Great Memeories

Appreciated the fully stocked home. Towels, hot tub towels, robes. We didn't need these things but there was a high chair, play pen, baby gate. There were numerous kids games, adult games and puzzles. We had a great time away with our grown kids, but the house did have many sitting areas to "get away" for personal down time if needed.

Just what we needed

After a crazy summer and fall we decided that we needed some R&R. This property checked all of the boxes so we booked. From the get go Ben was quick to reply and made sure that we had all the information we needed. This property and the amazing hospitality and responsiveness of the hosts helped make our stay exactly what the doctor ordered. We all agreed that we'd happily come back.

Family Retreat

My husband and I wanted some time away from our busy lives with our adult children and grandchildren. This family retreat was about sharing time together, leaving behind our regular routines to reminisce and to make new family memories. This big cozy home was perfect. There was so much space for different styles of relaxing and plenty of games/activities. We enjoyed the hot tub over looking the beautiful lake and even roasted a marsh mellow treat at the fire pit. We planned our family meals by the kitchen island and were pleasantly surprised with all of the kitchen amenities. The only less than positive feedback which would not change my rating but might ad for the owners to fix. The interior doors did not lock, so we had to make a habit of knocking before entering any closed door rooms within the home. Otherwise top notch stay. Thank you for your hospitality. We have already talked about coming back this summer, but I can't even imagine there will be a week open with the awesome outdoor amenities these hosts have added.

Amazing Lake House!

The moment we drove up the driveway we knew we found a gem! This home exceeded our expectations! The views of the lake when you enter the front door are spectacular! The home has everything you would need or want! Very well equipped. The beds were so comfortable, many linens, even found beach towels. The coffee station on the lower level great for early risers. It had everything you might have forgotten. The ping pong table was a huge hit when it was raining, as were all the games. The ride down to the dock was really a treat. Caught and released a lot of fish with the fishing pole provided, fun drinks at the little dock table. Can’t say enough about this wonderful place! We’re not tv watchers, but there were a lot of those and lots of places to sleep and congregate. The location to restaurants and fun bars was a plus for us, as well! Thanks for a fantastic week, hope to be back next year! Oh, almost forgot to thank you for the s’mores box! We had a fire in the fire pit one night to enjoy those!
