We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at this home. We traveled as 4 families for our annual trip and this house could not have been better. Rooms were all clean with functional bathrooms! The indoor pool was a an excellent touch. Fishing on the dock was slow, but I'm sure that the weather had something to do with it. Using the kayak to go further out may be a better set up. We will not hesitate to visit again for another trip.

We had a great time! The house was in a quiet area and very spacious. Was great for the kids with the pool (very safe with loud alarm for those concerned) right off the kitchen and downstairs play area. Adults loved the hot tub and updated bathrooms. We will likely rent again!

The home was better than the pictures even portray, the pool door alarm with littles made me feel so safe, the amenities were top notch and the newly redone bathrooms were gorgeous! We got snow and ice during our stay and the host was easy to contact and more than helpful with information and got us plowed out quickly! Couldn’t recommend this place enough!

Home was a great layout for our family. Lots of space for gathering. Hot tub, pool, kayaks, billiard's and shuffleboard provided lots of activities. Kitchen is well equipped. Home was clean; modern bathrooms were very nice. Deck furniture was in good condition and plentiful. Owner was responsive to my communications. I would consider staying in this home again, should our family vacation bring up back to the area.

This house was breathtaking! The view to the lake, through all the trees was beautiful! My family and I very much enjoyed our stay. The house was very clean, very comfortable, had everything as stated in the guide. Check in and out was simple. If you are looking for private, this is it! This house had everything. The indoor pool was fun, the jacuzzi was perfect. This was my first time to the area, and it was great. I'm already looking to book again for the winter in this house to take in new views and activitives. We mostly spent our days lounging on the huge deck and taking in the nature scenery. It's tucked away, but close to restaurants and activities. I would and plan on staying again!

Our family of 11 adults had a wonderful stay at Drift Away. The 7 bedrooms and 7 full bathrooms afforded everyone the privacy they needed. We also found the amenities convenient and enjoyable, such as the dock, kayaks, canoe, stand up paddle boards, pool, hot tub, and fire pit. We would definitely rent this beautiful home again!

We had 17 people in our group. We chose this house to accommodate our group for a family reunion. This house could not have been any better. The house is very spacious and had a great kitchen and plenty of seating. We loved that everyone had their own bathroom. Ken was wonderful to communicate with. I was able to get all my questions answered very quickly and he was fabulous to give us information upfront so we knew what to do for check in procedures and checkout. Thank you so much for sharing this house our family had an amazing time.

Amazing lakefront property! We stayed as a group of three families and had more than enough space for everyone. The pool, hot tub, and private dock were perfect, and we loved having so many amenities right at the house — kayaks, paddle boards, tubes, and more. It truly had everything we needed for a fun and relaxing getaway. Highly recommend for groups or families looking for the perfect lake retreat!
