Amazing property with plenty of space and interesting features. Helpful directions on accessing the property. Lake views were wonderful. CONS: A few areas were not cleaned well (kitchen cookware and supplies had visible food on them and coffee pot had leftover coffee; grill was unusable); lighting was low throughout the house; exterior deck and seating areas had not been swept/cleared of spiderwebs.Overall was happy with the property and it accommodated our large family gathering well.

We had planned a family reunion because my daughter was getting married and we wanted to have the family and the bridal party at one location. We booked 2 of the three locations on this property, The Gem (main house) and the Manor house for the bridal party. The location was perfect! The Gem house was incredibly unique, clean with a large out door deck right along the water. We had upwards of 25 people that we entertained throughout the weekend with the family and bridal party. We had plenty of space and the kids loved the outdoors. It was secluded but not out of the way. We had a 6 month old baby all the way up to my 76 year old sister and ever age in between. The host was incredibly accommodating!! We had the rehearsal dinner at The Boat House which was convenient and a blast! Looking back on it, I can’t imagine a more perfect week with family and friends and the house was the perfect location to bring it all together. Thank you so much for the memories!!

This property was just amazing. The Estate house feels like a giant mansion. The indoor sauna and racquetball courts were delightful surprises for us. The grounds themselves are so peaceful, with beautiful walking trails along the water. Our favorite feature was the fire-pit and gazebo down by the water. We sat around it every single night.
