Our family has made a tradition out of renting a different lakehouse for one week of the summer for each of the last 5-6 years. In total, there’s two families (4 adults & 5 kids ages 1 yr to 12 yrs)… and this house had more than ample space. The neighbors were tighter than the houses we’ve rented in the past, but they were more than accommodating and both proved to be extremely friendly, which made this a non-issue. The cottage itself was recently renovated and it showed, it was cleaner and more updated than any of our previous rentals, and was decorated nicely to really make you feel relaxed… there was no forgetting you were at the lake, which made parking your cellphone and forgetting about work very easy! The beachfront was very sandy on shore, and fairly weed free/sandy bottom out to about (adult) waist/chest deep, which was more than adequate for the kids, who spent nearly every daylight hour in the water, fishing from the dock (small bluegills galore), or playing in the sand. The abundance of beach toys and games for all ages was appreciated. We had our ski boat with us and had no trouble quickly identifying the no wake areas or the shallows, and while we missed the best skiing conditions (morning/evening), we did otherwise enjoy the no wake hours for the overall peace and quiet (6:30 PM to 10:00 AM… I believe… it’s posted at the house and launch to confirm). Everyone loved the welcome package… especially the cupcakes… even making a quick trip to buy another batch in town mid-week! A quick picnic & swim at the island was a fun outing for the kids and is recommended. The owners were excellent, great to communicate with, friendly, available but never over-bearing, and very invested in making us enjoy our stay. Overall, we loved the place and will definitely consider another stay next season!
