Great stay!

The property was truly perfect with fantastic lounge spaces and close proximity to activities. We had a large group so the number of beds was great, and having so many community areas was a treat. Hosts were responsive with questions and the place had all the basic amenities you'd need. Can't wait to come back!

Summer break with family

The home was very nice and well maintained. Our family enjoyed the setting with the lake view and many other features. We spent our nights in the movie room and lower level playing pool, cornhole, or cards. Great place for families with plenty of entertainment in the house and surrounding area.

A Taste of Fall

The property never disappointed- from the views from every window, the great kitchen, movie night, rocking in a deck chair to enjoying an evening campfire around the fire ring. The house surpassed the photos and descriptions posted. A perfect spot to return to! The management was well organized and made the whole process very easy on us. Bekki Reid

A beautiful, comfortable house with quiet surrounding.

My whole family, that made up of nine adults, ranging in ages 23 to 81, were all very happy with the accommodations. Everyone had a bed, plenty of things to do and enough space to spread out or gather to enjoy their stay. The management company were very helpful and quit to respond to any of our needs. I would certainly recommend this property to anyone who asked my opinion.
