Great for a large gathering. It was end of season. We were not able to really use the back part of house or master bedroom because it was to hot at night and not enough fans. We made do with the other parts of the house. Beautiful views and fun on the lake.

This was a lovely spot! Calm view of the water, easy for the kids to swim off the dock, quiet location. We especially loved the fire pit and the fireplace for cold days, and the house was stocked with everything we needed, including fans for unseasonably hot nights. We got a bonus fireworks show from the next-door neighbors, which we all loved! While we had a smooth experience, the house was overpriced for its condition. It needs some maintenance. If you're staying with multiple families, which is likely for a house with this many rooms, note the layout. There are 3 bedrooms in the front of the home, but those do not have their own bathroom on that level -- they share the downstairs common bathroom (next to the kitchen), which needs an upgrade. The back of the house is newer and has another cluster of bedrooms, including a master with its own bathroom (and amazing view!) and another bathroom for the other bedrooms.

Plenty of room for a large group (there were 10 of us), right on the water. Lots of activities available - you wouldn't even need to leave the property to have a great vacation! The kitchen is well-appointed and well-stocked; the living room is small but the gas fireplace made it a nice gathering area; the bedrooms are very comfy. Highly recommended!

Thank you for opening up your home to us, my wedding party was very pleased with the accommodations. We appreciated all the space for our group to spread out, plenty of towels, linens, storage space, etc. We did not utilize the kitchen much or prepare any meals for the entire group at the house but we did enjoy the spacious living room, dining room and nooks.

This property was excellent. It was spacious, clean, and had everything we could have needed. The location is perfect—right on a beautiful lake while still being only a few minutes from town, restaurants, and grocery stores. The owners were wonderful and very responsive. We hope to come back!
