The house is fantastic, very luxurious and spacious with plenty of space for at least 8-10 people without feeling like you are on top of each other. We were there with 5 of us and there a couple of empty bedrooms plus my daughters had queen and double beds to themselves. There was plenty of privacy as well, but also good spots for group hangouts to watch TV or play games, and a handy little nook for working. There is even a secret bedroom hidden behind a bookcase that opens like a door!There is a gorgeous view of Lake Michigan in the backyard. The grounds are very large and well manicured; in fact, it was big enough for my daughter to practice soccer and kick the ball 30-40 yards in the air. There's even a rugged little trail you can take down to the beach that is a little challenging but not too bad for intermediate hikers; it was about a 5-10 minute walk down to the beach, and actually faster going back up (because we were careful on the steep parts going down). It was only about a five minute drive to the Piggly Wiggly grocery store to pick up stuff, and about fifteen minutes to get to downtown Port Washington. Port Washington itself is only about an hour from numerous inland lakes where you can rent a boat and waterski, tube, stand up paddle, jet ski, etc.
