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!

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!

The amenities suited all of our family's needs and more. We felt right at home. It's roomy, laid out well, and there seemed to be something for everyone, no matter the age. I doubt that we will find another place so well-suited for our entire family--14 and one on the way, ages 2-73. This was a vacation filled with life-time memories!

House on the Lake

There's lots of room and plenty of things to do on the property. It's at the end of the road with very little traffic that makes it even quieter.

Our family throughly enjoyed our stay in this beautiful home. The home was beautifully kept and all amenities were outstanding. The lake view is gorgeous. We really enjoyed the hot tub. Our family did not use the pool, but it looked clean and sparkling! Pool table, shuffleboard and games were enjoyed by all. The spacious living room and family room gave plenty of room to spread out and and relax. The kitchen was well equipped and we found everything we needed to prepare family dinners. We couldnt have asked for more. The owners provide guests with detailed instructions which insure that this home is loved and maintained in excellent condition.

The house and views are beautiful! Ken, the host, is so accommodating and kind. The house exceeded our expectations and was so perfect for our family! It had more than enough room! Our children and grandchildren had a blast with the SUP and kayak. The young ones especially loved the zip line! My husband and I loved watching them have so much fun! The large deck, hammock and fire pit were a hit with us!

Great weekend away

We had a great weekend with our friends at Drift Away. We picked this house for our annual family friend's weekend because of the outdoor space, indoor pool, and amble bedrooms. All were excellent. Our kids had a blast playing in the pool, riding the zip line, and playing in the downstairs space. The house was very family friendly with lots of beds and items to make the stay comfortable. There was a pack and play, high chair, and other baby/toddler items, too. We would love to come stay again!

Family vacation

Ken was very responsive and easy to work with. The house was beautiful, clean, and very kid friendly. They have bumbo style seats, 1-2 swings, and a baby tub. The large deck has gates that can be closed to contain children and prevent falling down the stairs. There seemed to be life jackets for all ages. There is a sandbox with some toys. The pathway down to the lake was easy to walk even for children. Overall, I would highly recommend staying here!
