The lake and beach make for a perfectly relaxing place to stay, play, paddle, swim, and fish. I came with a large family in early August, and the house accommodated us very well. The house is not fancy, but it has great charm and is very functional. The heat pump in the main areas upstairs and downstairs provide cooling, though it takes a bit of planning to make sure that cold air gets pushed to the back rooms on hot days. The house is on a limited septic system, so we heeded owner's advice to conserve water with a large group and did not have any issues. Because the lake is a bit off the beaten path, it isn't swarming with ski boats and stays very peaceful. There are gobs of floaties for bobbing around on the lake, two adult kayaks, one child's kayak, fishing gear, life jackets, and other beach toys. It was truly a wonderful place to stay.
