We traveled from nearby to relax and spend time on the water, and this house had everything we needed. The footprint isn't huge, but the house is very well laid out. It has five bedrooms, without any of them feeling cramped. The living room with sliding doors onto the deck provided nice breezes and views of the lake. The basement, with two bedrooms and a pool table, was the perfect kid zone. And the kitchen is very well appointed, with a high-end stovetop, two ovens, a nice gas grill right outside, and any utensil/pan/small appliance you could need.
Check-in was easy with a key pad, and the host was easily accessibly via text for any questions.
We spent most of our time outside by the water. There are chairs for everyone, and a nice dock we used for laying out, watching sunrise, and launching our paddle boards. The only two drawbacks -- neither of which have anything to do with the owner or the actual house -- were (1) the house is on a frontage road to hwy 51, and there was a construction project across the street, so daytime was a little noisy; (2) the DNR isn't mowing weeds in the lake this year, and these lakes are a little overgrown to begin with, so water quality was not great; depending on which way the wind was blowing, the algae would start to mat up around the dock. We were able to swim, but we had to paddle out a bit first. Overall, small distractions; we would definitely recommend this house for groups, larger families, and/or those like us needing to stick kids and their friends into separate bedrooms during a pandemic.
