. Chris was very responsive to a couple questions I had. I would highly recommend this house!

Nice holiday weekend

This is a beautiful property with a great location. It is quiet and peaceful and close to everything. The bed I slept in was very comfortable and the showers are nice. The price is fair but the fees are high. There was no soap or shampoo and only one towel per person. I would stay here again and recommend it to large groups or families.

Wonderful place for girls weekend

This is an absolutely lovely property. We booked the place for a girls trip and it was wonderful. Plenty of space for eight people, all of whom had their own bedroom and bathroom. The decor is sleek, modern yet cozy. The kitchen had all the amenities we needed for cooking and serving meals. The weather was so cold that weekend, we never left the house! Yet we had a great time simply hanging out in this spacious, beautiful property. We will definitely book this place again!

Beautiful place to stay

Overall we had a really good experience at this home & would come back. Having your own boat loading ramp was amazing and two docks was an absolute perk. Plenty of parking on site for multiple cars, trucks & boat trailers! Love that every bedroom has it's own bathroom and the place had a lot of seating for a large family gathering. The kitchens were NOT built for cooking for large parties & several of the appliances were not working. This made it difficult to have meals done on time but we were able to manage. Would recommend bringing your own pots & pans if you plan to cook and also bring lots of your own towels. The house only provides 2 shower towels per bathroom and NO beach towels. Overall we had an amazing time with family and you can tell the owners really care about the home & the comfort of those staying here. Hope to come back one day!!
