Stunning, spacious home- perfect for family gathering

John's place did not disappoint! True to description and other reviews-- well stocked, clean, spacious and plenty to do. My multigenerational family (from 75 years to infant) enjoyed the large gathering room and spent many mornings out on the porch overlooking the water. Huge bonus being able to rent the pontoon boat to explore the lake. If you have small children, there is a local, public beach/park right around the corner. Five star pizza was great; we enjoyed that while playing games and spending many nights at the bonfire. 10/10 would recommend!

Great Palmer Lake Vacation

Large lakefront home with bedrooms, kitchen with table and chairs, family room, and outdoor and indoor porches to comfortably accommodate my family group of 12. And Palmer Lake is large enough with low boat traffic for tubing, swimming, and kayaking.

Friends Lakehouse Getaway

The home was exactly as described and had everything we needed for our long weekend stay. There are plenty of chairs and beds for all of the guests to use. The lake view is beautiful. We rented the pontoon boat, spent time swimming and lounging in rafts. Would definitely recommend this property to others.

This house has it all, with no lack of space! Plenty of beds, bathrooms, seating for meals and even seating for relaxation!! Outdoor yard toys in garage and beautiful lake view!!!!

Great house

Absolutely huge and beautiful house. Very clean when we got there, and the humongous kitchen came in handy. Perfect views of the lake and plenty of things to do and space to spread out in. We will definitely return for our next large friend group vacation!

Beautiful lake and sunset view from the porch!

My six grade school girlfriends and I spent four WONDERFUL days in this beautiful lakefront home. There was plenty of room for us to have our meals together in the kitchen and to sit on the porch enjoying our morning coffee and the evening sunset, with comfortable seating for all. There were also plenty of bedrooms for each of us to have privacy. We LOVED the pontoon boat, also plenty of room for all of us and VERY comfortable seating. Thank you to the owners, who were very responsive and whose story touched all of our hearts.

AMAZING week for our Large Family of 13!

We have rented Lakehouses since 2007 and this house was the best by far! The care of the house did not go unnoticed. The house was top-notch with supplies, space, amenities, technology, music, yard area, seating areas, etc. We don’t like to repeat houses in our annual yearly adventures, but I have a feeling we will be back to this one! Thank you for the care you give your home!

Perfect family getaway cottage

This house was perfect for our extended family summer getaway. The house was extremely well stocked (far more so than most rentals we’ve stayed at in the past). It was clean, spacious and comfortable. The owners were responsive and easy to deal with. It seems the only thing they take more pride in than their cottage, is their family and love of country. Aside from the weather, it was a perfect getaway. We are planning a return trip to the cottage next summer.

Wonderful vacation

This place was perfect. We loved all the space and all the bedrooms. There was plenty of room for us all to hang out together or in smaller groups. We had 6 adults and 4 teenage boys and 1 3 year old. The place was exactly how it was pictured. We loved all the games and toys and the large table. It was great place for our family to meet, it was between SD and PA. We would definitely come again. It was a great week and many memories were made.

Wonderful home!

My large family stayed at this house, they absolutely loved it! It’s plenty big for multiple families and the kitchen/living room/deck is perfect for large meals. It has so much seating inside and out and everything you could ever need. We had 2 babies and there was a crib and toys that entertained them for days. The covered deck allowed us to gather even on a rainy night. They’re hoping to come back again. Thank you Angel for sharing your home with us! We made lots of wonderful memories ❤️
