Our group had a wonderful stay at this lakeside home. We brought a pontoon and boat along with us, which we didn't use on Little Muskie because it is so small, but there is a very nice lake just minutes away (Big Arbor Vitae) that was perfect for boating and tubing, and was pretty quiet the days we were there. If you have kids who love to fish, though, this is the perfect place. Our grandsons, 8 and 5, had a great time pulling in little fish almost as fast as they could drop their lines and was the absolute highlight of their stay. The home is spacious and allowed for our party of 15 to spread out as needed. There is a door that can be closed between the main area and the sleeping quarters, which was great for when the littles were napping. The bedrooms got a little warm at night with the doors closed, even with the AC running, so bringing a little fan if you're a hot sleeper would be helpful. The kitchen is very spacious and well stocked with the essentials. The one thing we didn't appreciate so much was the amount of traffic noise from the adjacent highway, so if you're looking for peace and quiet this isn't the place for you, but the trade off for us was finding this beautiful home with enough space to accommodate our large group. Overall a great place to stay!

The home was exceptionally clean, and we all felt comfortable from our very first night. It is beautiful, well-maintained, and very functional for a large group. The bedrooms are thoughtfully located away from the main living area, which allowed those who wanted to sleep to do so without being disturbed by activity in the common spaces.However, we felt the location and lake access were not accurately represented in the listing. The home is quite close to the highway, so we had to be especially careful with our young children. Traffic noise, including cars and motorcycles, was noticeable throughout the day and even during our evening bonfires.We were also disappointed to discover prior to our arrival, that the lake does not have a public boat launch, which was not disclosed in the description. As a family that enjoys fishing, this was a significant drawback.Overall, we enjoyed our stay and appreciated the cleanliness, comfort, and layout of the home, but we believe the listing should provide a clearer description of the location and lake access so future guests know what to expect.

The place was very clean and spacious. Able to accommodate 12 adults comfortably. The bedrooms are all in the back of the place which is nice for quiet for those sleeping. My only issue with the place is that it is literally off of hwy 51 and the traffic noise if VERY loud. If I had known that I may have reconsidered staying here as I was looking for something quiet. If that is not an issue then this is a very nice place for a large group. Being that it is literally off of Hwy 51 it is close to everything you need - stores, grocery , gas etc. The lake is fine, nice to have kayaks to use but lake is not very swim friendly unless you go in the middle due to all the weeds. These are not complaints more as FYI…to make a fully informed decision. Host are very easy to work with and prompt to respond to questions
