The view of the lake was beautiful and relaxing. Plenty of room for family members to play board games, watch football, cook and eat. Sleeping summer camp style with multiple beds per room; a little tough with toddlers but fine for the majority.

Lots of room for Graduation Party. Enjoyed watching a thunderstorm over the lake and the fire flies in the yard at night. comfortable beds. loved the 2 big tables so everyone had a place to sit and eat.
This place was great. Plenty of space for our group and the facility was very clean. We were very happy with our stay here! The house sits on a point overlooking the lake with an amazing view.
Thank you!

Thank you for being great guests! I hope you can come back in the future!
This home was just as described in the listing. It was amazingly clean and had plenty of beds and bathrooms for our family to spread out.
The huge living and kitchen areas along with the outside deck provided a wonderful area to gather.
The home is, by far, the best we've rented.
We will definitely rent again for a large gathering.

Thank you so much! I am glad you had a wonderful time. You were perfect guests. I hope you will come again!
We had a small knitting retreat and the house was perfect. We had our own private spaces and the common area was fantastic for hanging out and chatting and sharing our fiber crafts. The kitchen was more than ample for storage / utensils and cutlery. All the beds were comfortable and clean. Would definitely stay again.

Bad host, great property
Property is very good except for sewer smell at the entrance. Host is very rude.
Property is as listed. Great for large groups. We had a fantastic time. The only negative I can recommend is that the beds could use a little upgrade. The sheets are very sheer/thin and not real comfortable. (Maybe me) Overall, a fantastic place. I would not hesitate to stay there again.
Everything about our stay was over the top. We are talking about 20 ladies ages 30+, that truly enjoyed every part of our weekend in this beautiful home. We are already planning to return, just need to come up with the date. All I can say is, don't hesitate, this home is gorgeous and set up perfectly for any guys or gals weekend getaway. I even mentioned it to the hubs for his guys golf weekend.
We have been renting homes for several years now and have seen a lot of them. This one was special and one if the biggest home we ever rented. The check-in process was very smooth with proper instructions. The house has enough space for people to sleep and has a wonderful lake view. Kids really enjoyed the game room and they were locked in their for most of the time. There are instructions all around the house which was kind of unique and also useful.
Overall, we had a wonderful time and everyone enjoyed the stay. The living hall was so big that it could host the entire group and we had fun.
It is truly beautiful. A storm came the night of check in which light up the sky & with waves whipping & hail pelting from dime to golf ball size. The children slept through it all as they had played hard & had cousin time. Yes, it knocked out the internet & downed trees, but Rebecca was on it as soon as informed & stayed concerned for our comfort until all fixed. The lake was enjoyed by all with swimming, kayaking, fishing & shell collecting. This will not be a vacation easily forgotten.
